Ben Clift鈥檚 co-authored article 鈥楻emembering and Forgetting IPE: Disciplinary History as Boundary Work鈥� (with Peter Marcus Kristensen and former PAIS legend Ben Rosamond - both at the University of Copenhagen), is the lead article in the latest issue (Vol. 29, No. 2) of Review of International Political Economy

First presented to PAIS鈥檚 IPE cluster in November 2017, where the authors received fabulously helpful and constructive comments, this work explores the disciplinary politics of IPE as a field by lifting the lid on the 鈥榖oundary work鈥� that disciplinary histories in textbooks perform. The paper analyses how academic gatekeepers in positions of disciplinary influence shape perceptions about appropriate conduct within the field, what constitutes its core, and what lies outside its realm. Disciplinary history entails forgetting certain events, scholars and works that do not fit the prevailing chronology, marginalising or excluding some topics, debates and questions from the core of the field. We evidence our claims about the boundary work done in narrating IPE鈥檚 origins through bibliometric mapping and network analysis of IPE citation patterns and practices. We find that IPE is a narrower, more blinkered field than it typically presents itself to be.

A collection of previously untranslated writings by Henri Lefebvre on rural sociology, situating his research in relation to wider Marxist work has been published by University of Minnesota Press.

Stuart Elden (PAIS) and Adam David Morton (University of Sydney) have edited Lefebvre鈥檚 key works on rural questions, including the first half of his book Du rural 脿 l鈥檜rbain and supplementary texts. On the Rural reveals the production of the rural as a key site of capitalist development and as a space of struggle.

The book was translated by Robert Bononno, with one essay each by Matthew Dennis (formerly Warwick Philosophy) and S卯an Rosa Hunter Dodsworth. Stuart and Adam edited the texts, add detailed notes, and wrote a substantial introduction.
