With this project, we wanted to bring peripherality at the centre of contemporary debates in Comparative Political Economy. How does our understanding of growth models and their politics change once we take peripheral capitalism seriously?

…and what adaptations does the growth model conceptual toolkit need to make sense of the politics of growth and stagnation in peripheral capitalist contexts? To tackle these questions, the SI brings insights from Latam structuralism, dependency theory and IPE in dialogue with the GM debate in CPE.

The papers explore how peripheral advanced economies navigate global hierarchies, balance of payments constraints & structural heterogeneity, and how peripherality shapes coalitional politics and agency -in varied cases such as Turkey, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Spain, Serbia, Chile, Uruguay & Israel
