Abstract
The study of comparative political economy is at a crossroads. The conceptual foundations for the field were laid during the late 1960s and early 1970s just as the "golden age" of postwar capitalism was peaking. However, the industrialized economies have experienced dramatic changes during the past two decades. Are the concepts on which we have long relied still adequate for organizing our understanding of the political economy? How might they be extended or revised to explain economic and political developments today?
