The Informal Economy in Global Perspective Varieties of Governance Edited by Abel Polese, Colin C. Williams, Ioana A. Horodnic and Predrag Bejakovic

International Political Economy Series Series Editor Timothy M. Shaw Visiting Professor University of Massachusetts Boston, USA Emeritus Professor, University of London, UK

The global political economy is in flux as a series of cumulative crises impacts its organization and governance. The IPE series has tracked its development in both analysis and structure over the last three decades. It has always had a concentration on the global South. Now the South increasingly c­ hallenges the North as the centre of development, also reflected in a growing number of submissions and publications on indebted Eurozone economies in Southern Europe. An indispensable resource for scholars and researchers, the series examines a variety of capitalisms and ­connections by focusing on emerging economies, companies and sectors, debates and ­ policies. It informs diverse policy communities as the established ­ trans-Atlantic North declines and ‘the rest’, especially the BRICS, rise.
