Preface
This volume originated at an ECPR joint workshop session in Lisbon,
Portugal, in April 2009. We sought to provide a forum for researchers
who shared a wider understanding of governance as including aspects
of structural power and informal rule, where they could meet and dis-
cuss for almost a week. One of the core concerns of the workshop
was to encourage more debate between scholars working within the
fields of international political economy (IPE) and Foucauldian stud-
ies. We remain grateful to the participants for engaging in this not
always frictionless exercise. Since concepts acquire their meaning from
the theories in which they are embedded, our debates required run-
ning simultaneous theoretical translations, as well as some theoretical
multilingualism. However painful they may be, such translations offer
thepossibilityoftrenchantcriticismcombinedwiththeenrichmentof
one’sownandotherpeople’sapproaches,becausetheyprovideacritical
anglethatisbothinternalandexternal.Translationsthusbecomepart
of another language, even while they remain part of the voice of the
originatinglanguage.
Notallofthepaperscouldbeselectedforthisvolume,andsome,duly
revised, have been published elsewhere (Nik Rajkovic in the European
Journal of International Relations; Jason Sharman in International Stud-
ies Quarterly). We also went on to invite scholars to cover the issue of
private governance and apply Foucault directly to IPE (see chapters by
GrazandNölke,andVestergaard).Wehopethatthisvolume,withitsby
nowthoroughlyreworkedchapters,willbegintosucceedinredirecting
theanalysisofgovernanceawayfromitscurrenttooexclusivefocuson
questionsofsteering.
Running this workshop together was also a good experience for us.
By the time this volume appears, we will have known each other for
20years,havingmetforthefirsttimein1992attheinauguralStanding
Group of International Relations conference in Heidelberg, Germany.
Over the years, we have kept up our very own IPE-meets-Foucault
conversation, usually over meals in Florence (Italy), Oslo (Norway) or
Copenhagen(Denmark).Itwasgood,finally,toco-publish.
