  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Palgrave Handbooks in IPE ((PHIPE))

Abstract

Although, as underlined in the introduction, the traditional IPE (international political economy) trichotomy between realism, neoliberalism and Marxism is a long-standing one, only recently the field of critical IPE has enjoyed a flourishing of different approaches and the attention of a broader audience. In recent years, more and more scholars, not necessarily attached to the Marxist tradition, have sought to analyse the global political economy using the conceptual, analytical and theoretical tools provided by critical approaches to IPE.

    For a very good account of the definition of middle class in the Middle East see Luciani, “[t]he middle class per se has no other distinguishing feature except that it finds itself between a top class, comprising the elite, and a lower class, comprising the masses” (2007:163). See also Roccu 2012; Clark 2004; Ayubi 2008.
