This article suggests that the field of international political economy ( IPE ) would benefit from greater engagement with radicalism. Radical political economy ( RPE ) continues to be a relevant counterweight to moderate forms of IPE . Radicalism is portrayed in this work as a vision of history, distinct from static and evolutionary interpretations of the past. And, like their moderate counterparts, radicals are divided as to what will happen in the twenty-first century. Some scholars believe that the capitalist nation-state system will stabilize, while others predict it will transform into some type of post-capitalist and post-national system. By pairing visions of history with expectations for the future, this article offers a typology of six distinct world-historical opinions. It concludes that radicals offer an important alternative perspective to the writings of moderates and yet, in being split about the future, are remarkably similar to others wrestling with questions of transformation.

新时代的旧观念:国际政治经济学的激进历史

本文建议,更多地参与激进主义将使国际政治经济领域(IPE)受益。激进的政治经济学(RPE)仍然是适度形式的IPE的重要平衡点。在这部作品中,激进主义被描绘为对历史的看法,与过去的静态和进化解释不同。而且,就像温和的对手一样,激进派对于二十一世纪将会发生的事情也存在分歧。一些学者认为,资本主义民族国家体系将稳定下来,而另一些学者则预测它将转变为某种后资本主义和后民族体系。通过将历史远景与对未来的期望相结合,本文提供了六种截然不同的世界历史观点的类型学。
