There is no abstract, but this is a representative paragraph from the introduction: 'In this short article, we respond to some of the points raised in Daniel Šitera’s discussion of our New Directions in Comparative Capitalisms Research volume.Whilewe welcome his engaging and open comments, we take issue with his misinterpretation of one of the original aims of the project from which the volume emerged, that of sustaining a critical dialogue with more conventional Comparative Capitalisms (CC) approaches. This leads us to develop three more specific arguments concerning (1) our supposed neglect of contestation and struggles for emancipation within (and beyond) capitalism, (2) the topic of dependency and dependentcapitalist development, and (3) pluralism and dialogue with the CC mainstream. Concretely, we maintain that Šitera does not sufficiently recognise how our projecthas offered tools for theorising and empirically analysing contestation in diverse capitalist societies, that he argues on the basis of a caricaturised understanding ofdependency, and that he under-estimates our concern with intellectual pluralism and dialogue with the mainstream. We conclude by considering some possible‘new directions in the new directions’, pointing towards some potential innovative avenues for critical, global CC research, and affirming that while our project clearly had certain goals and aims, they all had intellectual openness and political possibilities at their heart.' |
