Abstract
This short piece responds to Matthias Kranke’s extended review of our 2011 book Critical
International Political Economy: Dialogue, Debate, Dissensus. We reiterate the book’s commitment
to challenging disciplinary orthodoxies and immanent critique. The response also observes how
the review elides a number of crucial definitions to abrogate our commitment to an expansive
disciplinary engagement.
Keywords
academic disciplines, Critical International Political Economy, dissensus, immanent critique,
knowledge production, reflexivity
Our thanks go to Matthias Kranke, who has found so much to reflect on in his extended
review of our 2011 edited collection Critical International Political Economy: Dialogue,
Debate and Dissensus (hereafter CIPE).1 One aim of CIPE was not to foreclose
