All at sea in a barbed wire canoe: ProfessorCohen's transatlantic voyage in IPERichard Higgott and Matthew WatsonUniversity of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UKABSTRACTThe following article is written as a sympathetic critique of Benjamin Cohen'srecent identification in RIPE of incommensurable traditions of American andBritish IPE. It is also designed to engender further debate within the subjectfield on this most central of issues. Our argument is that scholars shouldbeware the rigid terms in which Cohen identifies IPE's transatlantic divide,because simply by naming his two camps as polar opposites the invitation isopen to others to entrench such an opposition in their own work. This wouldbe regrettable enough had IPE already lapsed into the geographical divisionthat Cohen describes. It is made more regrettable still by the fact that thisis in any case an inaccurate account of the field which serves to marginalisemuch of the work that is currently at its cutting edge.

beware the rigid terms in which Cohen identifies IPE’s transatlantic divide,
because simply by naming his two camps as polar opposites the invitation is
open to others to entrench such an opposition in their own work. This would
be regrettable enough had IPE already lapsed into the geographical division
that Cohen describes. It is made more regrettable still by the fact that this
