摘要我们分析了社会集聚如何在国际政治经济(IPE)中运行的组织逻辑。使用各种有关IPE出版、教学和会议出席情况的新数据，我们使用网络分析和社区检测来了解该领域内的社会集群。我们发现，当涉及到出版和智力参与时，IPE是高度多元化的，并受到“利基扩散”逻辑的驱动。然而，IPE教学的特点是强调本体论和认识论框架中的二元论。面对竞争排挤的压力，知识界通过构建利基市场来重生，同时也认同一个共同的传统。
ABSTRACT We analyze the organizational logics of how social clustering operates within International Political Economy (IPE). Using a variety of new data on IPE publishing, teaching, and conference attendance, we use network analysis and community detection to understand social clustering within the field. We find that when it comes to publishing and intellectual engagement, IPE is highly pluralistic and driven by a logic of ‘niche proliferation’. Teaching IPE, however, is characterized by a ‘reduction to polarity’ that emphasizes a dualism in ontological and epistemological frames. In the face of competitive exclusion pressures, intellectual communities regenerate themselves by constructing niches while simultaneously nodding to a common tradition.
