purpose. 
As 
Figure 
1.1 
suggests, 
different 
actors 
tend 
to 
operate
more 
in 
some 
domains 
than 
others, 
and 
specific 
categories 
of 
action 
may
be 
more 
commercially 
or 
more 
politically 
sensitive. 
Yet 
understanding
the 
range 
of 
factors 
that 
shape 
political-economic 
processes 
and
outcomes 
requires 
a 
multidimensional 
analysis.
As 
other 
IPE 
scholars 
such 
as 
Geoffrey 
Underhill 
(2005) 
have 
high-
lighted, 
systems 
of 
political 
authority 
and 
market 
systems 
of 
wealth
production 
and 
distribution 
form 
‘part 
of 
the 
same, 
integrated 
ensemble
of 
governance’ 
rather 
than 
distinct 
realms 
of 
action. 
The 
dynamics 
of
political 
interaction 
therefore 
constitute 
‘
the 
means 
by 
which 
economic
structures, 
in 
particular 
the 
structures 
of 
the 
market, 
are 
established 
and
in 
turn 
transformed
’ 
(Underhill 
2005: 
4, 
emphasis 
original). 
In 
short,
market 
systems 
and 
political 
systems 
are 
co-constitutive: 
states 
both
create 
economic 
structures 
of 
production 
and 
distribution, 
and 
in 
turn
are 
shaped 
by, 
and 
through, 
these 
market 
processes. 
The 
co-constitutive
relationship 
between 
states 
and 
markets 
also 
cuts 
across 
the 
analytic
distinction 
that 
is 
typically 
drawn 
between 
domestic 
economic 
processes
