Description

Praised for its authoritative coverage of theory and history, Global Political Economy places the study of IPE in the broadest global context.

Written by one of the field’s leading scholars, this text helps students understand the fundamental importance of international political economy and make sense of current events in the global economy. Its three areas of focus—globalization, North-North relations, and North-South relations—encourage students to connect theory and history with practice, explore domestic and international economic interactions, and examine the critical relationship between economic and security issues.

Features

Surveys the main theoretical perspectives in IPE, including realism, liberalism, and historical structuralism, and consistently relates them to practice.

Puts issues in historical context so students understand recent developments.

Emphasizes the role of international organizations–such as the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank–in managing the global political economy in the 20^th and 21^st century.

Examines regionalism’s effect on the global political economy.

Analyzes both economic and security issues and how they are interconnected.

Tables and figures throughout the text illustrate data and clarify key concepts.

New To This Edition

"Considering Theory and Practice," a new boxed feature, shows how to apply the field's main theoretical perspectives to issues like trade and monetary relations, foreign debt and financial crises, multinational corporations, international development, and globalizaiton.

New study questions help students engage major issues and concepts in every chapter.

Discussions of globalization are more deeply integrated, with a new discussion of global civil society in Part I.

Part II includes more coverage of feminist theory and social constructivism.

Updated coverage and analysis of current events includes China’s rise, the changing role of major currencies like the U.S. dollar and the euro, new attempts to deal with foreign debt and financial crises, problems with the Doha round of multilateral trade negotiations, changes in the IMF and World Bank, and the controversy over neoliberalism in Latin America.

A shorter and more streamlined narrative helps students focus on the most important material.
