Description

Emphasizing both domestic and international politics as well as fundamental economic principles, International Political Economy is the most accessible and holistic overview of the global economy.

This text offers students a uniquely engaging introduction to IPE by viewing global economic exchange as a political competition. While surveying key IPE theories, economic principles, institutions, and processes, the text explains how this competition raises social welfare but also creates winners and losers who influence the policies of governments and international institutions and ultimately the global economy.

Features

Examines IPE through a unifying theme of winners and losers to explain current developments in the global economy.

Includes non-technical treatment of fundamental economic principles (comparative advantage, balance of payment adjustments, exchange rate systems, etc.) to help students more effectively study IPE.

Uniquely focuses on domestic politics and institutions and their role in the global economy.

Covers the politics of economic development in four chapters–the most coverage in any IPE survey.

“Closer Look” boxes offer in-depth explorations of current trends and events in the global economy and global economic institutions.

“Policy Analysis and Debate” boxes present multiple perspectives on key IPE issues and encourage students to critically examine the international economic system.

Concludes with the debate over globalization, which draws on current research to encourage students to understand the debate’s central issues and to place them in the broader context of IPE.

Key terms, web links, suggestions for further readings in every chapter allow students to delve deeper into topics.

New To This Edition

Expanded coverage of China and India illustrates in greater depth the role these two large countries play in the global economy.

Expanded historical coverage places contemporary globalization in a broader context.

Updated coverage and analysis of current events, including the Doha round, developing country debt and debt forgiveness, TRIPs, sweatshops, the United States’ current account imbalance, and IMF reform.
