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.
