International Political Economy

This introduction to Global Political Economy offers a comprehensive introduction to global political economy, combining history, theory, and contemporary issues and debates. With a careful balance of empirical material and critical analysis, the chapters introduce readers to the diversity of perspectives in GPE, and encourage readers to unpack claims and challenge explanations. This new edition features a brand new chapter on the global trade regimes and thorough updates throughout to reflect the rise of new actors, especially the BRICs, and the role of developing economies in global governance. The second section of the text gives emphasis to questions of global trade and production.Less
