Author Description

"This new introduction to the study of international political economy focuses on three major themes in the post-Cold War period - globalization, North-North relations, and North-South relations - to tie the text narrative and concepts together for students. Global Political Economy not only provides an in-depth look at major theoretical approaches but also is the only text available that applies these theoretical perspectives to issue areas. The text examines issues from an historical perspective, focusing on the idea that we can only understand the broader implications of issues by exploring them in a theoretical and historical context."--BOOK JACKET.
