Understanding of the theories that underpin international political
economy (IPE), and their practical applications, is crucial to the
study of international relations, politics, development and
economics. This is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to
the field, with an engaging and coherent foundation to the subject.
It considers traditional and alternative approaches to IPE, and in
doing so elucidates key concepts, assumptions and the intellectual
and historical context in which they arose and developed. At all
times, it makes clear their relevance to issues from trade, finance
and government, to environment, technology, health, labour,
security, migration, development and culture. The book encourages
independent reflection and critical thinking through a range of
in-text guiding features. In addition, each chapter presents
theoretical analysis alongside contemporary issues, helping the
reader to relate to the real world of IPE and to better understand
how theory helps inform interpretation of it. New to this edition:
comprehensively updated to include key coverage of the post-2015
framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, the financial
crisis and international government responses - successful or
otherwise - to recent challenges; fully updated data, reflective
questions, recommended readings, concept and example boxes, and
illustrations; new chapters on health, migration and labour;
additional coverage of trade theories and key contemporary issues,
such as national versus human security, economic versus human
development and illegal networks in global trade.
