This timely book will explain, via a number of thematic and case
studies, that international economics is not an independent terrain
of economic activity reproducing itself throughout history, but a
complex articulation of social, political and culturally determined
actions that are inextricably linked. Chapters will address the
role of dominant global powers in the making of global industrial
and monetary relations, and, in particular, ways in which, and the
degrees to which dominant economic and military powers, such as the
USA, tend to shape the domestic economic environments of lesser
powers after their own image. Supplementing the chapters will be a
comprehensive A - Z glossary section, which will include key
International Political Economy terms, e.g. international debt,
European free trade area, International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development, IMF, GATT-WTO, Foreign exchange, fixed exchange rates,
floating exchange rates, reserve currency, gold-dollar parity,
multinational corporation, preferential trade agreement, hedge
funds, etc. Entries will be cross-referenced for ease of use. This
book will be ideal for researchers and students in the areas of
politics, international relations and international economics, as
well as for academics, economists, business people, and those with
an interest in the workings of international political economy.
This book examines the political economy of conflict between China,
a rising power, and the USA, a declining one. It provides an
informed analysis as to why China is the main beneficiary of
neo-liberal globalisation, a project launched in the wake of the
collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the late 1960s under the
aegis of the USA. Why are Huawei and other Chinese high-tech giants
targeted by the USA and its allies? What is the role of the state
and the Chinese political system in the development of China's
political economy, as well as its globalisation? Does China's
global rise provide a viable and sustainable alternative to
neo-liberal globalisation? Since American leaders view increasingly
the rise of China as a threat, how likely is an armed conflict
between China and the USA? This book answers these questions by
using a wealth of empirical material and debating with many
theoretical schools of thought, Marxist or otherwise.
