This text offers a rethinking of the field of international
political economy in an era of growing but uneven globalization.
Even as global integration advances, states play central roles as
partners with the largest of global firms, as the catalysts of
competitiveness and economic growth, as the creators of global
institutions, and in promoting and responding to global
interdependence. Indeed, the struggle for power and wealth within
and among states underscores the primacy of politics in
understanding current realities. At the same time, new issues and
actors complicate the global agenda as it expands to address the
environment, global health, and food security. By offering a clear
explanation of basic concepts, contextualizing the presentation of
theoretical debates, and placing current events in historical
context, International Political Economy ensures students a deep
understanding of how the global economy works and the ways in which
globalization affects their lives and those of people around the
world. Key Content and Features Engages debates over the reach and
significance of globalization. Examines the sources and
consequences of global financial instability. Explores the origins
and consequences of global inequality. Compares various strategies
of development and state roles in competitiveness. Discusses the
role of key international economic institutions. Considers the
impact of the rise of China on the global economy and the potential
for war and peace. Illustrates collective efforts to fight hunger,
disease, and environmental threats. Includes numerous graphs and
illustrations throughout and end of chapter discussion questions.
Links key concepts for each chapter to a glossary at the end of the
book. Provides a list of acronyms at the outset and annotated
further readings at the end of each chapter. Offers additional
resources on a web site related to the text, including a list of
links to IPE-related web pages.
