Critic Reviews
“I’m delighted to see a new edition of this superb textbook which has long been one of the best teaching tools for instructors of introductory GPE courses. Its accessibility and excellent combination of theory and issue-area coverage have always made it stand out, and this version is even better than the last. Highly recommended!”
Eric Helleiner, University of Waterloo
“This textbook is a fantastic resource for IPE students, providing them with crucial theoretical and empirical insights for analysing an everchanging global political economy. This latest edition contains a variety of new perspectives and material – including a non-technical introduction to economics, China’s growing importance in the world economy, and the impact of increasing geopolitical tensions – that are crucial for helping students to gain a better understanding of contemporary issues, developments, and challenges.”
Johannes Petry, Goethe University Frankfurt
