Product Description
Review
Comments on the 1st edition: 'Comprehensive, theoretically sophisticated, and empirically rich. Right now, this is quite simply the best textbook in the field.' - Craig N. Murphy, Wellesley College and President, International Studies Association 2001/2 'A well-pitched, concise and accessible introduction to the fast-changing field of international political economy. Studies will be engaged by the authors' judicious blend of theory, history, and contemporary evidence.' - Louis W. Pauly, Director for International Studies, University of Toronto 'This is an excellent book... comprehensive in its approach, informative but highly original, presenting a pertinent and well sustained argument.' - Rodica Milena Zaharia, The European Legacy
Product Description
This popular and successful text provides a comprehensive introduction to the global political economy of today, set in a broad historical context. It introduces an unusually wide range of theoretical approaches and highlights how useful they are in tackling key issues - from trade, production and finance to social divisions, development and the environment. The second edition has been revised and updated throughout with the addition of additional chapters on gender, on ideas, and on key current issues and debates.

GPE and its importance to the world
8 May 2008
Format:Paperback
This book is great and very reader-friendly. It explains key concepts as it relates to the GPE. I have been able to focus on the true meaning of it and it has somewhat peaked my interest to doing additional research on the GPE. I am from the Caribbean and as such, we see things on a smaller scale but one must say that in light of the book, it has placed things in a greater perspective and it has helped me to see exactly how the Caribbean fits into the global political economy.

Turgid, Painful Read
21 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
This is a truly painful read. What is presented in 400+ pages could be far more clearly elucidated in as few as 80. Inevitably, the various topics covered in the book (such as the financial system, economic development, the environment, division of labour, gender concerns, transnational production, etc.) overlap one another. However, that does not excuse the degree of repitition in the text as the authors turn from one topic to the next. And then, they are in the habit of expounding amply upon simple concepts but little if at all upon those more opaque. And, where they have little to say of any purpose, they simply digress, obfuscate, fill and pad with turgid prose.
