Praised for its authoritative coverage, Global Political Economy places the study of IPE in its broadest theoretical context. This text not only helps students understand the fundamentals of how the global economy works but also encourages them to use theory to more fully grasp the connections between key issue areas like trade and development. Written by a leading IPE scholar, Global Political Economy equally emphasizes theory and practice to provide a framework for analyzing current events and long-term developments in the global economy. “This book provides a comprehensive introduction to international political economy in a way that is accessible to students and yet sophisticated enough to ground students in the rich and growing literature on the subject. Cohn leaves no stone unturned in his review of the principles, events, and debates central to the field.”–Robert A. Dayley, Albertson College of Idaho
