International Political Economy - Softcover

The second edition of International Political Economy is the only available collection of readings on the politics of international economic relations, covering all the major issues in the field. The book introduces students to the three major analytic traditions of international political economy - liberalism, Marxism, and realism - and demonstrates how major theorists have developed and refined their ideas to accommodate changes in domestic and international political and economic affairs. Features of the new edition include: most of the articles in the current volume are recent - almost all were originally published after 1985; both the readings and the editorial introductions reflect recent theoretical advances; readings have been revised and expanded with a fully international audience in mind; the section on current events has been expanded to encompass a broader range of issues, to meet the interests of a more international audience.
