内容説明

This exciting new introduction to international political economy focuses on three major themes or challenges in the post-Cold War period-globalization, North-North relations and North-South relations-to tie the text narrative and concepts together for students. It provides an in-depth look at the main IPE theoretical approaches and also examines IPE issues in a historical perspective, focusing on the idea that we can only understand the broader implications of IPE issues by exploring them in a theoretical and historical context.
