International Political Economy: Interests and Institutions in the Global Economy: United States Edition - Tapa blanda

Emphasizing both domestic and international politics as well as fundamental economic principles, International Political Economy is the most accessible and holistic overview of the global economy. This text offers students a uniquely engaging introduction to IPE by viewing global economic exchange as a political competition. While surveying key IPE theories, economic principles, institutions, and processes, the text explains how this competition raises social welfare but also creates winners and losers who influence the policies of governments and international institutions and ultimately the global economy.

Thomas Oatley is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
