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
