INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMY AND GLOBALIZATION
(2nd Edition)

by S Javed Maswood (Griffith University, Australia)

The second edition of International Political Economy and Globalization is completely revised and updated to include new material on trade, monetary, and environmental issues. It provides a comprehensive treatment of major developments in the global economy and is suitable for adoption as a primer in undergraduate courses in international political economy. The author takes a stand that is supportive of globalization in principle, while acknowledging that there are many areas of inequity that disadvantage developing countries. This is explored in chapters that deal with trade, debt crises, and the environment. Students will find that the material is presented in a readable format that does not presuppose prior familiarity with economics.

  • International Trade
  • International Monetary Relations
  • International Debt Crises
  • Russia, China and India in the Global Economy
  • Political Economy of Foreign Direct Investments
