Description: | The new edition of this comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field continues to provide an engaging and coherent foundation to the subject. It considers traditional and alternative approaches to IPE, and in doing so elucidates key concepts, assumptions and the intellectual and historical context in which they arose and developed. It includes key coverage of the post-2015 financial crisis and the international government responses to recent challenges as well as new learning material. At all times, it makes clear their relevance to issues from trade finance and government, to environment, technology, health, migration, labour, development and culture. Understanding of the theories that underpin international political economy (IPE), and their practical applications, is crucial to the study of international relations, politics, development and economics.
