TEXTBOOK

International Political Economy Contrasting World Views Raymond C. Miller, San Francisco State University, USA ‘A landmark book by one of the most prominent scholars on political economy, International Political Economy is a must-read.’ – William H. Newell, Executive Director, Association for Integrative Studies & Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, USA ‘Ray Miller carefully outlines three competing visions of international political economy. No other text in the field comes close to providing such a detailed and even-handed treatment of these three visions. Students using this text should thus be able to choose among these perspectives on their merits, and indeed integrate elements of each in order to generate a more holistic and nuanced understanding of IPE.’ – Rick Szostak, Professor of Economics, University of Alberta, Canada

‘This is a textbook that will be appreciated by both teachers and students of international political economy, "unpacking" the assumptions that underlie major schools of thought in IPE and explaining how these connect to their analyses and policy prescriptions. Its full discussion of Keynesian perspectives, as well as its treatment of vital global environmental issues and critical "green IPE" perspectives - make it an excellent choice for undergraduate courses.’ – Glenn Fieldman, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies, San Francisco State University, USA This textbook is the perfect short introduction to the fundamental theories and issues of international political economy (IPE). It equips students with the necessary skills and knowledge to understand this complex and fascinating area. Engaging with both classical theories and the main contemporary debates, this is the ideal starting point for the study of IPE for students of international political economy, global governance and international economics.
