Synopsis

Since the first edition was published in 1977 this text has been revised and updated. Much has happened to bring together the disciplines of international politics and international economics. Turbulence in the world economy has obliged scholars to re-examine the assumptions that had separated their disciplines for a century. This book aims to be a clear and concise guide to the increasingly important field of international political economy that has emerged.

About this title

Review:

"The book does a fantastic job of explaining the negotiations and subsequent institutions that emerged in the post 1945 era."
