Global Political Economy

With expected revisions and updates, this well-regarded textbook continues to provide accessible, authoritative and wide-ranging coverage of GPE that importantly features historically informed studies. And beyond expectations, the 7th edition delivers an exceptional contribution by addressing the fraught terrain of rapidly changing - indeed, field-transforming - socio-cultural, technological and political developments. The latter confound conventional approaches, but they confront our students and must be engaged. Highly recommended; even the glossary is exceptional!

What constitutes the Global Political Economy? In whose interest is GPE constructed, and by whom? How can inequalities in GPE best be redressed? These are some of the key questions addressed in the 7th edition of this highly regarded textbook. As an ever-evolving field, subject to constant changes and developments, Global Political Economy provides a comprehensive introduction to GPE written by leading experts in the field. Under the direction of new editor Prof. Erin Hannah, the 7th edition surveys major contemporary issues and debates in GPE while being attuned to silences, marginalizations, and exclusions. By integrating a wide range of theoretical approaches, rich empirical material, non-western viewpoints and diversity of contributors, the 7th edition provides enhanced coverage of the central axes of inequality in GPE and centers topics such as colonialism, race, gender, North-South divides and everyday life.
