Global Political Economy places the study of IPE in broad theoretical context, equally emphasizing theory and practice to provide a framework for analyzing current events and long-term developments in the global economy.

Andy Hira updates this essential book and the related instructor and student resources, to cover recent global developments and shifts in scholarship.

• Provides an economics primer on how markets, interest, and exchange rates work, comparative advantage, and monetary and fiscal policy; and material on getting a job in political economy.

• Includes the basic tenets of realism.

• Expands coverage on China, including on bipolarity/U.S. relations, security-economic tradeoffs, Taiwan, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the failure of TPP.

• Discusses Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and builds on the material on sanctions.

Reviews for Global Political Economy: Theory and Practice

“I’m delighted to see a new edition of this superb textbook which has long been one of the best teaching tools for instructors of introductory GPE courses. Its accessibility and excellent combination of theory and issue-area coverage have always made it stand out, and this version is even better than the last. Highly recommended!” Eric Helleiner, University of Waterloo “This textbook is a fantastic resource for IPE students, providing them with crucial theoretical and empirical insights for analysing an everchanging global political economy. This latest edition contains a variety of new perspectives and material – including a non-technical introduction to economics, China’s growing importance in the world economy and the impact of increasing geopolitical tensions – that are crucial for helping students to gain a better understanding of contemporary issues, developments and challenges.” Johannes Petry, Goethe University Frankfurt
