This product accompanies:
Oatley,  International Political Economy, 4/E

Examines IPE through a unifying theme of winners and losers to explain current developments in the global economy.

Includes non-technical treatment of fundamental economic principles (comparative advantage, balance of payment adjustments, exchange rate systems, etc.) to help students more effectively study IPE.

Uniquely focuses on domestic politics and institutions and their role in the global economy.

Covers the politics of economic development in four chapters–the most coverage in any IPE survey.

“Closer Look” boxes offer in-depth explorations of current trends and events in the global economy and global economic institutions.

“Policy Analysis and Debate” boxes present multiple perspectives on key IPE issues and encourage students to critically examine the international economic system.

Concludes with the debate over globalization, which draws on current research to encourage students to understand the debate’s central issues and to place them in the broader context of IPE.

Key terms, web links, suggestions for further readings in every chapter allow students to delve deeper into topics.

• Expanded coverage of China and India illustrates in greater depth the role these two large countries play in the global economy.
  

• Expanded historical coverage places contemporary globalization in a broader context.

• Updated coverage and analysis of current events, including the Doha round, developing country debt and debt forgiveness, TRIPs, sweatshops, the United States’ current account imbalance, and IMF reform.

  Broadly viewing the global economy as a political competition that produces winners and losers, International Political Economy holistically and accessibly introduces the field of IPE to students with limited background in political theory, history, and economics.

   

  This text surveys major interests and institutions and examines how state and non-state actors pursue wealth and power. Emphasizing fundamental economic concepts as well as the interplay between domestic and international politics, International Political Economy not only explains how the global economy works; it also encourages students to think critically about how economic policy is made in the context of globalization.

  Also by Thomas Oatley

  Debates in International Political Economy organizes writings by leading scholars and practitioners into debates on current global economic issues. Balancing how international controversies are talked about in academic literature and in the news, this reader helps students take a position on economic affairs that affect their lives.

Thomas Oatley is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research and writing focuses on the intersection between international and comparative political economy and how the interaction between economic interests and political institutions shapes governments’ foreign economic policy choices.
