SynopsisThe Asian economic crisis, the Russian economic crisis, deepening European integration, the wildly fluctuating stock markets around the world, and rapid changes in technology all signal that the unprecedented change in the global economic order that characterized the 1990s will continue. What do these changes mean for the global economic order as we enter the new millennium? In thirty-three original, specially commissioned chapters, scholars from around the world provide an authoritative introduction to current and future trends in the theory and practice of international economic relations. Just as in the first edition of Political Economy and the Changing Global Order, each chapter is written with the student in mind. For this second edition, twenty-five of the chapters are new and the majority of the others have been substantially revised. The concise, provocative arguments cover a wide range of issues at the global and regional levels, as well as the way in which a variety of state and non-state actors are responding to the force of globalization. A broad variety of theoretical perspectives is set out, and students are encouraged to examine the many different perspectives on the changing global economy., Designed to introduce students to a broad range of perspectives on the rapidly changing field of international political economy, this text features 34 specially commissioned chapters written by prominent IPE scholars from around the world. This third edition of Political Economy and the Changing Global Order offers a critical assessment of the contemporary discipline and includes a number of new articles on emerging areas of IPE, such as gender, security, environmentalism, crime, and the role of the Internet. As well, all articles from the previous edition have been updated and revised to reflect the growing tensions among globalization, regionalism, and national interests. Every chapter includes a list of suggested readings and, where appropriate, key websites, and each of the book's four sections opens with an informative introduction. Comprehensive, up to date, and thoroughly global in its focus, Political Economy and the Changing Global Order is an essential text for students of international and comparative economy. Book jacket., 'How will global order unfold as we move into the next millennium?' With this basic question as a starting point, leading scholars in politics, economics, and international relations from ten different countries have written 33 chapters specially commissioned for this new second edition, which also includes introductory essays by the editors. Rapid change has become the norm in the international political economy. The relatively strong and surprisingly sustained performance of the North American economies, the growing economic integration of the European Union, and the economic crises in Asia and Russia all attest to the increasing pace and apparent unpredictability of changes to the global economy. Political Economy and the Changing Global Order provides an authoritative introduction to these changes and to the theory and changing practice of international economic relations as the world enters the new millennium. The book ranges widely, covering developments at global, regional, and national levels, key issues and trends, and the changing policies of major state actors, as well as presenting a broad spectrum of theoretical perspectives. Particular emphasis is given to the role of the state in the international political economy, the increasing importance of non-state actors, and the growing influence of both public and private forms of transnational governance., The Asian economic crisis, the Russian economic crisis, deepening European integration, the wildly fluctuating stock markets around the world, and rapid changes in technology all signal that the unprecedented change in the global economic order that characterized the 1990s will continue. What do these changes mean for the global economic order as we enter the new millennium?
