                        International Political Economy: Contrasting world views is a major new 
                        introductory textbook for students of International Political Economy that 
                        combines theoretical perspectives, real-world examples, and comparative 
                        policy analysis. Written by an experienced teacher and scholar, the text 
                        is  intended  to  give  students  an  in-depth  understanding  of  the  core 
                        perspectives in International Political Economy, which will allow them to 
                        critically evaluate and independently analyze major political and economic 
                        events.
                          Features and benefits of the text:
                        •	  It is organized around the three major perspectives in the field: free 
                            market, institutionalist, and historical materialist.
                        •	  Each perspective is developed thoroughly via the presentation of its 
                            unique thought model, its world view, and its application to real-world 
                            problems. 
                        •	  It compares and contrasts different analytical and policy approaches 
                            to a wide range of core issues such as trade, finance, transnational 
                            corporations, development, and environmental sustainability.
                        •	  It explains the role of key thinkers in the field, from Adam Smith, Karl 
                            Marx, David Ricardo, and Thorstein Veblen to John Kenneth Galbraith, 
                            John Maynard Keynes, Milton Friedman, and Susan Strange.
                        •	  It contains boxed biographies, graphics, review questions, suggestions 
                            for  further  reading,  and  a  detailed  glossary  to  enhance  student 
                            learning.
