The Politics of International Economic Relations

by Joan Edelman Spero, Jeffrey A. Hart

The first book to give students the breadth and depth of scholarship they need to understand the politics of the world economy, THE POLITICS OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC RELATIONS has been fully updated to reflect the sweeping changes that continue to reshape the international arena. This Sixth Edition strengthens the text's contemporary coverage of political and economic relations, economic polarization in developing nations, and the roots of economic decline in centrally planned economies. Its new emphasis on the impact of economic globalization makes this definitive text ideal for use as a core text for the International Political Economy course, or as a supplement in the International Relations course.

Read it in grad school...d-u-l-l.

La economía política internacional por la superficie, es bien fácil de querer entenderla. El juego de estas dos disciplinas en una sola, le quita lo sencillo a los liberales. Y es válida la afirmación de "Nunca será estática ni dicha, pues la evolución permanente de las instituciones y la creación de nuevos instrumentos y transacciones no lo permiten". Es posible la nueva construcción de un orden económico internacional, que inicia desde un acuerdo preferencial. Los grados de integración, dan la nueva luz verde al sur y le apuestan a este; se espera sean objetivos independientemente de sus actores y jugar entonces con el centro.

Solid. It has everything an undergraduate wants and needs to know about economic and political relations. Provided with lots of cases and examples so it's a fairly easy read, too.

* Perhaps not really 'easy read' but I've had worse.

General reading.

Grad school reading for IPE. Dry? Yes. Fairly decent and generalised overview of IPE within a historical context? Yes.

Three stars.

Probably one of the drier textbooks I had in my political science courses.
