Trade Review"Walter and Sen's Analyzing the Global Political Economy is more of an academic text than an assessment of the current crisis but it concisely explains the building blocks of the system and gives a historic and philosophical context to our understanding of its evolution and relevance in today's climate."--David Maguire, Shanghai Daily "[T]his is a useful textbook for an advanced student readership."--Edwin Van De Haar, Political Studies Review "[A]n excellent summation of the development and themes of economics-oriented IPE."--Matthew Lloyd-Cape, Acta Oeconomica
