Geopolitical Economy is an important contribution to the politics of international economic relations. It is based on superb empirical work on the politics of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) between South Korea and each of the three major global economic powers: the United States, the European Union and China. Krieckhaus provides new compelling insights on the politics underlying FTAs, which is valuable to students of International Political Economy."" - Bumba Mukherjee, Pennsylvania State University
