Trade ReviewPraise for the First Edition:
'Global Political Economy
is sweeping in its coverage of the major sub-areas of IPE, as well as its treatment of leading contributions to the field. The analysis of the three leading theories and nine sub-areas is probing, thoughtful and impressively balanced. This book will be useful for intermediate and advanced undergraduate courses, graduate students, and public officials at all levels of governance' -- David Deese, Boston College, US
‘In a crowded textbook market, Reisman's Global Political Economy
stands out for its fresh heterodox perspective. Building outward from more conventional analytical approaches, Reisman offers unique insights into the interactions between economics and politics on the world stage. Accessible in style, the book is both instructive and provocative.’ -- Benjamin J. Cohen, University of California, Santa Barbara, US
