Description

An Introduction to International Political Economy Susan Strange, formerly University of Warwick. Professor Strange was well known for her unorthodox and stimulating views on the international political economy. Here she provides the student and scholar with a new model synthesising politics and economics by means of a four-faceted structural analysis of the effects of any kind of political authority (including states) on markets, and, conversely, of market forces on states. This refreshingly new framework of analysis is an ideal introductory text.

Reviews

In this book [Susan Strange] once again shows that her reputation for careful analysis and fresh insights is well deserved... a refreshing look at a much studied subject and should be read by every student of international political economy.' International Relations Theory. * Blurb from reviewer *
Students, and many of their teachers, will like the book because it gives a vigorous introduction to both the subject matter of IPE and the holistic cast of mind necessary for understanding it. One cannot read the book without having one's horizons broadened... it should occupy an opening slot on reading lists for IPE courses.' International Affairs. * Blurb from reviewer *
