Praise for the 8th Edition"Cohn and Hira again set the standard in
explaining the complex, evolving nature of the interaction between
politics and economics in the international system. They strike the
appropriate balance between our theories for understanding this
interaction and the contemporary context for understanding those
theories. The book is a must for students needing a solid,
thought-provoking primer in global political economy."--Robert
Ostergard Jr., University of Nevada Reno"This book adopts a unique
approach to the study of IPE by incorporating theoretical
perspectives into discussions of various current events, bridging
abstract concepts with real-world issues. It is one of the most
comprehensive textbooks on the subject and a must-read for anyone
who wants to gain a deeper understanding of global political
economy."-- Feng Sun, Troy UniversityPraise for Previous EditionsI
have been using this wonderful text for the last few years for my
upper division undergraduate course on Politics of the World
Economy. This new edition brings all of the burning issues right up
to date: the weight of China in the IPE, the immigration crisis in
Africa and the Middle East, and the shift from multilateral to
regional trade schemes. Global Political Economy gracefully weaves
together theory and practice, and it strikes a perfect balance
between institutions, interests and actors. I look forward to
assigning this next edition.-- Carol Wise, University of Southern
CaliforniaWith this new edition, Ted Cohn reaffirms his book's
place among the very best texts available in the field of
international political economy -- well organized, articulate, and
certainly up to date. Students will find it both enlightening and
refreshing.-- Benjamin J. Cohen, University of California, Santa
BarbaraCohn continues to produce an excellent textbook; I wouldn’t
think of using another. Among textbook authors, only Cohn
consistently returns to the theories in each empirical chapter,
driving home how the lenses we use shape our understanding of the
global political economy.-- Kathleen J. Hancock, Colorado School of
MinesThe seventh edition of Global Political Economy: Theory and
Practice is a fully updated, comprehensive textbook that builds on
the strengths of the earlier editions but has been updated with a
discussion of the ongoing global economic crisis. It contains both
an excellent discussion of theoretical debates as well as the main
issue areas. Issues are explained in plain language for an easy
understanding for university students. This book is an excellent
text for courses on international political economy and the like.--
