"An extremely well written, lucid, and persuasive analysis of
international economic developments and their political
implications and results, solidly grounded in history."---Arthur I
Cyr, Orbis
"[A] scholarly, theoretical framework for examining how markets and
the policies of nation-states determine the way the world economy
functions."
*Booklist*
"Global Political Economy promises to be another classic and a
much-consulted addition to academic library bookshelves."
*Choice*
"Robert Gilpin has written an important book. . . . Although he
eschews polemics and writes in a low-key, analytical style, his
forceful points serve as a needed antidote to Thomas Friedman's The
Lexus and the Olive Tree and other facile works about the
subject."---Christopher Layne, The Atlantic Monthly
"In this magisterial study Gilpin. . . shows he is second to none
in his capacity to integrate political with economic analysis, and
illuminate our understanding of the world political economy with
historical and theoretical insights, devoid of the jargon that
characterizes much contemporary IPE literature. . . . Gilpin's is
an authoritative, but modest voice of common sense."---Martin
Rhodes, International Journal of Financial Economics
"Global Political Economy is an excellent book. It represents a
major and successful updating of The Political Economy of
International Relations. Any person interested in international
political economy can profit from reading it."---Jeffrey Hart,
Journal of Politics
