Centered around key topics and debates, Global Political Economy encourages students new to the field to explore its breadth and diversity, and understand how to approach and answer the big questions that matter today. Written by scholars from around the world, this text reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the field by addressing essential topics and themes including poverty, labor, migration, and the environment.
Each chapter includes a unique "Roundtable" feature, in which a diverse range of scholars consider a key question, introducing students to the dialogue between academics on core issues, and the interplay and value of different opinions and perspectives. The "Over to You" element invites readers to consider the persuasiveness of the arguments, reflect upon their own perspectives, and become active participants in the debate. With a strong emphasis on "globalizing" the study of GPE, this textbook introduces to students the idea that it matters who is talking and writing, that there are different ways of seeing the world, and that bringing together different theoretical and methodological perspectives adds to the depth and richness of their understanding.Author Biography
