Global Political Economy

Dr Huw Macartney, University of Birmingham Review from previous edition 'Ravenhill's Global Political Economy is extremely accessible and the quality of the analysis is superb. Most importantly, though, it helps students to unpack big claims.'

Professor Benjamin Cohen, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA 'This text just keeps getting better and better. The coverage is comprehensive, thoroughly revised to keep up with contemporary developments, and the quality of the scholarship is uniformly high. Students could not ask for a more incisive and thoughful introduction to the study of global political economy.'

Dr Kelly Gerard, University of Western Australia 'Global Political Economy is balanced in its presentation of debates, and rigorous in its arguments, providing an excellent guide for students in understanding international political economy.'

Dr Iain Hardie, The University of Edinburgh, UK Without a doubt, this is the leading textbook for any student of global political economy. Ravenhill brings together many of the leading scholars in an unrivaled collection.

Professor Randall Germain, Carleton University, Canada This edition continues to provide students with the most comprehensive introduction to global political economy on the market, bar none. I value its thoroughness, clarity, and the balance it strikes between theory and practice.
