Offering an accessible introduction to both the historical roots and the contemporary dynamics of today’s world economy, this seventh edition equips students with the knowledge required to make sense of the fast-paced discipline of the global political economy. Illustrating the breadth of the subject, the authors show how the national and the international interact, while also placing an emphasis on the historical evolution of the world economy in order to appreciate the nuances of today’s economy structures. It gives students a firm grounding in both traditional and critical theories of global political economy.Tracing the global economy from its early origins through each phase of a shifting world order, the book takes a non-Eurocentric approach, covering both traditional elements of the global economy (such as trade and finance) while also addressing important contemporary areas of concern, including social inequality, cryptocurrencies, populism and protectionism.Reflecting the latest empirical and scholarly developments, this new edition offers:-A new chapter on race in the global economy, in dialogue with the growing body of postcolonial literature in the field-A new chapter on health and the global economy, examining the interactions between the economy and health, and discussing the ongoing implications of COVID-19 -Analysis of key contemporary challenges including sustainable development, environmental concerns and security issues-Extensive companion website resources for lecturers and students, including multiple choice questions, mock essay questions and examples, flashcards and chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides.This authoritative and accessible guide to the global political economy is the ideal companion for students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, taking politics, international relations, and related degrees.

This book argues that increasing engagement between international institutions and sectors of civil society is producing a new form of global governance. The authors investigate 'complex multilateralism' by studying the relationship between three multilateral economic institutions (the IMF, World Bank, and World Trade Organization), and three global social movements (environmental, labour and women's movements). They provide a rich comparative analysis of the institutional response to social movement pressure, tracing institutional change, policy modification and social movement tactics as they struggle to influence the rules and practices governing trade, finance and development regimes. The contest to shape global governance is increasingly being conducted upon a number of levels and amongst a diverse set of actors. Analysing a unique breadth of institutions and movements, this book charts an important part of that contest.

Feeding the Self brings together leading scholars, clinicians, and lived-experience authors to place self and identity at the heart of how we understand and promote recovery from anorexia nervosa (AN).Spanning developmental, social, cultural, and clinical lenses, the volume maps how identities are formed, threatened, and reclaimed within families and peer groups, under stigma and loneliness, across gender roles and gender identities, and in diverse cultural settings. The chapters examine the anorexic voice; self-conscious emotions; gender-role norms; transgender and non-binary experiences and gender-affirmative care; global and cross-cultural perspectives on body ideals, acculturation, and meaning; autism and identity in relation to AN; and the lived experience of AN, highlighting the role of narrative identity and hope. Clinical sections translate these insights into practice, covering a range of therapeutic appraoches (including psychodynamic, cognitive behaviour therapy for anorexia nervosa [CBT-AN], Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults [MANTRA], and Specialist Supportive Clinical Management [SSCM] approaches; compassion-focused therapy; body-neutral and functionality-based methods; and innovative approaches such as chairwork and VR-supported exposure).For clinicians, researchers, trainees, and policymakers, this book offers a rigorous yet compassionate reframing of AN: not merely as a set of symptoms, but as a lived experience shaped by stories, relationships, and identities - and, importantly, as a condition from which new and meaningful identities and lives can emerge.

This book analyses the regional complexes of climate security in the Pacific. Pacific Island States and Territories (PICTs) have long been cast as the frontline of climate change and placed within the grand architecture of global climate governance. The region provides compelling new insights into the ways climate change is constructed, governed, and shaped by (and in turn shapes), regional and global climate politics. By focusing on climate security as it is constructed in the Pacific and how this concept mobilises resources and shapes the implementation of climate finance, the book provides an up-to-date account of the way regional organizations in the Pacific have contributed to the search for solutions to the problem of climate insecurity. In the context of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris in 2015, the focus of this book on regional governance offers a concise and innovative account of climate politics in the prevailing global context and one with implications for the study of climate security in other regions, particularly in the developing world.
