Global Political Economy Summary

Global Political Economy by Nicola Phillips (Provost at the University of Melbourne)

Centred 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, the textbook reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the field by addressing essential topics and themes, such as poverty, labour, 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 the reader to consider the persuasiveness of the arguments, reflect upon their own perspective, and become an active participant in the debate. With a strong emphasis on 'globalising' the study of GPE, the 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. Digital formats and resources Global Political Economy is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported by a range of online resources. The e-book offers a mobile experience and convenient access: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks

Global Political Economy Reviews

Provoking and highly readable: this book is just what every student and teacher of Global Political Economy needs. Global Political Economy offers a detailed and accessible understanding of the theoretical and empirical foundations of the field, while also showing the reader how such foundations can be ripped up, debated, and revisited. I wish I had this book when I was a student. * Professor Sophie Harman, Queen Mary University of London, UK *
We have here a fresh and innovative approach to the subject of Global Political Economy. The chapters reflect the field in its full scale and complexity, but do so with admirable clarity and exuberant writing. Phillips has brought together a genuinely diverse group of scholars who have taken to heart the goals of their editor to bring a fascinating subject to life in a compelling and authoritative manner. This volume is the new benchmark. * Professor Randall Germain, Carleton University *
Global Political Economy edited by Nicola Phillips is an impressive study and fills an important gap in the literature. The thematic approach based on the contributions of well-known scholars of political economy will be particularly useful to students. I certainly plan to use it as the principal text in my core course on Global Political Economy and would strongly recommend it to colleagues who teach similar courses. * Ziya OEnis, Professor of International Political Economy, Koc University, Istanbul, Turkey *
Innovative, inspiring, and informative in equal measure, this carefully-crafted and thought-provoking textbook provides a wonderful introduction - and warm welcome - to the fascinating field of GPE. Highly engaging and accessible, it stands as an invaluable resource for students and educators alike. * Elizabeth Thurbon, Scientia Associate Professor of International Political Economy, UNSW Sydney *
This volume provides a great multi-disciplinary approach to the study of Global Political Economy. The various viewpoints will help students navigate the most pressing issues in today's world. * Dr. Patrick Shea, University of Glasgow, UK *
A welcome focus on the broader social, racial, cultural, and gendered ramifications of political and economic decisions and actions. * Dr. Michael Toomey, University of Glasgow, Scotland *
An essential resource and a must-have book for students of Global Political Economy. * Dr Michael Breen, Dublin City University, Ireland *
With an accessible dissection of pertinent debates in GPE, this book successfully manages to bridge diverse GPE traditions, including both traditional frameworks and critical-reflective perspectives. Through case studies and roundtable debates, the book inspires theoretically-informed discussions while providing insight into concrete policy problems. * Dr Matthew Eagleton-Pierce, SOAS University of London, UK *
