Review Are you looking for a highly accessible and comprehensive introduction to international political economy? Go no further. From its first to its current edition, Global Political Economy by OBrien and Williams has provided a fantastic resource, covering the most important theories as well as empirical topics in an extremely engaging way. * Andreas Bieler, University of Nottingham, UK *OBrien and Williams sixth edition of this highly regarded textbook continues to deliver. It is by far the most accessible undergraduate textbook on global political economy, with simple explanations of complex phenomena and relevant real-world examples. The authors continue to do an excellent job of balancing rigor with accessibility. * Kelly Gerard, University of Western Australia, Australia *OBrien and Williams have written one of the most thorough and well-balanced introductions to IPE on the market. This updated edition provides students with an unsurpassed resource for learning about our subject, and will be of value to them throughout their studies. Please use it! * Randall Germain, Carleton University, Canada *As a lecturer with a very interdisciplinary student profile (from Business Schools, Development Studies, Politics, Philosophy and International Relations) OBrien and Williams Global Political Economy offers the solid foundational guide that brings them all on to the same page. This excellent textbook permits me to build on common knowledge obtained through student reading, and to then push analysis through further reading. * Elizabeth Cobbett, University of East Anglia, UK *No other textbook introduces students to the scope and diversity of thought that OBrien and Williams present. This book stays true to the interdisciplinary founding spirit of GPE, providing a diverse toolkit for readers to lay a foundation for a deep understanding of "how the world works" and how it may change. * Peter Beattie, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong *Global Political Economy is a mainstay reference in IR teaching, and OBrien and Williams manage to keep it remarkably relevant and useful in this sixth edition. Their combination of history, theoretical foundations and current themes continues to guide readers to a profound understanding of the subject. * Erik Andersson, University of Gothenburg, Sweden *Global Political Economy by OBrien and Williams is the core textbook on my second-year GPE module. It provides an accessible introduction to the theoretical perspectives on GPE, the evolution of the global economy and key issues in GPE. The new version builds on and updates the previous version to include key developments in GPE such as the growth in trade protectionism and the impact of blockchain and AI, as well as new and updated information boxes on key issues, ensuring that it will continue to be an essential resource for students. * Helen Hawthorne, Middlesex University, UK *I have successfully used earlier editions of this engaging book in my introductory IPE courses. This new edition takes account of key developments in the world and in the field without losing a distinctive historical and conceptual perspective. Students will find it comprehensive and accessible. * Louis W. Pauly, University of Toronto, Canada *I am very excited to see the new edition. The most comprehensive, theoretically-balanced, historically-grounded and policy-relevant IPE text currently available now includes the most important new developments in the world economy. * Anna Lanoszka, University of Windsor, Canada *Now in its sixth edition, this comprehensive textbook has stood the test of time. It provides historical and theoretical context for a wide range of issues and debates in international political economy and the most recent edition offers much-needed perspective on unfolding developments, ranging from the rise of economic nationalism, the globalisation of state capitalism, rapid technological change and climate change. * Lauge Poulsen, University College, London, UK *The updated edition of OBrien & Williams absolutely delivers on its promise. My students will enjoy the books clear language, and will find its renewed emphasis on contemporary controversies to be highly engaging, practical and informative. Global Political Economy deserves to be the standard introduction to this growing field. * Adam Sneyd, University of Guelph, Canada * Promotional Illustrating the breadth of the subject, this accessible introduction to the world economy traces the global economy from the Industrial Revolution up to the present day, including coverage of: trade, production, finance, labour, gender, development, the environment, security and governance.
