International Political Economy in Context
Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
International Political Economy in Context by Andrew C Sobel
Focuses on a micro approach to political economy that grounds policy choices in the competitive environments of domestic politics and decision-making processes.
“Instead of covering IPE from broad realist, liberal, critical, or whatever perspectives, Sobel takes one, very much up-to-date and non-paradigmatic rational choice perspective and uses it throughout the bookThis really is the way it should be done!” -- Tobias Hofmann
“Most other books leave the impression that political economy began in the 1980s, or are a morass of acronyms that most students will soon forget. International Political Economy in Context: Individual Choices, Global Effects is the one book that really renders effective treatments of the Big Ideas that shaped the political economy of the world over the past two centuries. Without that context one cannot possibly hope to understand what is happening today.” -- Mike Jasinski
“International Political Economy in Context’s strengths are its detailed, clear exposition. I read with delight the rather sophisticated analysis of difficult concepts like the balance of payments and the Bretton Woods meetings.” -- James Morrison
