Making the International: Economic Interdependence and Political Order

A collaborative work between economists and political scientists, this textbook was designed to serve as part of Open University's international studies curriculum. The stated key aim of the text is "to combine the teaching of core theory in economic and political analysis with an exposure to a diversity of voices and standpoints." This aim is pursued in 15 chapters broadly dealing with trade and states; the formation of state policy; inequality and power; autonomy, sovereignty, and macroeconomic policy; and international collective action. Case material is drawn from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Distributed in the US by University of Michigan Press. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
