Book Description:
More than four decades have passed since the publication of Susan Strange’s germinal article “International Relations and International Economics”, which launched the contemporary study of international political economy (IPE). Much progress has been made in the field in the intervening decades. We have a good understanding of the role of interests, ideas and institutions in the making of economic policy. We know the circumstances that make it more likely that states will comply with their international obligations and the reasons that some international institutions are more effective than others. An enormous literature on globalisation has aided our comprehension of this multi-faceted phenomenon and its impact on peoples’ lives across the globe. Even for those most important yet most difficult questions on what makes for successful economic development and what strategies are most effective in alleviating poverty, our knowledge is much more sophisticated than it was when Susan Strange’s article was published.
