Configuring the World

I truly believe Griffiths new introduction in international political economy is unparalleled! It is amazing how different theoretical perspectives, together with their methodological approaches, are lucidly presented and supported by extraordinarily well-chosen cases examples. First rate; a masterpiece really! Anton Hemerijck, Professor of Institutional Policy Analysis, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and London School of Economics Written by a distinguished economic historian, this book offers a refreshing and insightful analysis of the relationship between more and less developed parts of the increasingly globalized international political economy. In clear prose, it reveals the technical foundations of how we know what know about international economic and power relations. Andrew Moravcsik, Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton University
