Praise for the Sixth Edition Thomas Oatley's International Political Economy provides essential background to the interplay of economic behavior and political institutions. It takes seriously the role that economics plays in defining the interests of political actors but also introduces the student to the operation of institutions that govern international trade and finance. In plain language, it describes essential principles of economics and the role that political actors play in governing and negotiating the international political economy. Paul Rowe, Trinity Western University This is, hands down, the single best textbook I have used for any class in more than two decades of university teaching. It achieves that difficult and elusive goal of conveying complex material at a high level while also making it very accessible and understandable. The result is an invaluable IPE text that brings the students up to the level of the material rather than the reverse. Strom Thacker, Union College Oatley's IPE textbook is simply the best of its kind. It is comprehensive, analytically rigorous, and thoughtfully written for students with no previous background in the field. This latest edition contains a variety of fresh material - on Trump, Brexit, China, migration, and other topics - to keep students and instructors excited about the field. David A.

Crucially for a textbook, it finds the right balance between theory and context.

Added to this, students will find it full of engaging real world examples that bring the subject to life. It should be considered as a standard text for all IPE courses at undergraduate level. Michael Breen, European University Institute & Dublin City University Thomas Oatley succeeds in writing an international political economy text that political science students will find accessible and economics students will find interesting.

Robert G. Blanton, University of Alabama-Birmingham This approachable, accessible new edition of Thomas Oatley's text lays out the foundations of IPE.

Michael Plouffe, University College London Expertly bridging the disciplines of economics and political science, Thomas Oatley's book has inspired, disciplined, and transformed a new generation of scholars and students. With a simple and effective presentation of challenging material, this new sixth edition keeps up not only with the latest developments in IPE but also the very recent changes taking place in the real world. A new chapter on the achievements and challenges to the global capitalist economy provides excellent insight into the causes of the recent emergence of anti-globalization sentiments, once again in a way that is both clear and eye-opening for students.
