The Political Economy of International Relation( Robert Gilp

CampusHR

Introduction:Thorough scholarship and somewhat prescient,
This is an extremely pertinent book for the next millenium. It is also quite popular in policy circles inside the Beltway. It is an indeispensible text for all Americans concerned with the future of international trade and the ongoing pathologies of our current trade regimes and the power relations they sustain to the detriment of the vast majority of human beings and the planet. It is thorough and scholarly throughout. While it is best read with a cup of Joe on a rainy day, it is worth the time and pays rereading many times over in light of current events. It’s only shortcoming is it’s neglect of the ecological dimensions of international trade and politics, nevertheless, it is a book for all who care about the human future.
