Balaam and Bradford Dillman, presents core theories and structures shaping international economic relations. The brief contents organize perspectives on liberal, mercantilist, structuralist, and alternative approaches, then explore production and trade, monetary and finance, international debt and crises, global security, and knowledge and technology. Subsequent sections analyze states and markets in development, regional integration, rising powers, and Middle East dynamics, followed by transnational problems including illicit global economy, migration, multinational corporations, food and hunger, energy resources, and environment.","Introduction to International Political Economy  \nSixth Edition  \nDavid N.
