In an era of post-globalization, the global political economy needs restructuring. This textbook examines the challenges facing the world economy as a result of climate change and social and economic inequality, and provides future-oriented solutions to them. Andersson presents and explains key concepts from Global Political Economy to show how to design and analyse potential reconstructions of the economic system.
With a comprehensive exploration of the different ideological pathways that change might take, and taking account of gender, race and class, the author expertly guides the reader through thematic chapters, including:
• the political economy of everyday life;
• the regulation of global trade;
• post-development;
• the production of global value chains;
• financial markets.
This book will help readers see that global economic change is possible and support clear thinking about a global future that is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.
