The Political Economy of Globalization

Looking at issues arising from a political economy perspective on globalization and development, this text emphasizes such issues as erosion of national sovereignty, the implications of globalization for class relations and development, gender equity, increasing tensions between North and South, and changes in the roles of international institutions, labour organizations, nation-states, and non-governmental organizations. This edited volume should provide valuable insights and important background analysis for scholars working in the field of globalization as well as senior undergraduate and graduate students in a variety of curricula, including economics, development studies, political science, international relations and international business.
