Description
In Global Political Economy and the Modern State System, Tobias ten-Brink contributes to an understanding of the modern state system, its conflicts, and its transformation.
In contrast to the political attractiveness of optimistic theoretical approaches to globalisation, this book demonstrates how an analytical approach rooted in Global Political Economy (GPE) helps to explain both the tendencies towards integration and towards rivalry in international relations.
