After the end of World War II, the United States, by far the dominant economic and military power at that time, joined with the surviving capitalist democracies to create an unprecedented institutional framework. By the 1980s many contended that these institutions - the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (now the World Trade Organization), the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund - were threatened by growing economic nationalism in the United States, as demonstrated by increased trade protection and growing budget deficits. In this book, Robert Gilpin argues that American power had been essential for establishing these institutions, and waning American support threatened the basis of postwar cooperation and the great prosperity of the period. For Gilpin, a great power such as the United States is essential to fostering international cooperation. Exploring the relationship between politics and economics first highlighted by Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and other thinkers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Gilpin demonstrated the close ties between politics and economics in international relations, outlining the key role played by the creative use of power in the support of an institutional framework that created a world economy. Gilpin's exposition of the influence of politics on the international economy was a model of clarity, making the book the centerpiece of many courses in international political economy. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, when American support for international cooperation is once again in question, Gilpin's warnings about the risks of American unilateralism sound ever clearer.

《西方国际政治经济学》（第2版）不只是事实和数据的充实更新，更主要的是对结构体系、观点和内容以及编排等方面大幅度的调整和充实。与原著相比，《西方国际政治经济学》(第2版)具有以下特点：理论体系架构的完整性和鲜明性；理论与事实的结合；多学科的融合。

随着中国不断融入世界体系，中国学术界迫切需要更多的既能反映国际学术界前沿动态，又能体现“中国视角”的国际政治经济学著作和教材。 本书主要有如下四个特点： 第一，构建一个相对完整的知识框架。本书基于定义与研究议题、要素流动与单位层次、规范分析与实证分析以及国际体系与中国经验四种关联性，力图为学生们提供一个相对完整的国际政治经济学知识框架。 第二，追踪国际学术界前沿动态。根据国际政治经济学的研究议题和分析方法，作者将过去40年从事国际政治经济学研究的学者们分为“两代”，系统总结了 20世纪70—80年代“第一代”学者提出的五大理论（相互依存论、霸权稳定论、国家主义理论、依附论和世界体系论），分析了20世纪90年代以来“第二代”学者在核心概念和分析方法上变革的总体趋向。 第三，分析全球政治经济的结构与动力。本书从世界体系与国家兴衰的关系入手，对促使全球政治经济延续 500年的结构和动力进行了总结，并对其在当代的主要表现形式（国际货币、国际贸易、跨国投资、发展与转型以及地区主义）进行了具体的分析。 第四，体现 “中国视角”。国际政治经济学虽然起源于美国和欧洲学术界，但这并不意味着美国和欧洲国家之外的学者只能是知识的消费者。在作者看来，中国学者要成为知识的生产者也许有许多路径，但立足于中国的现实经验，特别是中国过去30年融入世界经济的成功经验进行研究，是成为国际政治经济学领域知识生产者的一个重要途径。

The field of international political economy gained prominence in the early 1970s--when the Arab oil embargo and other crises ended the postwar era of virtually unhindered economic growth in the United States and Europe--and today is an essential part of both political science and economics. This book offers the first comprehensive examination of this important field's development, the contrasting worldviews of its American and British schools, and the different ways scholars have sought to meet the challenges posed by an ever more complex and interdependent world economy. Benjamin Cohen explains the critical role played by the early "intellectual entrepreneurs," a generation of pioneering scholars determined to bridge the gap between international economics and international politics. Among them were brilliant thinkers like Robert Keohane, Susan Strange, and others whose legacies endure to the present day. Cohen shows how their personalities and the historical contexts in which they worked influenced how the field evolved. He examines the distinctly different insights of the American and British schools and addresses issues that have been central to the field's development, including systemic transformation, system governance, and the place of the sovereign state in formal analysis. The definitive intellectual history of international political economy, this book is the ideal volume for IPE scholars and those interested in learning more about the field.

Why do countries differ so greatly in their patterns of political cleavage and coalition? Extending some basic findings of economic theories of international trade, Ronald Rogowski suggests a startling new answer. Testing his hypothesis chiefly against the evidence of the last century and a half, but extending it also to the ancient world and the sixteenth century, he finds a surprising degree of confirmation and some intriguing exceptions.

这是一本关于国际政治经济学中“非国家权威”的权威著作，同时也是苏珊·斯特兰奇的代表作。她从新颖全面的角度入手，剖析了权力与政治两个概念，从而为理解谁是世界经济的真正管理者提供了一个理论框架。并在此基础上对黑手党、世界六大会计事务所及国际组织官僚们等非国家权威进行了分析，向人们展示了在影响"谁获得什么"的权力方面，这些非国家权威对国家权威的侵蚀。本书为深入研究并教授国际政治经济学指明了新的方向，展示了未来研究中引人入胜的某些层面。

《国际关系政治经济学》是国际关系政治经济学研究领域的杰出成果，它以现代的视野对长期争论不休的问题进行重新阐述，这个争论涉及社会生活中两个相互对立的主角——国家和市场——发生的冲突具有什么性质和产生什么后果。在《国际关系政治经济学》中，罗伯特·吉尔平诠释了以美日经济日益结合为基础的世界经济体系现状，也探讨了这种经常紧张的国际关系大大有赖于稳定的时代的可能后果。作者试图缩小政治学与经济学之间的差距，并把理论问题与研究20世纪70年代中期以来世界经济秩序中出现的大量变革联系起来。对于谋求广泛了解美国和西欧与日本和其他新兴经济强国之间相互影响，以及希望把国际政治经济学概念应用到贸易、金融和货币问题等具体领域中去的读者，《国际关系政治经济学》不可不读。

本书考察了影响国内政治中战略博弈的关键因素，内部博弈的结局最终导致了国际范围内博弈的终结，并进而在某种程度上形成了合作之势。作者通过对数个案例的研究，揭示了形成合作所需经过的若干阶段：推动阶段、国际层次的谈判阶段、国内最终批准阶段。

全书分为七章，前面两章从大西洋两岸开始介绍这门学科的地理特性，然后延续科恩一贯强调的体系转型与体系治理两个重心，讲述这一学科不同于其他学科的显著特点，紧接着第五章更进一步探讨国家在不同国际政治经济学派别和议题中的地位，彰显国际政治经济学在国际关系传统下的发展脉络，第六章则集中展现了40年来国际政治经济学研究所取得的重要理论成果与开创的研究方法，最后一章是科恩对国际政治经济未来发展的思考，不仅提出国际政治经济学出现了三代学者的演进，科恩还特别希望英国学派和美国学派之间能够架起沟通的桥梁。

本书作者罗伯特. 吉尔平是国际政治经济学的代表人物。在本书中作者研究了冷战后世界经济和政治的新发展，并基于这些发展着重探讨了改变世界面貌的经济、政治和技术力量，作者强调国家仍是经济事务中最重要的决定因素，同时也强调区域主义、跨国公司和金融动荡的重要性。本书较全面地论述了国际政治经济学各方面的内容，从历史到发展现状，从贸易体系到金融体系，作者都一一进行了论述。作者在此书的英文版前言中称本书是其代表作《国际关系政治经济学》的第二版，由此可见本书在国际政治经济学领域的重要地位。
