Summary: Invaluable tool for the economist or political scientist
Comment: A dense but fascinating series of essays covering a multitude of the most important issues of international political economy. Differing viewpoints are offered in several similar essays which allow the reader to form an opinion. Definitely a value.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Simply the Best
Comment: One will not find a better reader in the field of International Political Economy than Frieden and Lake's. Packed with classic articles from a variety of well regarded political scientists and fantastically edited with useful divisions made by topic and ideology, this reader is essential for any course at the university level in IPE. I would even recommend that international economics classes take a look at adding this text, as the political economy of free trade, the WTO, Transnational Corporations, etc. is discussed at length.
Customer Rating:
Summary: essential reading
Comment: This is the best and most widely respected collection of essays in international political economy (IPE). They lay the groundwork for much of the current research in IPE. Frieden and Lake do a great job of maintaining classic foundations, which continue to enlighten, while adding selected new material to cover more current events. Highly recommended.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Really really boring
Comment: This book provides a bunch of politically motivated exerpts that provide nothing more than endless boredom.

Summary: IPE Reader aimed at students new to IPE
Comment: Frieden and Lake are two very well-established scholars in the IPE field. In this book they have presented 31 articles of academic journal quality in a manner that is accessbile to students with little or no IPE knowledge. Having some fundamental knowledge of micro-economics, specifically comparative advantage (the underlying rationale as to why globalization is occuring and what it really is), can be helpful in understanding some of the subject matter. The book is divided into seven main sections: 1)Contending Perspectives on IPE, 2) Historical Perspectives, 3)Production, 4) Money and Finance, 5) Trade, 6) Economies in Development and Transition, and 7) Current Problems in IPE. As is evident from the sections in the book, this is a fairly thorough look at IPE, what it was, is, as well as what it could be in the future. Would be five stars but some of the articles were quite redundant (as is oft the case with books dealing with economic subject matter).
