This fully revised fifth edition continues to offer the authoritative introduction to today's global political economy and its historical context. O'Brien and Williams move beyond the traditional three-paradigm perspective to show how these theories can be applied and their efficacy in tackling key developments and issues. In doing so, the authors offer an all-encompassing analysis of the multiple theories, themes, and issues to create a comprehensive guide to the topic. The authors first trace the evolution of the global economy from its roots in fifteenth century through the Industrial Revolution, to the post-1945 world order. They then proceed to explore in more detail the dynamics of today's global political economy, providing systematic coverage of the key spheres of activity, from trade, production and finance to social divisions, development, the environment, ideas, security and governance. This edition includes new material on the Greek financial crisis and the changing role of the BRICS countries in global governance, as these developments upset the dominance of the US and Europe in the world economy today. Supported by multiple boxed exhibits, further reading links, and a fully-featured companion website, this text is designed to be as accessible as possible. Online, students will find essay and multiple choice questions, podcasts and videos, timelines, and other materials to help consolidate learning.

""Flowers By Wire: The Story Of The Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association"" is a book written by Marc Williams that delves into the history of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association (FTD), a network of florists established in 1910 that allowed customers to order and send flowers across the United States through telegraph messages. The book explores the origins of the FTD, its growth and expansion, and the challenges it faced over the years, including competition from other floral delivery services and the impact of technological advancements. Through interviews with FTD employees and industry experts, as well as archival research, Williams provides a comprehensive account of the FTD's impact on the floral industry and its role in shaping the way flowers are bought and sold today. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the floral industry, as well as those interested in the evolution of communication and technology in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This book reflects my pondering the basic tenets of Christianity, such as the Trinity and the value of Scripture, in forming a more viable Christian faith in the 21st Century. It asks big questions about God and Jesus Christ, about the tense relationship between Christianity and Judaism, about how we better bolster and maintain our faith as well as about miracles and the many people indifferent to God at all.This book is particularly for those who have left the Church and need guidance without its structure and habits with which we are all familiar. It is for those forging your own faith and needing more than Scripture alone. It is for those interested in the divine realm of spirituality beyond what Scripture generally describes.This book is purposely designed to take you somewhere else than you have likely considered before. It may well change your life.

This book argues that increasing engagement between international institutions and sectors of civil society is producing a new form of global governance. The authors investigate 'complex multilateralism' by studying the relationship between three multilateral economic institutions (the IMF, World Bank, and World Trade Organization), and three global social movements (environmental, labour and women's movements). They provide a rich comparative analysis of the institutional response to social movement pressure, tracing institutional change, policy modification and social movement tactics as they struggle to influence the rules and practices governing trade, finance and development regimes. The contest to shape global governance is increasingly being conducted upon a number of levels and amongst a diverse set of actors. Analysing a unique breadth of institutions and movements, this book charts an important part of that contest.

By focusing on climate security as it is constructed in the Pacific and how this concept mobilises resources and shapes the implementation of climate finance, the book provides an up-to-date account of the way regional organizations in the Pacific have contributed to the search for solutions to the problem of climate insecurity.
