The authors provide a strong theoretical and practical foundation for understanding the global economy in an era of shifting borders, restructuring economies and regional ealignments.

The sixth edition includes updated tables and data, color maps, 2009 economic statistics, a detailed analysis of the global shift in world trade and development, eleven new case studies and a new premium website with videos, web links, RSS feeds and quizzes.
