One of the key strengths of this text is its balance between economics and political science. It recognizes that economics is an essential disciplinary understanding that complements the political science approach of the course and text. The text shows how domestic politics shape international economic action, grounding students in what they are familiar with and then expanding their understanding to the global arena.

The text also includes a discussion of the disruptive impact of the pandemic on the global economy, as well as the ongoing challenges of climate change, the Green New Deal, and Green Industrial Policy. It extends the discussion of the impact of great power competition on the global economy and the role that weaponized interdependence might play in this competition. The text also considers the impact that Russias invasion of Ukraine will have on globalization.

Another notable feature of this text is its use of full color format, which makes it visually appealing and easier to navigate. This can be particularly helpful for students who are visual learners and may benefit from visual aids to reinforce their understanding of economic concepts.

Overall, this text is an excellent resource for students who are interested in learning more about economics and the global economy.
