G'day Paul, I got a lot out of Carnoy, Castells, Cohen and Cardoso (1996) *The New Global Economy in the Information Age*. Penn. State and this introductory classic (in case it doesn't rate as a classic over there) Hettne, Bjorn (ed) (1995). *International Political Economy: understanding global disorder*. Ferwood, Halifax, Canada. I first took an interest due to Stuart Holland's (1987) *The Global Economy: from meso to macroeconomics*. Weidenfield & Nicolson, London. But then I ain't trained in this stuff, so have a look before you buy ... Cheers, Rob. >On Monday, May 17, 1999 at 02:04:02 (+0000) Paul Phillips writes: >> ...
