Description: "The scholarship of historian and political economist, Robert W. Cox, spans some thirty to fifty years. As an outsider to the fields of IR/IPE the inspiration and wellspring of his work is often misunderstood and incorrectly represented. This comprehensive overview focuses on the development of his thinking and attempts to set the record straight. It is hoped that the volume will provide a point of entry for younger scholars and that it will refocus the attention of established scholars some 20 years after the publication of Power, Production and World Order: Social Forces in the Making of History."--BOOK JACKET.
