"This is an empirically up-to-date and theoretically state-of-the-art text for undergraduate courses in international relations and especially in international political economy. The prose is clear and the charts and tables well chosen. Students and teachers will benefit greatly from reading a book that succeeds admirably in the difficult task of combining intellectual rigor with accessibility."
—Peter Katzenstein, Cornell University
"This is an extraordinary book. It offers a wide-ranging and elegant review of arguments about how markets and states work in the international arena. Through clarifying key ideas and emphasizing the role of institutions, the authors provide an outstanding text for any international political economy course. The book also stands on its own as a contribution to IPE literature. The authors’ explanation for the core dynamics shaping contemporary states’ economic policies elegantly synthesizes both their own and others’ earlier works. I look forward to using this volume in my IPE class."

"It is said that a field comes of age once it produces a standard text. Grieco and Ikenberry’s State Power and World Markets might just serve that role for the young field of International Political Economy. Thorough and challenging yet accessible to quality undergraduates, this book takes the ’economics’ as seriously as the ’politics’ in Political Economy. And it integrates the two in a way that gives real identity to the field."
—Brian Pollins, Ohio State University
