ABSTRACT
Source: The Political Economy of International Relations (Princeton University Press, Princeton, 1987), pp. 25-64.
In the book from which this section is drawn, Gilpin uses three ideologies or perspectives-liberalism, economic nationalism and Marxism-to examine a range of specific issues such as trade, investment and development, related to the international political economy. In this section he provides an overview and critique of each ideology and elaborates on what he means by an ideology. Although a liberal by persuasion, Gilpin concludes that Marxism identifies problems which liberalism may not be able to overcome.
