This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the field of political economy. For this purpose, following a theoretical framework, basic information on political economy is presented, particularly by utilizing current international data. The relationships of political economy with processes ranging from regulatory actions of governments to international arbitration are also addressed. With a case study of US sugar markets, it is explained that it is not possible to understand economic problems and conduct realistic analyses without focusing on political policies. Another important feature of the book is that current topics are presented to the reader in a language that everyone can understand, with the inclusion of figurative representations and graphics.
