世界上演变中的经济和技术的相互依赖与被各主权国家不断分割的世界政府体系之间的冲突,是当代国际政治经济学著作的主要论题。以贸易、货币和投资形式所显示的强大市场力量趋向于不受政治控制,横越国界,把各个社会结成一体。政府的动向是限制、引导和使经济活动为国家及国家中各强有力集团明显见到的利益服务。市场的逻辑是使经济活动安排在最有生产效率和最有赢利的场所;国家的逻辑是赢得和控制经济增长的过程和资本积累。市场经济的组成原则是资本积累,而政府的组成原则却是国家安全。关于这两个根本对立原则冲突的性质和后果的争论已有几个世纪。从近代早期的大卫·休谟、亚当·斯密和亚历山大·汉密尔顾到十九世界的杰出人物如李嘉图、穆勒、马克思和 The clash between the evolving economic and technological interdependencies in the world and the world government system that is continuously fragmented by sovereign nations is the main topic of contemporary international political economy.
