PREFACE

We have written this Instructor’s Manual & Test Bank to help instructors serve the needs of
their students. We hope that you find it a valuable educational resource.

This seventh edition of the Instructor’s Manual & Test Bank reflects changes made in the
seventh edition of Balaam and Dillman’s Introduction to International Political Economy. We
strive to make teaching International Political Economy (IPE) more effective by presenting
tools, ideas, and perspectives that aid in course preparation and implementation. The Manual
presents the following information about each chapter of the textbook:

Overview: We state with a brief summary of the main themes of each chapter of the
textbook.

Key Terms: This is a list of important words students will encounter in the chapter. These
words are defined in the Glossary at the end of the textbook. You may want to put these terms
on the blackboard and go through them during class. They are also good fodder for multiple
choice, identification, and short-answer questions on exams and quizzes.

Teaching Tips: A brief listing of tips on how to present the chapter’s material and
encourage student understanding. We recommend that you adjust these to your own
teaching style and interests.

Sample Essay Questions: In this section we provide a number of possible essay questions.
You may also want to use some of these questions for discussions. Note: Most of the essay
questions listed in this Instructor’s Manual & Test Bank are designed to be used for exams.
However, some essay questions are more appropriate for out-of-class writing assignments.
Instructors can easily adapt essay questions for non-exam writing assignments for which
students are expected to consult supplementary resources such as newspaper articles, other
media sources, and scholarly sources.

Sample Multiple-Choice Questions: This section has a list of potential multiple-choice


questions for quizzes and exams. We encourage instructors to make up their own questions
based on what they want to test students. We do not use these questions as a significant basis
of evaluation for our classes, but combine them with other evaluation methods and techniques.

Suggested Readings and Links: In this section we provide a short list of recommended
readings and websites that connect directly to themes in the chapters. We focus mostly on
recently published books that we believe are accessible to a wide readership. Note that there
are other valuable sources listed in the endnotes and Suggested Readings in each chapter of the
textbook.

Audiovisual Resources: We focus mostly on documentaries that have been released recently
and that relate closely to chapter themes. Instructors may want to show some in class or have
students watch some of them through low-cost streaming services. A number of them can be
watched for free online.
Our goal for the textbook is to help students understand important elements of the IPE
discipline and make connections between complex issues. To keep the textbook accessible and
introductory, we have omitted information that you might prefer be in it, and we have
sometimes simplified events, theories, and arguments. Thus, when you read parts of the
textbook on which you are an expert, you may find that our treatment is superficial. You
should supplement the textbook with other readings and ideas to present a more complete
picture of topics. In our own classes, we frequently draw upon supplementary articles,
documentaries, and news items.

We welcome your suggestions for ways that we can strengthen the textbook and help ensure
that it responds to your teaching needs and engages your students. We also welcome ideas for
improvements in this Instructor’s Manual and Test Bank.
