Book Description
Based on new archival research, this is the first comprehensive study of the failure of international co-operation to combat the Great Depression. The book explores the impact of protectionism, reparations and war debts, as well as the more well known disagreements on monetary issues which, together, helped to prolong the most profound economic depression of the twentieth century. The economic and diplomatic lessons drawn from this period by the major powers - particularly German intelligence as to the deep divisions in Anglo-American economic relations - also provide an important contribution to understanding the origins of the Second World War and the diplomatic and economic order created in its aftermath.

The Economic Diplomacy of Ostpolitik
Author: Werner D. Lippert
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1845455746
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Despite the consensus that economic diplomacy played a crucial role in ending the Cold War, very little research has been done on the economic diplomacy during the crucial decades of the 1970s and 1980s. This book fills the gap by exploring the complex interweaving of East–West political and economic diplomacies in the pursuit of détente. The focus on German chancellor Willy Brandt’s Ostpolitik reveals how its success was rooted in the usage of energy trade and high tech exchanges with the Soviet Union. His policies and visions are contrasted with those of U.S. President Richard Nixon and the Realpolitik of Henry Kissinger. The ultimate failure to coordinate these rivaling détente policies, and the resulting divide on how to deal with the Soviet Union, left NATO with an energy dilemma between American and European partners—one that has resurfaced in the 21st century with Russia’s politicization of energy trade. This book is essential for anyone interested in exploring the interface of international diplomacy, economic interest, and alliance cohesion.

Failure to Adjust
Author: Edward Alden
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1538109093
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
*Updated edition with a new foreword on the Trump administration's trade policy* The vast benefits promised by the supporters of globalization, and by their own government, have never materialized for many Americans. In Failure to Adjust Edward Alden provides a compelling history of the last four decades of US economic and trade policies that have left too many Americans unable to adapt to or compete in the current global marketplace. He tells the story of what went wrong and how to correct the course. Originally published on the eve of the 2016 presidential election, Alden’s book captured the zeitgeist that would propel Donald J. Trump to the presidency. In a new introduction to the paperback edition, Alden addresses the economic challenges now facing the Trump administration, and warns that economic disruption will continue to be among the most pressing issues facing the United States. If the failure to adjust continues, Alden predicts, the political disruptions of the future will be larger still.

A History of International Monetary Diplomacy, 1867 to the Present
Author: Giulio Gallarotti
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 9781138841154
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This new book is the first chronicle of how domestic politics (in the form of the guardian state) has shaped the monetary landscape from the time of the emergence of an international monetary system in the late 19th century, to the present day. Since the emergence of an international monetary system under the classical gold standard in the late-19th century, the landscape defining monetary relations and diplomacy has reflected a fundamental sensitivity to the structures and processes comprising domestic politics. Various influential histories of monetary relations proclaim the influence of domestic politics, whilst others attest to the power of domestic politics in a more restricted historical period. While these and other conventional monetary histories underscore the influence of domestic political forces in shaping monetary history, none has chronicled the precise process of this influence over the history of the international monetary system: 1880- present. The book provides many lessons from which implications can be drawn about an important issue in international economic relations: the present state and problems of the global monetary system and the possibilities for monetary cooperation.

Economic Diplomacy and the Geography of International Trade
Author: Peter A. G. van Bergeijk
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1781007772
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
The book presents an overview of the general aspects of trade uncertainty, a central element in the analysis of economic diplomacy, illustrating that some instruments, such as sanctions (both positive and negative), increase trade uncertainty, whilst others - multilateral trade policy, for instance - aim to reduce this uncertainty. Commercial policy and bilateral economic diplomacy are explored, and economic sanctions analysed. An extensive review of the literature and empirical investigations of 161 sanctions and the commercial relationships of 37 countries provide topical and empirical perspectives on how international diplomacy may both be a cost and a benefit of the key drivers of productivity growth. Finally, policy conclusions are drawn, and a future research agenda presented.
