Reforming Global Economic Governance
The architecture of global economic and financial governance has undergone a deep and pervasive reform in the last ten years, radically transforming international institutions and groups, such as the International Monetary Fund, the G7, and the G20. This book investigates the new, unsettled order which is now prevailing, driven by the change in the balance of power between advanced economies and key emerging market economies.

The book documents and examines a broad range of events, building o...
The Economic Government of the World
From a leading economic historian, this is the history of the institutions and individuals who have managed the global economy, from the World Monetary and Economic Conference in the wake of the Great Depression to the present Since the Second World War, organisations created at Bretton Woods - the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development - and afterwards - the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - have left an indelible mark on our contemporary world. Martin Daunton examines the swings of the pendulum over ninety years between the forces of democracy, national determination and globalization. He shows that the structures of economic government have been overwhelmingly shaped by 'first world' powers, often to the dismay of developing countries. He argues that whilst structures cannot be separated from the politics of and between the biggest economies, future global recovery rests on the reduction of inequality and that multilateral institutions are fundamental in fostering inclusive growth.

Economic Nationalism in a Globalizing World
Is economic nationalism an outdated phenomenon in light of globalization? Economic Nationalism in a Globalizing World demonstrates the enduring, and even heightened, economic significance of national identities and nationalism in the current age. The volume's contributors, pioneers in the reinterpretation of economic nationalism, explore diverse ways in which national identities and nationalism continue to shape contemporary economic policies and processes. The authors examine the question in a range of geographical contexts and issues: European Union food politics, competitiveness strategies in New Zealand, East Asian development strategies, Japanese liberalization, monetary politics in Quebec and Germany, and post-Soviet economic reforms. Together, the cases explore the policy breadth of nationalism. It is not just a "protectionist" ideology but is in fact associated with a wide variety of economic policies, including support for economic liberalization and globalization.
The Neomercantilists
As critiques of free trade policies grow, The Neomercantilists sheds light on the protectionist turn, offering the first intellectual history of neomercantilism's evolution. Eric Helleiner traces the ideology's pioneers from the late eighteenth to early twentieth centuries, highlighting advocates of strategic protectionism and government economic activism to promote state power. While Friedrich List is well-known, Helleiner also highlights lesser-known thinkers, many from beyond the West. Helleiner's focus on neomercantilism's diverse origins challenges Western-centric accounts of its history. He uncovers neglected regional traditions and global exchanges of ideas that shaped distinct versions of the ideology in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. These ideas endure, influencing the two dominant powers in today's world economy: China and the United States. The Neomercantilists is a groundbreaking study of influential economic ideas. It links the past to the present, urging more global approaches to studying political economy and the cross-border circulation of thought.
