Edited by Benjamin J. Cohen, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Department of Political Science, University of California, Santa Barbara, US
Publication Date: 2004 ISBN: 978 1 84376 304 8 Extent: 976 pp
The studies included in these two volumes have been selected to highlight key recent contributions to scholarship on the political economy of international monetary relations. Over the last decade, the central theme of research in this area has been the growth and increasingly pervasive influence of capital mobility. The papers collected here have significantly advanced theoretical and analytical understanding of the causes and, even more importantly, the political and economic consequences of financial liberalization. Among the issues addressed are the impact of growing capital mobility on domestic policy, the choice of exchange-rate regimes and monetary institutions, governance of international capital, policy cooperation and monetary integration. These volumes will be of particular interest to specialists in international political economy.

Critical Acclaim
‘These volumes contain the best articles political scientists have published in recent years on international monetary relations. They cover every conceivable topic of interest, including the domestic politics of capital mobility, monetary institutions, and policy cooperation. It is no surprise that both the collection and the introduction to it are of such high quality – Benjamin J. Cohen is the editor of these volumes and the author of the introduction, and his expertise in this area is unparalleled in the field.’
