Description: Rapid increases in international economic exchanges during the past four decades have made national economies very open to the world economy by historical standards. Much recent economic analysis has been devoted to exploring the effects of such internationalization on macroeconomic policy options, national competitiveness, and rewards to various factors of production.

Since economics and politics are so closely linked, there is reason to expect profound political effects as well: in particular, domestic politics in countries around the world should show signs of the impact of the world economy.

The central proposition of this volume is that we can no longer understand politics within countries - what we still conventionally "domestic" politics - without comprehending the nature of the linkages between national economies and the world economy, and changes in such linkages.
