The Economic Factor
in International Relations: A Brief Introduction: Volume 19
by Spyros Economides,
Peter Wilson
published 2002
Economics no longer
forms the backdrop to world events but rather appears to drive foreign policy
and represents a more powerful resource than military strength. If
globalization is irreversible, then conquering markets is much more important
than conquering territory. These are the claims made about economics in world
affairs, both by policy analysts and by armchair philosophers. This book
examines these claims critically shows how political agendas and speculation
have formed many of ourcurrent assumptions about the workings of economics in
the world today.
