Description
During the Cold War, international trade closely paralleled the division of the world into two rival political-military blocs. NATO and GATT were two sides of one coin; the Warsaw Treaty Organization and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance were two sides of another. In this book Joanne Gowa examines the logic behind this linkage between alliances and trade and asks whether it applies not only after but also before World War II.
Reviews
"The book is a first-rate contribution ... Gowa provides a novel way of thinking about the determinants of free trade, and compelling evidence that economics and security are intimately linked."--Millennium
