International Finance

In this incisive new book, Michael Mandelbaum argues that the era marked by an expansive American foreign policy is coming to an end. During the seven decades from the U.S. entry into World War II in 1941 to the present, economic constraints rarely limited what the United States did in the world. Now that will change. The country's soaring deficits, fueled by the huge costs of the financial crash and of its entitlement programs - Social Security and Medicare - will compel a more modest American international presence.

Il 1° gennaio 1958 nasce la Comunità economica europea, primo fondamentale passo verso l'Europa unita. Già nei primi anni '60 gli scambi commerciali fra paesi comunitari aumentano del 30% e nel periodo 1958-1970 raddoppiano percentualmente rispetto a quelli del commercio mondiale nel suo complesso. Le misure di liberalizzazione via via adottate hanno portato a una consistente espansione del commercio intracomunitario, che è giunto a toccare circa il 60% di tutti gli scambi della Comunità.

The world has changed. Asia and the West have converged, and the old borders, rules and ways of working no longer apply. This is the new global reality, and to succeed in it you need to understand how the other half of the world thinks, talks and acts. As individuals, businesses, nations and a species, our biggest challenges and opportunities are now unarguably global. The key skill of the 21st century will be the ability to interact effectively across the Asia/West intersection and the new blended world.

Barreras y distancias van quedando atrás. Día a día vivimos interconectados con los demás habitantes del mundo a través de un chat, una red social, una compra electrónica, una venta de productos nativos, una clase virtual o un club de fans oficial. Estamos sumergidos, sin querer, en un proceso que no termina y lo llamamos globalización. Sin embargo, este fenómeno que nos interconecta trae consigo una serie de retos y desafíos que afectan el modelo económico, el comercio mundial y los patrones de convivencia tal cual los conocemos.

Im WM-Finale 1986 musste sich die DFB-Elf der argentinischen Auswahl um Diego Maradona mit 2:3 geschlagen geben. Trotzdem durften sich die Westdeutschen als Weltmeister fühlen, denn in diesem Jahr exportierte die Bundesrepublik erstmals mehr Güter als jeder andere Staat. Das Land war »Exportweltmeister« – Champion in einer Disziplin, die nicht nur das Fundament für unseren Wohlstand bildet: Die deutsche Exportstärke ist Bestandteil des Nationalstolzes und Hinweis auf den exzellenten Ruf der Waren »Made in Germany«.

An Indien scheiden sich die Geister. Obwohl oder gerade weil kaum jemand im Westen dieses widersprüchliche Land versteht. Zwischen Slums und Prunk, zwischen Yoga und Hightech, zwischen Bollywoodkultur und Kastenwesen ist uns das Land, dessen Bedeutung für die Weltgemeinschaft immer größer wird, ein Rätsel geblieben.

In this third edition of Border Games, Peter Andreas charts the rise and transformation in policing the flow of drugs and migrants across the US-Mexico border. Recent border crackdowns and wall-building campaigns, he argues, are not unprecedented. Rather, they are the outcome of an escalatory dynamic already in motion—but now played out on a far bigger stage, with higher stakes, and in new security and political contexts. Focusing on the power of symbolic politics and policy feedback effects, Andreas traces the logic behind such buildup.

Authors Barry Eichengreen, Asmaa El-Ganainy, Rui Esteves, and Kris James Mitchener argue that the ability of governments to issue debt has played a critical role in addressing emergencies—from wars and pandemics to economic and financial crises, as well as in funding essential public goods and services such as transportation, education, and healthcare. None of this is to deny that debt problems, debt crises, and debt defaults occur. But these dramatic events, which attract much attention, are not the entire story. In Defense of Public Debt redresses the balance.

Das deutsche Wirtschaftsmodell ist unausgewogen und hochgradig riskant. Der Grund: Die starke Abhängigkeit von der Droge Exportismus. Andreas Nölke zeigt die aktuellen Gefahren der Exportlastigkeit der deutschen Wirtschaft und liefert ein fulminantes Plädoyer für ein neues Wirtschaftsmodell, das nachhaltiger, stabiler und im globalen Kontext ausgewogener balanciert ist.

In the wake of the 2008 financial crash, Daniel W. Drezner, like so many others, looked at the smoking ruins of the global economy and wondered why global economic governance structure had failed so spectacularly, and what could be done to reform them in the future. But then a funny thing happened. As he surveyed their actions in the wake of the crash, he realized that the evidence pointed to the exact opposite conclusion: global economic governance had succeeded.

In State Capitalism, Joshua Kurlantzick ranges across the world - China, Thailand, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, and more - and argues that the increase in state capitalism across the globe has, on balance, contributed to a decline in democracy. He isolates some of the reasons for state capitalism's resurgence: the fact that globalization favors economies of scale in the most critical industries and the widespread rejection of the Washington Consensus in the face of the problems that have plagued the world economy in recent years.

What if we could hit the reset button on the way we create money, work, commerce, and community? This is not an idle question, for technology now enables us to hit that reset button and organize the creation of money, work, commerce, and community in new ways. If we could start from scratch, what would a new system look like? To answer that, we must understand why the current system is failing. The current system is based on five principles that are assumed to be true.
