Internationalization and Domestic Politics (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics)

Book Overview

Much recent economic analysis has been devoted to exploring the effects of internationalization on macroeconomic policy options, national competitiveness, and rewards to various factors of production. The central proposition of this volume is that we can no longer understand politics within countries without comprehending the nature of the linkages between national economies and the world economy, and changes in such linkages. The authors examine the effect of internationalization on the policy preferences of socioeconomic and political agents within countries toward national policies and national policy-making institutions and on the national policies and policy institutions themselves.

A insightful work of emerging agenda: Internationalization

Robert O. Keohane and Helen V. Milner, editors of "Internationalization and Domestic Politics", written in 1996, are one of the most intelligent International Relations scholars today. This book focuses on the enormous effect of internationalization on domestic politics; changes of national economic policies, institutional and political changes within a nation, and changes of the attitude of socio-economic interest group toward national economic policy. Then they apply their theoretical hypothesis to the United States, Japan, Russia, China, and a few developing countries. Besides validity of their hypothesis, this book proposes a great insight into the global phenomenon, internationalization, and shows how each country¡¯s national economic policies converge on global level. "A candid analysis of internationalization" - that is enough for my impression.
