In this collection of essays, Kevin Gallagher explores the extent to which trading regime [is] reducing the ability of nation-states to pursue policies for financial stability and economic growth, and...the political factors explaining such changes in policy space over time, across different types of treaties and across nations (1). The vastly different political-economic projects of the developing and the developed world have set the scene fora clash of globalisations. Readers of this book should heed Ha-Joon Chang's prescient statement that economics is a political argument - this goes to the heart of the conceptualisation of global trade.
