Friends but No Allies : Economic Liberalism and the Law of Nations

A study of the historical and intellectual context of the struggle for a liberal economic world order and an elucidation of the post-war world economic system and its principle institutions the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the World Bank and the IMF. The final chapter includes commentary on the Arab oil crisis of the 1970s; certainly this comprehensive history and analysis sheds light on forces at work in the current Middle East crisis.
