How and why do countries bargain together in world affairs? Why are
such coalitions crucial to developing nations? What effects do
these blocs have on world affairs? This new study asks and answers
these key questions, showing why successful coalition building is a
difficult and expensive process: allies need to be carefully
identified, large numbers do not always mean a proportionate
increase in influence. The weak have the choice of teaming up
against or jumping on the bandwagon with the strong. Even after it
has been organized, collective action entails costs of many kinds.
This book also investigates the relevance and workability of
coalitions as an instrument of bargaining power for the weak. More
specifically, it analyzes the coalition strategies of developing
countries at the inter-state level, particularly in the context of
international trade. Given the nature of this enquiry, this new
study uses theoretical and empirical methods to complement each
other. Through new case-studies of the Uruguay Round and an
analytical overview of more recent coalitions, this is an important
contribution to international political economy and international
relations, where most GATT/WTO-based coalitions have eluded record.
This book will be of great interest to all students of
international relations, politics and globalization.
