International economic integration is not a recent phenomenon; its
roots can be traced back to the Roman Empire. This informative
volume departs from the conventional short-term analysis and takes
a long-term view of the process, offering perspectives that are
both detailed and diverse. Author Dennis McCarthy examines seven
types of organizations that exemplify international economic
integration (colonial empires, merchant associations, religious
empires, criminal empires, free trade areas, customs unions and
common markets), and representative examples of each type are
analyzed in a comparative framework. Timely and unique, this book
demonstrates that international economic integration is an economic
and political process that also involves political economy. With an
introduction defining key terms and concepts; a retrospective
summarizing the main insights, and endnotes and a detailed
bibliography offering readers ways to pursue these topics further,
McCarthy's book will prove indispensable to students and general
readers who wish to gain a firm understanding of international
economics and the processes that shape the world today.
