In the twenty-first century, globalization poses major
challenges to the key players in U.S. domestic politics--challenges
similar to many that Americans have faced from abroad since the
nation's founding. But it is only in recent decades that links have
been drawn between the study of American political development and
international relations; even now, emphasis falls primarily on how
domestic politics affects the world arena. This book redresses the
imbalance.
Ten leading scholars explore how, over the past two centuries,
the changing positions of the United States in the world economy
and in the international political order have shaped U.S. political
institutions and domestic politics. Ira Katznelson, Aristide R.
Zolberg, and Robert O. Keohane demonstrate the central role that
efforts to contend with foreign military and economic competition
played in forming the major institutions of U.S. government from
the framing of the Constitution through the Civil War. Martin
Shefter, Theda Skocpol (writing with Ziad Munson, Andrew Karch, and
Bayliss Camp), Ronald Rogowski, and Judith Goldstein show how the
nation's political institutions were transformed by problems of war
and trade the U.S. subsequently faced. Aaron L. Friedberg,
Bartholomew H. Sparrow, and Peter A. Gourevitch conclude the volume
by analyzing how international conflicts during and after the Cold
War influenced governmental institutions and domestic politics in
the United States over the past fifty years. Shaped by War and
Trade sets the agenda for further exploration of a topic whose
discussion is long overdue.
