Against the backdrop of a 20-year revolt against free trade
orthodoxy by economists inside the UN and their impact on policy
discussions since the 1960s, the authors show how the UN both
nurtured and inhibited creative and novel intellectual
contributions to the trade and development debate. Presenting a
stirring account of the main UN actors in this debate, The UN and
Global Political Economy focuses on the accomplishments and
struggles of UN economists and the role played by such UN agencies
as the Department of Economic (and Social) Affairs, the United
Nations Commission on Trade and Development, and the Economic
Commission for Latin America (and the Caribbean). It also looks
closely at the effects of the Latin American debt crisis of the
1980s, the growing strength of the World Trade Organization (WTO)
in the 1990s, and the lessons to be drawn from these and other
recent developments.
