International economic integration is perceived as one of the
paramount forces shaping the modern world. Many organizations, both
public and private, are trying to combine economic activities
across international borders. The European Union and the North
American Free Trade Area are two examples of government-managed
international economic integration. Private organizations include
various criminal groups as well as international churches.
International economic integration is not a recent phenomenon; its
roots can be traced back to the Roman Empire. "International
Economic Integration in Historical Perspective" departs from the
conventional short-term analysis and takes a long-term view of the
process, offering perspectives that are both detailed and diverse.
Dennis M. P. McCarthy examines seven types of organizations that
exemplify international economic integration, such as colonial
empires, merchant associations, religious empires, criminal
empires, free trade areas, customs unions and common markets.
Representative examples of each type are analyzed in a comparative
framework. An introduction defines key terms and concepts; a
retrospective summarizes the main insights that emerge from the
book. Endnotes and a detailed bibliography offer readers ways to
pursue topics further.
This timely and unique book demonstrates that international
economic integration is an economic and political process that also
involves political economy." International Economic Integration in
Historical Perspective "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.
