Following on from Hanging In There, this comprehensive volume
empirically covers the summits from the UK meeting in Birmingham in
1998 to the UK meeting in 2005. In essence, this study reviews a
full G8 cycle. The analytical framework rests on three general
summit objectives: political leadership, reconciling
international/domestic and collective management, and six
subject-specific performance indicators: leadership, effectiveness,
solidarity, durability, acceptability, consistency. Including a
detailed look at summits pre-Birmingham, it reviews developments
from 1998 by examining each summit from the subsequent summit
performances, such as financial issues and debt, trade issues and
development, to the most recent discussion on Africa, terrorism and
weapons of mass destruction. Moreover, it covers the development of
the G8 apparatus, the impact of Russia's membership and links with
non-G8 governments and non-state actors. It concludes with an
assessment as to whether the G8 achieves its three general summit
objectives.
This title was first published in 2003. This text explains how
states conduct their external economic relations as the 21st
century begins: how they make decisions domestically; how they
negotiate internationally; and how these processes interact. It
documents the transformation of economic diplomacy in response to
the end of the Cold War, the advance of globalisation and the
terrorist attacks of September 2001 and illustrates the growing
influence of non-state actors like private business and civil
society. The book integrates a full academic and theoretical
analysis with the experience of senior practitioners in economic
diplomacy and is based on the authors' work in the LSE's graduate
programme on "The Politics of the World Economy".
This title was first published in 2000: This inside look at the
G7/G8 summits is from an author who combines personal experience of
the summit process with academic analysis. It weaves together a
critical narrative of the annual summits with essays on their
interaction with contemporary trends - interdependence,
globalization and the end of the Cold War - and with key
international institutions. the summits are judged against their
original objectives: reconciling domestic and external pressures,
mobilizing collective management and providing political
leadership. Readers should take away an understanding of how the
leaders of the major industrial democracies have responded to the
transformation of the world economy during the late 20th century
and how far they have succeeded in reforming the international
economic system to meet the next millennium.

The New Economic Diplomacy explains how states conduct their
external economic relations in the 21st century: how they make
decisions domestically, how they negotiate internationally and how
these processes interact. Although the previous edition, published
in 2011, was able to reflect the impact of the financial crisis and
the immediate reaction to it, a lot has happened since then, and
the atmosphere of economic diplomacy has darkened. To capture the
emergence of new trends and the intensification of old ones, the
salient features of this new edition are: The advance of China and
other emerging powers at the expense of G7 governments, despite
some setbacks; Much greater activity in negotiating regional and
plurilateral trade agreements, while the multilateral system
struggles; The persistence of problems exposed by the financial
crisis, notably the long-running euro-zone crisis. The interaction
between domestic and external forces: the balance has shifted
towards the domestic axis, with international agreement more
difficult to achieve. This edition goes further in comparing the
practice of different players, to reflect the greater diversity of
economic diplomacy. Based on the authors' work in the field of
International Political Economy, it is suitable for students
interested in the decision-making processes in foreign economic
policy, including those studying international relations,
government, politics and economics. It will also appeal to
politicians, bureaucrats, business people, NGO activists,
journalists and the informed public.

For nearly a decade the leaders of the seven major industrial
countries-the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Britain,
Italy, and Canada-have met annually to discuss international
economic and political issues. Regular summitry of this sort is
virtually unprecedented in modern diplomacy. Proponents see the
Western summits as providing collective leadership that is vital in
a turbulent world, while critics dismiss summitry as distracting
and even damaging to political and economic stability. Hanging
Together charts the modern dilemma between economic interdependence
and national sovereignty. It assesses the history, decisions,
successes, and failures of the seven-power summits from Rambouillet
in 1975 to the 1983 meeting at Williamsburg, and looks forward to
the 1984 summit in London. The authors show how the growing
importance of international commerce and finance has caused
national and international politics to become entangled, and how
national borders have become more permeable. Born in an era of
waning American hegemony, the summits reveal the tension between
American leadership and collective Western management of the world
economy. The authors also trace the struggles of heads of state to
balance the conflicting imperatives of personal authority and
bureaucratic expertise. Because summits involve the power and
prestige of each country's highest authorities, summitry reveals in
concentrated form how these conflicts are expressed and managed. As
a blend of contemporary history and political economy, Hanging
Together demonstrates that summits are not isolated annual
encounters, but part of a continuous process of international and
domestic negotiation about the most important and controversial
issues facing all governments today.
