Cambridge Studies in the Emergence of Global Enterprise Series
Content:
The essays in this volume discuss worldwide economic integration between 1850 and 1930, challenging the popular description of the period after 1918 as one of deglobalisation. By showing that institutionalism altered its shape in circumstances that challenged international trade, and presenting case studies from various countries, this book offers a fresh perspective on economic globalisation
