Opis

Using Sweden and its textile industry as a case study, this book explores the tension between the commitment by industrial Western states to the liberalization of trade and the increasing demands on those states to provide economic security for the social welfare of the nation's citizenry. Dohlman's findings have far-reaching implications not only for the future of Sweden's economic stability, but for other neutral states and industrialized countries that operate in an increasingly protectionist global environment.
