Recenzje

'This dazzling history by Marvin Suesse focuses squarely on the clash between nationalist passions and economic interests. Through a collection of brilliant case studies spanning time, region, and level of development, Suesse explores how political pressures for national advancement and security have always shaped countries' approaches to engagement with world markets. The current downswing in the globalization cycle - apparent in a series of disintegrative events since 2016 - supports Suesse's argument that nationalism is here to stay. Anyone hoping to understand and navigate that reality will find this book to be an indispensable resource.' Maurice Obstfeld, University of California, Berkeley
