Unlike many discussions of democracy that treat authority as a problem primarily of domestic politics or normative values, this book puts the international economy at the centre of the analysis.This volume shows how changes in the international economy from the inter-war years to the end of the twentieth century impacted upon the success and failures of democracy.
