FROM THE CRITICS International banker and political economist Kapstein explores the actions that governments have taken to cope with the economic and political consequences associated with the globalization of international finance. He also analyzes the politics of international financial negotiations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
The Political Economy of National Security is the only text on the market that analyzes the economic dimensions of national security. Given the specialization of writings in international relations, authors tend to treat "security studies" and "political economy" as separate spheres with no apparent linkage. By probing the interface between economics and security, this text offers a deeper understanding of both.
Nations around the world are "bandwagoning" with the United States, while trying to maintain some independence of action in case America becomes isolationist. Meanwhile the U.S. is being pulled in different directions by its own economic and security requirements, leading to policy contradictions that must be resolved if the "unipolar" moment is to endure.
