‘Kevin O’Rourke’s selection of papers on nineteenth and twentieth century trade policy, providing essential reading for researchers in the field, is educative even for those already steeped in the subject and fundamental for understanding present day trade conflicts.’
– James Foreman-Peck, Cardiff Business School, UK

The establishment of a multilateral international trading regime is one of the great achievements of post-1945 international diplomacy.

The focus of this collection is the history of the international trading system over the past two centuries. Volume I includes an overview of the subject area as well as sections considering the effects of war and peace, the late nineteenth-century backlash, and contemporary views of interwar disintegration. Volume II looks at the issues of hegemony, non-discrimination and reciprocity. It also covers customs unions, preferential trading agreements, trade wars and trade rivalry.

34 articles, dating from 1927 to 2004 Contributors include: F. Crouzet, D.A. Irwin, J.M. Keynes, C.P. Kindleberger, S.D. Krasner, P.K. O’Brien, K. Polanyi, P.W. Schroeder, J. Viner, J.G. Williamson
