The first comprehensive history of world organizations and the global political economy for more than a generation, this timely book integrates a wealth of recent research in international relations, business history, and development studies to show how international organizations were created, what roles they have played in the evolution of the world economy since 1850, why successive world orders have broken down, and how they can be reconstructed.
