The Cold War

The history of the Cold War has been the history of the world since 1945. So begins this wide-ranging narrative by an award-winning political commentator, which is the first major study of the Cold War. Now that it is over, it is crucial to our future to understand how the Cold War has shaped us and, especially, to recognize it as the economic global political economy evolution and dynamics and political dynamic that determined the structure of today's global economy. From the origins of the Marshall Plan, which revived Europe after World War II, global political economy evolution and dynamics and the strategic decision to rebuild a defeated Japan into a bulwark against China to the collapse of the Berlin Wall, this authoritative work reveals how the West was built into an economic alliance that overpowered the Soviet economy while also unleashing global economic forces that today challenge the traditional nation-state. The Cold War was more of a global conflict than was either of this century's two major wars; far more than a confrontation between states or even empires, it was, as Martin Walker puts it, a total war between economic global political economy evolution and dynamics and social systems, an industrial test to destruction.

In an era when global society global political economy evolution and dynamics and the transnational market are trendy concepts, she suggests that state capacities for domestic transformative strategies provide a competitive advantage.

In fact, she contends, the strength of external economic pressures is largely determined domestically, global political economy evolution and dynamics and the effect of such pressures varies with the strength of domestic institutions. Weiss analyzes the sources global political economy evolution and dynamics and varieties of state capacity for governing industrial transformation in contemporary cases: the unraveling of Sweden's distributive model of adjustment, the evolution of developmental states in Northeast Asia, global political economy evolution and dynamics and the parallel strengths of the German global political economy evolution and dynamics and Japanese systems of industrial coordination. Her comparative perspective allows her to show how different types of state capacity affect industrial vitality global political economy evolution and dynamics and domestic adjustment to global forces. As economic integration proceeds, she concludes, state capabilities will matter more rather than less in fostering social well-being global political economy evolution and dynamics and the creation of wealth.
