Book Description: Taylor Francis Ltd, United Kingdom, 2008. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 234 x 156 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Globalization and money - two concepts inextricably linked. In many ways the speed with which financial resources traverse the globe, the opportunities which this provides for the efficient allocation of resources, the possibilities which this creates for financial crises and traders who act as agents removed from the concerns of national citizens have come to symbolize the phenomenon, hopes and fears of 'globalization'. However, inextricably linked they may be, but well understood they are not. In the case of national currencies, a wide variety of predictions and analyses can be found. For some, national currencies represent barriers to a seamless global economy. Others argue that national currencies will disappear due to the power of international financial markets which will force national governments to adopt more credible currencies and abandon their own.In contrast, others see imperialism or regionalism as the main challenges. Paul Bowles provides an innovative and systematic analysis of the implications of theories of globalization for national currencies. He critically examines whether, as a result, the world is heading for fewer currencies.He argues that the main 'force of globalization' which is endangering national currencies is that of globalization as 'neoliberal globalism'. However there is no single neoliberal position on money and so the 'contingent' nature of neoliberalism explains why this particular force of globalization operates more strongly in some countries than others. This is demonstrated in case studies of four systemically significant currencies, namely, those of Australia, Canada, Mexico and Norway. "National Currencies and Globalization" will be of interest to researchers and students of International Political Economy, Politics, Economics and Finance. Bookseller Inventory # AA69780415774277

Book Description: Taylor and Francis(Routledge), 2007. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 9.213 by 6.142 inches. (224 pages) Gobaization and money ? two concepts inextricaby inked. In many ways the speed with which financia resources traverse the gobe, the opportunities which this provides for the efficient aocation of resources, the possibiities which this creates for financia crises and traders who act as agents removed from the concerns of nationa citizens have come to symboize the phenomenon, hopes and fears of ?gobaization?. However, inextricaby inked they may be, but we understood they are not. In the case of nationa currencies, a wide variety of predictions and anayses can be found. For some, nationa currencies represent barriers to a seamess goba economy. Others argue that nationa currencies wi disappear due to the power of internationa financia markets which wi force nationa governments to adopt more credibe currencies and abandon their own. In contrast, others see imperiaism or regionaism as the main chaenges. Pau Bowes provides an innovative and systematic anaysis of the impications of theories of gobaization for nationa currencies. He criticay examines whether, as a resut, the word is heading for fewer currencies. He argues that the main ?force of gobaization? which is endangering nationa currencies is that of gobaization as ?neoibera gobaism?. However there is no singe neoibera position on money and so the ?contingent? nature of neoiberaism expains why this particuar force of gobaization operates more strongy in some countries than others. This is demonstrated in case studies of four systemicay significant currencies, namey, those of Austraia, Canada, Mexico and Norway. Nationa Currencies and Gobaization wi be of interest to researchers and students of Internationa Poitica Economy, Poitics, Economics and Finance. 1. Introduction Part 1: Gobaization and Nationa Currencies 2. The Economic and Poitica Dynamics of Gobaization: Four Interpretations 3. The Impications of the Four Interpretations of Gobaization for Nationa Currencies Part 2: Case Studies of Four Systemicay Significant Currencies 4. Austraia 5. Canada 6. Mexico (with Juan Caros Moreno-Brid) 7. Norway (with Ådne Cappeen) Part 3: Concusion 8. Comparative Concusions: ?Contingent Neoiberaism? and the Limits of Gobaism 'In this very readabe and ceary argued book, Bowes convincingy chaenges the view that gobaization necessariy threatens the abiity of midde-sized states to maintain nationa currencies. He does so through a carefu study of four countries - Canada, Norway, Austraia and Mexico - which have each recenty experienced a domestic debate about the future of their respective nationa currencies. None of these countries has chosen to abandon their nationa currencies, and none seems ikey to do so soon. As Bowes shows, the cases highight not just the enduring power of distinctive domestic poitics in an age of gobaization but aso the contingent nature of neoiberaism. This book makes an important contribution to debates both about gobaization and monetary poitics, and it deserves a wide interdiscipinary audience.' Eric Heeiner, CIGI Chair in Internationa Governance, University of Wateroo, Canada ' In debates over the future of nationa currencies in an increasingy gobaized word economy, most anaysts ook at either the top or the bottom of the internationa currency hierarchy. They either focus on rivary among eading currencies ike the US doar and Euro, or ese address the fate of the smaest and weakest currencies at the periphery of the monetary system. Pau Bowes makes and important and origina contribution by concentrating on systemicay significant currencies in the midde of the pack, where much of the monetary word is to be found. His admiraby detaied research ceary demonstrates the considerabe staying power of most nationa monies, contrary to predictions of their imminent demise. The book is must reading for any serious student of the poitica economy of internationa monetary reations.? Benjamin Jerry Cohen, Louis G. Lancaster Professor of Internationa Poitica Economy, Unive.
