Review

'Susan Strange's latest work, The Retreat of the State, goes a long way to breaking the bounds of traditional analyses of the international political economy. Instead of concentrating on well-covered ground involving trade relations and balances between states ... the book takes a much broader look at the functions of the world economy and the diffusion of authority within it to legitimately perform those functions.' The Review of Politics

Book Description

Who is really in charge of the world economy? Not only governments, argues Susan Strange. Big businesses, drug barons and accountants all encroach on the so-called sovereignty of the state. Professor Strange examines this rivalry and points to some important new directions for international relations, business and economics.
