Description

The contributors examine the proposition that states and markets are bound together by inextricable symbiotic ties, while at the same time always standing in tension with each other. The conclusion drawn from the nine diverse but very specific viewpoints contained in this work is that even though markets are constructed by geopolitics and state policy, 'geopolitics and markets define the economic and political space in which states operate'.
