Descripción
Sumario:As awareness of the process of globalization grows and the study of its effects becomes increasingly important to governments and businesses (as well as to a sizable opposition), the need for historical understanding also increases. Despite the importance of the topic, few attempts have been made to present a long-term economic analysis of the phenomenon, one that frames the issue by examining its place in the long history of international integration.

Notas:"The papers were presented at a preconference at the NBER in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on 16 November 2000, and at a final conference held at the Four Seasons Biltmore Hotel, Santa Barbara, California, on 3-6 May 2001"--Prelim. p. ix.
