Open States in the Global Economy: The Political Economy of Small-State Macroeconomic Management

by Jonathon W. Moses

In response to the largely closed-economy assumptions of most cross-national work on economic policy-making, this book offers an outside-in framework for analyzing the way in which national economic sovereignty is affected by globalization. This framework is then applied to a detailed case study of Norway economic policy in the postwar period. The OPEN State framework offers a new way to interpret how external changes affect domestic policy-makers and their preferences.
