Shaping and Reshaping the Global Monetary Order during the Interwar Period and beyond Local Actors in-between the International Institutions

This volume explores the progressive establishment of a global monetary order within the development of market mechanisms during the interwar period. Reference is made to the emergence of disintegrating policies under the impact of the Great Depression. Furthermore, it discusses how the global monetary mechanisms developed after World War II. The volume focuses on the interaction between local actors –as policymakers at national or peripheral level– and the global economic institutions -as producers of a financial “engineering” process.
