OverviewLeonard Seabrooke argues that the key to understanding change in international finance since the 1960s rests with US structural power. He demonstrates how structural power draws from embedded state-societal relations and how the US promotion of direct financing has encouraged Britain, Japan, and Germany to catch up to US-led innovations. In drawing considerably on multi-disciplinary insight, the book should benefit all those who wish to understand more about change in the international political economy.

Accordingly, I can unreservedly recommend it to all students and scholars who are interested in a wider approach to understanding the contemporary world political economy to that found in mainstream IR approaches.' - John M. Hobson, University of Sydney Author InformationLEONARD SEABROOKE works in Government and International Relations, School of Economics and Political Science, at the University of Sydney, and has taught international political economy at the School of Political and International Studies, Flinders University.
