Abstract
In the last chapter, we considered the main ideas that have been held at different times concerning international economic relationships. In many cases, these ideas have reflected the interests of particular groups, or particular states, in each period. We now need to look in greater detail at the balance of influence within states in each of these periods; and to consider in particular how certain groups have been able to impose their own conception of national interest on the states to which they belonged: in other words, how the collectivisation of interests has been achieved within the international economy.
