The Rules of the Game in the Global Economy

Abstract

The most extensive and complex international economic regimes that have evolved during the postwar period are those governing trade, currency exchange, and financial relationships among and between the economically active countries of the world. For most of the period, the former USSR and its satellites were not formal participants in these regimes, although they have never been entirely excluded. It now appears that most of them are, or will soon become, actively involved. In any event, the great bulk of world commerce and financial activity has been governed by these regimes, and they should therefore be considered global in character. Although their functional scope is limited, their effects on the entire system of international business and economic activity are complex and pervasive.
