Books by Rawi Abdelal

In this intellectual, legal, and political history of financial globalization, Abdelal argues that European policy makers promoted the liberal rules that compose the international financial architecture, while U.S. policy makers have tended to embrace unilateral, ad hoc globalization.

Drawing on field research in Lithuania, Ukraine, and Belarus, Rawi Abdelal provides an in-depth look at the link between national identity and the economic policies of the new states formed by the breakup of the Soviet Union.
