The Market in Global International Society

The Market in Global International Society by Barry Buzan and Robert Falkner explores the concept and role of the market as a vital institution in international relations over the past two centuries. The authors present a fresh perspective that positions the market as a political ideology supporting a liberal governance system, rather than merely an economic mechanism. By bridging the gap between the English School of International Relations and International Political Economy, the book highlights the market’s significant influence on international order and its intricate relationships with other social and political institutions.
