ABSTRACT
This is a book about how states conduct their international economic relations at the start of the 21st century: how they make decisions domestically; how they negotiate with each other internationally; and how these two processes interact.While states are at the centre of this study, it also includes non-state actors, whose influence on decision-making has grown over the years. This book focuses on the methods and process of decision-making and negotiation, rather than the content of policy. It is not intended to be a manual for negotiators, but rather to explain why governments and other actors in economic diplomacy behave in the way they do.
