ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a working definition of internationalization while laying out an analytical scheme for mapping the domestic impact of both material-economic and normative dimensions of internationalization. It derives three ideal-typical domestic coalitions; outlines their respective grand strategies; and develops a set of expectations about their regional effects. Internationalizing grand strategies include adjusting the domestic political economy to the requirements of internationalization; weakening opponents; and securing access to foreign markets, capital, investments, and technology. Cooperative regional orders serve this strategy well as doe's macroeconomic stability, which reduces uncertainty, encourages savings, and enhances investment. The evidence also supports hypothesized synergies across domestic, regional, and global pillars of a "grand strategy". Internationalizes are more prone to deepen trade openness, expand exports, attract foreign direct investment(FDI), tame profligate military-industrial complexes, initiate fewer international crises, eschew weapon of mass destructions (WMDs), defer to international economic and security regimes, and strive for regional cooperative orders that reinforce those objectives.
