Against the backdrop of a 20-year revolt against free trade orthodoxy byeconomists inside the UN and their impact on policy discussions since the 1960s, theauthors show how the UN both nurtured and inhibited creative and novel intellectualcontributions to the trade and development debate. Presenting a stirring account ofthe main UN actors in this debate, The UN and Global Political Economy focuses onthe accomplishments and struggles of UN economists and the role played by such UNagencies as the Department of Economic (and Social) Affairs, the United NationsCommission on Trade and Development, and the Economic Commission for Latin America(and the Caribbean). It also looks closely at the effects of the Latin American debtcrisis of the 1980s, the growing strength of the World Trade Organization (WTO) inthe 1990s, and the lessons to be drawn from these and other recentdevelopments.
