INTR9017 Problems of the International Financial and Trade System

2018

1 x 4-day intensive workshop yearly

This topic is only available offshore.

Master of Arts (International Relations in Economy and Trade) by coursework

This topic investigates the origins, institutional underpinnings and logic of development of the post-war trading and financial systems (generally known as 'the Bretton Woods System'). Primary attention is given to the intersection between this system and the Cold War environment in which it operated, and to latter-day arguments about 'the death of Bretton Woods' touched off by the 1971 abandonment of fixed exchange rates. Considerable attention is also given to the particular case of oil and the implications of successive oil price shocks for the trade and payments systems.
