The world has changed with the end of the Cold War. While multinational businesses continue to extend their operations in increasingly globalized markets, governments and international agencies try to reassert their control by regulating cross-border activities in production, finance, trade and environmental protection. In some areas international co-operation works well, but in others, disintegration prevails. This study features an international group of contributors who explore emerging trends in the international political economy and the prospects for new world orders. Roger Morgan has also written "The United States and West Germany: A Study in Alliance Politics", "Britain and West Germany: Changing Societies and the Future of Foreign Policy" and "Partners and Rivals in Western Europe". The contributors include: R.W. Cox, M.H. Allen, A. Arantes Jr, A.F.K. Organski, B. Bueno De Mesquita, P. Ellehoj, B. Verbeek, M. De Cecco, M.G. Gilman, L.W. Pauly, S. Enkyo, V.C. Price, R. Dore, W. Deckers, J.M. Stopford, R. Higgins, C. Cragg, A.F.M. De Bievre, I.J. Koppen, S. Davies, D.P. Calleo, I. Grunberg, L. Tsoukalis, J. Odlander, G. Merritt.
