Multinational Order
US multinational firms are crucial actors that shape and sustain the rules of the world order. They inherit the advantages conferred by US informal power and generally guide the substance of US foreign economic policy. When they expand abroad to take advantage of the opportunities provided by international rules, their foreign investments anchor their interests and lead them to build political influence. Multinationals do not always win; but the main constraints on their power arise within the US political system. They generally prevail when they credibly link their private interests to public interests and generally fail when their profits clash with prevailing elite views of national security. This book presents sophisticated economics in readable terms and traces a detailed history of the emergence of order in trade, finance, decolonization, development, property rights and intervention since 1945 and into the twenty-first century.

So why does walking away feel impossible?--Praise for Soon by You:"I came for the sexy opposites-attract romance, stayed for the joyous celebration of Jewish life and community, and fell hard for Judah, Ari, and their journey toward one another but also toward finding themselves. Soon by You somehow manages to be both sizzlingly hot and meltingly sweet at the same time; the only thing I disliked about the book was that it had to end. I can't wait for more hot Jewish romance from Dahlia Adler!" - Amanda Elliot, USA Today bestselling author of Love You a Latke"Soon By You paints a funny, sexy, emotional portrait of the journey two people take as they learn they are, in fact, in love. There are obstacles, including the matchmaking family and friends that simultaneously bring them together as often as they drive them apart. And in Dahlia Adler's expert hands, romance readers will find themselves enjoying every page, and yet not wanting this epic romance to end. I cannot wait to read more of Dahlia Adler's adult romances." - Stacey Agdern, award-winning author of The B'Nai Mitzvah Mistake"I was not expecting a modern orthodox romance to suck me in the way Soon By You did. I fell completely head over heels in love with Ari and Judah and now, I’m obsessed. I want eight sequels. Real, honest, hilarious, and steamy, this book has it all!" - Sara Goodman Confino, bestselling author of Don’t Forget to Write
