In Open-Economy Politics, Robert Bates explores origins, operations, and collapse of International Coffee Organization, an international government of that was formed in 1960s. In so doing, he addresses key issues in international political economy and comparative politics, and analyzes creation of political institutions and their impact on markets. Drawing upon field work in East Africa, Colombia, and Brazil, Bates explores domestic sources of international politics within a unique theoretical framework that blends game theoretic and more established approaches to study of politics. The book will appeal to those interested in international political economy, comparative politics, and political economy of development, especially in Latin America and Africa, and to readers wanting to learn more about economic and political realities that underlie coffee market. It is also must reading for those interested in the new institutionalism and modern political economy.
