United States foreign economic policy-making

Published in 1987 by Garland Publishing, this academic monograph serves as a rigorous examination of the structural and institutional mechanisms governing United States foreign economic policy. The work emerged from the intellectual climate of the mid-1980s, a period defined by shifting global trade paradigms, the rise of newly industrialized economies, and the ongoing debate regarding the efficacy of American bureaucratic processes in managing international fiscal relations.

Kenneth A. Gold authored this text to provide a systematic analysis of how diverse domestic interests and governmental branches reconcile to produce coherent international economic strategies. As part of a broader series focused on political science and public policy, the book was intended for an audience of scholars and policy analysts. Its reception within the academic community has been marked by its utility as a foundational resource for understanding the complexities of the American administrative state during the late Cold War era.
