This book examines international trade cooperation in 1815-1914. Basing the theoretical analysis on the domestic political economy of states, Pahre develops theories of international cooperation, the spread of trade cooperation, and the effect of trade regimes. The book examines trade politics in the entire century from 1815 to 1914 around the world, using a database of trade agreements. It will appeal to students of international relations, comparative political economy, economic history, trade law, and international organizations.

Review of the hardback: 'While political scientists and other scholars have studied the post-World War II trade regime in detail, we still know little about the basis of trade cooperation in the past. In this important volume, Robert Pahre sheds new and fascinating light on the nineteenth century trading system. His work will be of great interest to scholars working in many fields and disciplines.' Douglas A. Irwin, Dartmouth College
