Introduction to Open-Economy Politics: The Political Economy of the World Coffee Trade

Robert Bates

A chapter in Open-Economy Politics: The Political Economy of the World Coffee Trade, 1998 from Princeton University Press

Abstract: Coffee is traded in one of the few international markets ever subject to effective political regulation. In Open-Economy Politics, Robert Bates explores the origins, the operations, and the collapse of the International Coffee Organization, an international "government of coffee" that was formed in the 1960s. In so doing, he addresses key issues in international political economy and comparative politics, and analyzes the creation of political institutions and their impact on markets. Drawing upon field work in East Africa, Colombia, and Brazil, Bates explores the domestic sources of international politics within a unique theoretical framework that blends game theoretic and more established approaches to the study of politics.
