Judith Goldstein Boeken
Judith L. Goldstein richt zich op de internationale politieke economie, met een specifieke nadruk op handelspolitiek. Haar onderzoek verkent de politieke vereisten voor handelsliberalisering, waarbij zowel tariefonderhandelingen als publieke voorkeuren worden geanalyseerd. Ze onderzoekt ook hoe economische tegenspoed de publieke opinie beïnvloedt via uitgebreide panelonderzoeken. Haar werk belicht de complexe wisselwerking tussen economie, politiek en publieke opinie binnen de internationale handel.
Ideas and Foreign Policy

Do people's beliefs help to explain foreign policy decisions, or is political activity better understood as the self-interested behavior of key actors? The collaborative effort of a group of distinguished scholars, this volume breaks new ground in demonstrating how ideas can shape policy, even when actors are motivated by rational self-interest.After an introduction outlining a new framework for approaching the role of ideas in foreign policy making, well-crafted case studies test the approach. The function of ideas as road maps that reduce uncertainty is examined in chapters on human rights, decolonialization, the creation of socialist economies in China and Eastern Europe, and the postwar Anglo-American economic settlement. Discussions of parliamentary ideas in seventeenth-century England and of the Single European Act illustrate the role of ideas in resolving problems of coordination. The process by which ideas are institutionalized is further explored in chapters on the Peace of Westphalia and on German and Japanese efforts to cope with contemporary terrorism.
