Retreat of the State

In "Retreat of the State," esteemed author Susan Strange delves deep into the intricate dynamics of global power and economics. Published in 1996 by Cambridge University Press, this compelling paperback features 240 pages of insightful analysis that challenges conventional beliefs about state sovereignty. Strange makes a bold argument that, in today's world, it is not merely governments that wield influence over the economy; rather, big businesses, drug lords, and accountants play significant roles in shaping international relations. As a professor and leading thinker in her field, Strange invites readers to explore the implications of these interactions and suggests important new directions for business and economics. This thought-provoking work is essential for anyone interested in understanding the future of state power in our increasingly interconnected world.
