Global Economic Institutions

GLOBAL ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE SINCE 1944 The Bretton Woods System: aims/institutions/challenges/assessment IMF = International Monetary Fund World Bank GATT = General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade US draw on lessons of 1920s (exchange rate instability & protectionism) Britain focus on 1930s (unemployment & financial collapse) Common goals & US dynamism created a coherent framework Was BW a US geopolitical plan to eliminate Britain as a rival? Who’s left out of the system? USSR signs but doesn’t join GATT signed in 1947 – adaptable and successful IMF – rigid rules with moderate success World Bank – least successful due to lack of developing world representation The US played a dominant role with the agreement to make the dollar the currency of reference. How did this work?

$35 per ounce of gold US $ = reserve currency Fixed rates of exchange All other currencies are ‘pegged’ to the dollar 1971 – Nixon Shock = end of convertibility $ to gold

Harry Dexter White & John Maynard Keynes
