Joseph M. Grieco – författare

Professors Grieco and Ikenberry focus on the dynamic, reciprocal relationships between states and world markets, articulating the ways in which their interactions shape the world economy today.  Intellectually challenging yet perfectly pitched to the undergraduate student, written by experts in the field, and combining the best of current political and economic theory, State Power and World Markets will enrich and further focus the undergraduate study of international relations.

Between Dependency and Autonomy offers a compelling exploration of India''s evolving relationship with the international computer industry between 1960 and 1980, showcasing a significant shift in power dynamics. Joseph M. Grieco presents a thorough analysis of how India increased its capacity to manage and negotiate with high-tech multinational corporations, challenging the long-standing imbalance between developing countries and advanced capitalist enterprises. Grieco''s study not only documents this shift in power but also provides a critical evaluation of two competing schools of thought. One perspective argues that developing countries can significantly improve their bargaining power with multinationals, while the other suggests that these nations remain perpetually disadvantaged. Using India''s experience with computer firms as a pivotal case, Between Dependency and Autonomy offers valuable insights into how developing nations can assert greater control in their interactions with global industries. This groundbreaking work is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and professionals interested in international relations, economic development, and the global technology landscape. It highlights India''s success in reshaping its relationship with multinational firms, offering a blueprint for other developing countries seeking to enhance their autonomy in the international economic system.

In Cooperation among Nations, Joseph M. Grieco offers a provocative answer to a fundamental question in world politics: How does the anarchical nature of the international system inhibit the willingness of states to work together even when they share common interests?Grieco examines the capacity of two leading contemporary theories—modem political realism and the newest liberal institutionalism—to explain national responses to the non-tariff barrier codes negotiated during the Tokyo Round of international trade talks. According to his interpretation of realist theory, Grieco characterizes states as "defensive positionalists." As such, they often fail to cooperate because they fear that a joint endeavor, while producing positive gains for all participants, might also generate disparities in gains among the partners involved. Grieco demonstrates that this realist concept of defensive state positionalism gives rise to a better understanding of the systemic constraints on international collaboration and of the impact of anarchy on states than is offered by neoliberal institutionalism. Drawing on previously unreported archival materials, Grieco rigorously applies the two theories to an empirical analysis of the cooperative efforts of the United States and the European Community during the 1980s to regulate and reduce non-tariff trade barriers through the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
