Economic Nationalism

Grant Year: 2017

Monica de Bolle and Jeromin Zettelmeyer will research and write a book exploring the rise of economic nationalism and the challenge it poses to policy frameworks grounded in free markets and globalization. They will undertake twelve to fifteen case studies of countries that adopted strategies based on economic nationalism during the past ninety years. They will describe the components of these economic strategies, examine economic data and analyses of the resulting economic performance, and interview scholars, officials, and experts familiar with the cases.
