Democracies are facing a drawn-out contest with authoritarian states that is entangling much of public policy with global security issues. In \u003ci\u003eGlobal Discord\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Tucker lays out principles for a sustainable system of international cooperation, showing how democracies can deal with China and other illiberal states without sacrificing their deepest political values. Drawing on three decades as a central banker and regulator, Tucker applies these principles to the international monetary order, including the role of the U.S. dollar, trade and investment regimes, and the financial system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining history, economics, and political and legal philosophy, Tucker offers a new account of international relations. Rejecting intellectual traditions that go back to Hobbes, Kant, and Grotius, and deploying instead ideas from David Hume, Bernard Williams, and modern mechanism-design economists, Tucker describes a new kind of political realism that emphasizes power and interests without sidelining morality. Incentives must be aligned with values if institutions are to endure. The connecting tissue for a system of international cooperation, he writes, should be legitimacy, creating a world of concentric circles in which we cooperate more with those with whom we share the most and whom we fear the least.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Tucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691232083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691232089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.60d","brand":"Paul Tucker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44809730130175,"sku":"9780691232089","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70936324-b800-47af-9ce7-8c76c7704563.jpg?v=1707927319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-discord-paul-tucker-9780691232089","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
