This book repositions the groundbreaking Bretton Woods conference of July 1944 as the first large-scale multilateral North-South dialogue on global financial governance. It moves beyond the usual focus on Anglo-American interests by highlighting the influence of delegations from Latin America, India, the Soviet Union, France, and others. It also investigates how state and private interests intermingled, collided, and compromised during the negotiations on the way to a set of regulations and institutions that still partly frame global economic governance in the early twenty-first century. Together, these essays lay the groundwork for a more comprehensive analysis of Bretton Woods as a pivotal site of multilateralism in international history.

Together, these essays lay the groundwork for a more comprehensive analysis of Bretton Woods as a pivotal site of multilateralism in international history.

Presents the first truly global history of the Bretton Woods conference Highlights figures and groups who are key yet rarely studied in relation to Bretton Woods, such as Cordell Hull, Dean Acheson, and the Federal Reserve Argues that the Bretton Woods negotiations linked financial and trade interests and so laid the basis for a post-war free trade regime Appeals to scholars of international, diplomatic, and economic history Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
