| Abstract: | What is the position of the UK economy in the international system? In this article the authors draw attention to the peculiarities of the UK case as compared to the other G7 economies. The authors argue that the UK represents an 'over-internationalized economy in an under-globalized world'. Far from the UK lagging behind a rapidly integrating world economy, it is way ahead of the game. The historical nature of the UK's heavy engagement with the international system os highlighted and the contemporary significance of its integration is analysed. |
