Why do states cooperate during international financial crises? A prominent account of such phenomena is provided by the Open Economy Politics approach, which advocates a methodological reductionism that focuses on domestic interests and institutions as explanatory drivers of foreign economic policy. I argue that the appropriateness and utility of this approach diminishes in two important contexts: when levels of economic interdependence and international institutionalization are both high; and when international insecurity is rising. Since the second condition has greater generality in international relations, I test it by focusing on a period when international economic institutionalization was much lower than today: the pre-1914 gold standard system. I show that as levels of interstate rivalry and insecurity rose in the years before 1914, so too did the role of strategic considerations in the international financial policies of the major European powers. The utility of the Open Economy Politics approach for explaining foreign financial policy is therefore contingent on an evolving international context. The argument is of considerable relevance to the contemporary era, when a rapidly evolving international political environment is again reshaping international financial policies.

"Die vielfältigen Regelungen des 'Arbeitsvölkerrechts', die auf UN-Ebene wie auf europäische Ebene existieren, enthalten vergleichsweise hohe Schutzstandards. Ihre innerstaatliche Umsetzung stößt weniger auf juristische als auf faktische Schwierigkeiten. Für die Gewerkschaften stellt sich die wichtige Aufgabe, sich nachhaltig für die Einlösung der in Pakten, Konventionen usw. enthaltenen Ansprüche einzusetzen. Wenn Regierungen den Normen des Internationalen Arbeitsrechts primär 'Aushängeschildfunktion' zuweisen, heißt dies nicht, daß es auf alle Zeiten dabei bleiben müßte. Insbesondere dort, wo kein Widerspruch zum deutschen System der industrial relations besteht, lassen sich auch in der gerichtlichen wie der außergerichtlichen Praxis Fortschritte erreichen."

From January 13 to March 26, 1953, the eighteenth session of the Council of the International Civil AviationOrganization met in Montreal. Activities at this session were predominantly concerned with matters pertaining to the seventh session of the ICAO Assembly, which was scheduled to open in June in Brighton, England. It was decided that invitations to the Assembly should be extended to Japan and Libya, invitations were also approved for those international organizations which had been invited to the fourth session of the Assembly and to the Organization of American States and the Council of Europe, and supporting documentation for items on the Assembly agenda was approved. On the recommendation of the Finance Committee a total budget for the organization for the fiscal year 1954 of Canadian $3,289,606 was approved for submission to the Assembly. Assessments for 1953 were then fixed at two units each for Korea and Libya, the two newest members of the organization.
