"The Art of Economic Persuasion looks at the ways in which government officials use economic instruments for foreign policy gains.".

"Patricia Davis examines the means by which a government can magnify its efforts at economic persuasion by inducing domestic business to increase and sustain commercial economic exchange with the target nation. She demonstrates the domestic conditions under which the state can use commercial economic incentives to achieve foreign policy goals, especially where these incentives are meant to induce cooperative behavior from another state.".

"The Art of Economic Persuasion will be of interest to specialists in international relations, foreign policy, and international political economy, as well as economists, political scientists, and historians of Germany, Poland, the United States, and Cold War relations."--BOOK JACKET.
