1971年8月,尼克松总统宣布美国将“关闭黄金窗口”,结束了战后国际汇率稳定体系,并引发了一段时期的重大不确定性和全球机构的转型。尽管这一关键的历史事件对于理解历史上的“新自由主义”和制度变迁很重要,但现代社会学的观点却很少被应用于此。本文的分析使用档案数据表明,关闭黄金窗口从来都不是尼克松政府的目标或首选策略,他们花了数年时间准备更为温和的改革。尽管如此,美国决策者还是将这一单边行动视为实现短期目标的应急计划,因为他们知道这将极大地改变国际经济的运行。令人惊讶的是,国际货币基金组织的自主结构并没有引导美国的倡议逐步演变,而是帮助决定了战略的根本变化。
In August of 1971, President Nixon announced that the United States was “closing the gold window,” bringing an end to the postwar system of international exchange rate stability and precipitating a period of significant uncertainty and transformation in global institutions. Although this critical historical episode is important for an understanding of historical “neoliberalism” and institutional change, modern sociological perspectives have scarcely been applied to it. The present analysis uses archival data to show that closing the gold window was never the goal or preferred strategy of the Nixon administration, which had spent years preparing much more modest reforms. Nevertheless, US policymakers took this unilateral action as a contingency plan to achieve a short-term goal, knowing that it would dramatically change the functioning of the international economy. Surprisingly, the autonomous structure of the IMF did not channel US initiatives toward gradual evolution but rather helped determine a radical change in strategy.
