This project aims to explain recurring international economic instability. While global orders spanning the Classical Gold Standard, Keynesian Bretton Woods institutions, and contemporary Neoliberal order each provided key sources of stability, each also yielded to crises in the 1930s Great Depression, the 1970s Great Stagflation, and the Global Financial Crisis. To explain such instability, this project advances an innovative constructivist argument that ideas which initially enable policymakers to restrain market excesses can over time obscure new sources of instability. Over case studies of these crises, this project will produce high quality publications and contribute to debate over national interests in an era of populist challenge.

这个项目旨在解释反复出现的国际经济不稳定。虽然古典金本位、凯恩斯主义的布雷顿森林体系和当代新自由主义秩序的全球秩序都提供了稳定的关键来源，但每一种秩序也都屈服于20世纪30年代的大萧条、20世纪70年代的大滞胀和全球金融危机。为了解释这种不稳定性，本项目提出了一个创新的建构主义论点，即最初使政策制定者能够抑制市场过度的想法随着时间的推移会掩盖新的不稳定性来源。通过对这些危机的案例研究，该项目将产生高质量的出版物，并有助于在民粹主义挑战的时代就国家利益进行辩论。
