Susan Strange
Susan Strange (June 9, 1923, Dorset October 25, 1998, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire) was a British scholar of international relations who was "almost single-handedly responsible for creating international political economy".[1] Notable publications include Casino Capitalism (1986), States and Markets (1988), The Retreat of the State (1996), and Mad Money (1998).
Career
Susan Strange earned a first in Economics at the London School of Economics(LSE) in 1943; it would be twenty years before she established her reputation as an academic. She raised a family of six and worked as a financial journalist for The Economist, then The Observer until 1965, when she began to conduct full-time research. She remained a full-time researcher at Chatham House (formerly The Royal Institute of International Affairs).[1][2] From 1978 to 1988, she served as the Montague Burton Professor of International Relations at LSE, and was the first woman at LSE to hold this chair and Portrait of Susan Strange in 1980. professorship. She served as Professor of International Political Economy at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy from 1989 to 1994. She also taught in Japan. She was a major figure in the professional associations in both Britain and the United States. She was an instrumental founding member and the first treasurer of the British International Studies Association and served as the first female President of the International Studies Association in 1995.
Susan Strange considered nation states inflexible, limited by territorial boundaries in a world of fragile intergovernmental cooperation; "Westfailure" is what she called Westphalia. Markets would be able to flout regulations and reign free, creating more uncertainty and risk in an already chaotic environment.
