Abstract

In examining the defects of multilateralism, this chapter critiques the foundations of the international monetary system for marginalizing the interests of developing countries. The various counter-movements that advanced the case for recognition of developing countries’ interests in the 1960s and 1970s bore testimony to the structural exclusion of developing countries in agenda-setting of multilateral institutions. This exclusion took the form of foreclosing substantive discussions on the relationship between monetary institutions and economic development concerns of developing countries. This chapter shows how the outlines of this structural exclusion have persisted to the present development.
