Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 2007.

This dissertation examines two states, Japan and Argentina, seeking to establish themselves economically and politically at the turn of the twentieth century through adoption of the emerging global currency system---the gold standard. The dissertation explores the reasons why Japan and Argentina adopted the particular systems they did, the historical context in which that adoption occurred, and the ways in which those systems, and the context they arose from, differed substantially from the view of turn-of-the-century globalization that emerged in the 1920s and reappeared in the 1990s. Rather than representing an age of cosmopolitanism, liberal economics, and market-based fervor, the gold standard at the turn of the twentieth century---and economic policy in Japan and Argentina---rested above all on a desire to promote industry and empire through protectionism, currency devaluation, and state-sponsored military spending.

520 $a This dissertation examines two states, Japan and Argentina, seeking to establish themselves economically and politically at the turn of the twentieth century through adoption of the emerging global currency system---the gold standard. The dissertation explores the reasons why Japan and Argentina adopted the particular systems they did, the historical context in which that adoption occurred, and the ways in which those systems, and the context they arose from, differed substantially from the view of turn-of-the-century globalization that emerged in the 1920s and reappeared in the 1990s. Rather than representing an age of cosmopolitanism, liberal economics, and market-based fervor, the gold standard at the turn of the twentieth century---and economic policy in Japan and Argentina---rested above all on a desire to promote industry and empire through protectionism, currency devaluation, and state-sponsored military spending.
520 $a For Argentina the primary goal in adopting the gold standard was industrial expansion through currency devaluation as part of a broader governmental consensus in favor of industrial promotion and protectionism. In Japan, the preference for gold as a means for devaluation, export promotion, and import substitution existed as well, but the government's adoption of gold rested foremost on the desire for military-use imports and foreign loans with which to finance imperial expansion and Great Power warfare.
520 $a Despite this central place of the global gold standard in an age of protectionism and militarism, industry and empire, the nature of the turn-of-the-century global economy---and of its gold-standard centerpiece---became obscured in the 1920s as states reimagined the prewar years as an embodiment of laissez-faire political economy and hard-money currency regimes. In so doing, governments turned what thirty years earlier had been an expansionary gold standard into a contractionary one, and with it set the stage for the Great Depression of the 1930s.
