Abstract
The political movements that began in the mid-1980s changed the world profoundly. The Soviet Union disintegrated; the Cold War terminated; freedom was spreading; market forces were becoming ever more dominant. Just a taste of the influence of these developments on the IMU can be given in this presentation, which only occasionally extends beyond the year 1990.
