Career
Goldstein has been an author or an editor of 6 books. She was the sole author of the 1994 book Ideas, Interests, and American Trade Policy. The book studies the history of American trade policy up to the Presidency of Ronald Reagan. Henry R. Nau wrote that Ideas, Interests, and American Trade Policy argues that these policies "cannot be explained satisfactorily solely in terms of international structural or domestic economic interests", and instead seeks to understand the origins of these policies in terms of "ideas, as well as interests".{{cite journal |first=Henry R. |last=Nau |title=Reviewed Work(s): Ideas, Interests, and American Trade Policy by Judith Goldstein |journal=The American Political Science Review |volume=89 |issue=1 |date=March 1995 |pages=252–253|doi=10.2307/2083148 |jstor=2083148 |s2cid=151406468 }} Thomas W. Zeiler summarised this proposed interaction, writing that Goldstein persuasively argues that "ideas give the pursuit of materialism and power greater credence and, most important, explain the curious anomalies in American trade policy".{{cite journal |first=Thomas W. |last=Zeiler |title=Reviewed Work(s): Ideas, Interests, and American Trade Policy. by Judith Goldstein |journal=The Journal of Economic History |volume=54 |issue=3 |date=September 1994 |pages=725–727|doi=10.1017/S0022050700015370 |s2cid=153603982 }}
Among the books that she has co-edited is Legalization and World Politics, which seeks to develop a common framework for International Relations and International Law scholarship to understand how international law operates in and affects international affairs.{{cite journal |first=Jutta |last=Brunnée |author-link=Jutta Brunnée |title=Reviewed Work(s): Legalization and World Politics |journal=Perspectives on Politics |volume=1 |issue=1 |date=March 2003 |pages=231–232}} Goldstein also co-edited the 2010 Sage series International Institutions with the law professor Richard Steinberg.{{cite web |url=https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/international-institutions/book233181 |title=International Institutions |publisher=SAGE publications |access-date=23 February 2020}}
