The themes in this book concern former Soviet-type societies: 1) Is the capitalist world system willing and able to absorb these newcomers or are they condemned to 'Third-worldization'? 2) Is the neoliberal advice of simultaneous political democratization and economic liberalization a viable path? 3) Is the East Asian model of authoritarianism and governed markets a better option? 4) Can the revolution of rising expectations be harnessed into a new structure of accumulation based on class polarisations? 5) Are there lessons in Chinese market-socialism?

Trade and Growth: New Dilemmas in Trade Policy
ISBN: 9780333599181 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a timely re-examination of the role of trade policy in development strategies. Through insightful analyses and five country studies of semi-industrialized economies, it shows that sustained growth performance is associated with policies geared to the creation of competitiveness in new sectors, rather than to the exploitation of current comparative advantages. This has required selectivity in trade policy and an activist exchange rate policy. The book also places the current trade policy debates in the context of the international policy environment that is emerging in an...

The Politics of Economic Reform in Zimbabwe: Continuity and Change in Development
ISBN: 9781349137688 / Angielski / Miękka / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1990 Zimbabwe embarked on economic liberalisation. The country's economic associations, notably that erstwhile proponent of protectionism, the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries, had successfully lobbied for gradual reform. While state autonomy has often been regarded as a vital condition for reform, in Zimbabwe societal groups have induced an initially recalcitrant government to reconsider its basic policies. After 1980 the government tried to limit political competition. However, because of the perceived need for racial reconciliation following the guerrilla war, it maintained dialogue...

Public Debt and Private Wealth: Debt, Capital Flight and the IMF in Sudan
ISBN: 9781349222247 / Angielski / Miękka / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study analyses the IMF's role in sub-Saharan foreign debt and structural adjustment issues. A detailed analysis concentrating upon Sudan disproves assumptions about the IMF's capacity to enforce its much-touted, tough policy conditions, and about the inability of defaulting countries to maintain capital inflows, even when in arrears to the IMF itself. The study also examines IMF and World Bank analysis and the efficacy of their policies given the substantial unrecorded foreign exchange inflows and outflows associated with unofficial migrant remittances, the parallel economy and capital...

Financial Services, Globalization and Domestic Policy Change
ISBN: 9781349247165 / Angielski / Miękka / 297 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The global scope of the changes in the international financial and monetary systems ensured that no nation-state could protect itself from their effects. The quarter-century, 1970-95, included the most extensive legislative overhaul of financial services policy since the Great Depression, if not the greatest set of changes ever. This book examines how five such states - Canada, France, Germany, UK, USA - adapted by reforming their financial services policies.

Capital Beyond Borders: States and Firms in the Auto Industry, 1960-94
ISBN: 9781349254743 / Angielski / Miękka / 191 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book challenges the established wisdom regarding the balance of bargaining power between multinational corporations and host governments. Most theories, beginning with Raymond Vernon's, claim that the bargaining power of host states should increase over time. This work shows the opposite is true, at least for the automobile industry in the industrialized world. The reason for this is the growing mobility of production, which undercuts host states' bargaining positions. Capital mobility is thus central to both firm-state relations and IPE generally.

In this book, Ferdi De Ville and Mattias Vermeiren examine the linkages between the economic crisis in the euro area and the rise of Brazil, India and China (BICs) in the global monetary and trading system.
