ISBN: 9780822958437 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conventional wisdom holds that free trade is economically beneficial to nations.

Michael Lusztig's theoretical model focuses on a process by which protectionists can be pushed to restructure and compete in a global economy. In this process, a small cutback in...

Agricultural Trade Policy in Developing Countries During Take-Off
ISBN: 9780855985844 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Agricultural trade has always been one of the most sensitive international trade issues. Governments around the world have long been reluctant to abandon policy instruments that give them influence over domestic prices and allow them to raise revenues. The most commonly cited justification for government intervention in agricultural trade is food security, since if domestic prices are too high, poor consumers will not be able to buy enough food, and if they are not high enough, producers will not produce enough food. The food security argument is stronger in some countries (e.g. food-insecure...

ISBN: 9780855985851 / Angielski / Miękka / 63 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The cost to consumers of "special" protection aside from textiles...

Power and Resistance in the New World Order
ISBN: 9781403903907 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This struggle is reflected in the questions of American supremacy, the power of capital, market civilization and surveillance power. Thus new forms of political agency and collective action are emerging to challenge dominant powers.
