ISBN: 9780521679787 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Negotiations between governments shape the world political economy and in turn the lives of people everywhere.

Privileging Industry : The Comparative Politics of Trade and Industrial Policy
ISBN: 9780691027708 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Why do some industries win substantial protection from the whims of international trade while others do not? Privileging Industry challenges standard approaches to this question in its examination of when governments use trade and industrial policy for political goals. Fiona McGillivray shows why aiding an industry can be a politically efficient way for a government to redistribute resources from one industrial sector to another. Taking a comparative perspective that stands in contrast with the usual focus on U.S. trade politics, she explores, for example, how electoral rules, party...

ISBN: 9780691133782 / Angielski / Miękka / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych.

Challenging the widespread assumption that RTAs should be seen as fundamentally similar economic initiatives to pursue free trade, Francesco Duina proposes that the world is reorganizing itself into regions that are highly distinctive and enduring. With evidence from Europe, North America, and South America, he challenges our understanding of globalization, the nature of markets, and the spread of neoliberalism. The pursuit of free trade...

ISBN: 9780739116555 / Angielski / Twarda / 125 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Trade and Development in a Globalized World examines how the unfair trade regulations of advanced countries affect developing societies. The most prominent of these regulations are those pertaining to dumping and subsidies. As antidumping and antisubsidy laws have proliferated, they have increasingly undermined the trade-related development strategies of poor countries. To determine how developing states attempt to cope with the problems created by unfair trade rules, Rothgeb and Chinapandhu conducted a case study of the Thai U.S. trade relationship. The results, revealed here, show that...
