Book Synopsis Federalism and Free Trade by : Jean Luc Migué
Download or read book Federalism and Free Trade written by Jean Luc Migué and published by London : Institute of Economic Affairs. This book was released on 1993 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protectionism has become less and less of a viable instrument of intervention by national governments, particularly for member-states of common markets. This Hobart Paper provides a formal framework for analysing the effect on domestic policy choices of constraining the power of national governments to maintain trade barriers, as experienced in GATT-type arrangements, in common-market treaties, and in other free-trade agreements within blocs of trading partners. The author argues that the government of a national economy with free inward and outward movement of factors and goods, has little or no power to engage in purely redistributive policies. The member governments of a common market are in a position approximating that of the government of a small economy, free of trade barriers. Federalism and free trade go hand in hand inasmuch as they both strengthen governments' power to do good, while restricting their power to abuse citizens. The paper attempts to show that the opening of national frontiers to freer movement of goods, services, capital, and people will result in less use of other instruments of intervention in domestic affairs. Less reliance on protectionism by national governments will have an impact similar to reinforcing devolution of power within federal states. Imposing heavier taxes and restrictive regulations on national resources in conditions of free trade leads first to more rapid and more pronounced substitution of foreign for local production. It also causes capital to move out of higher-cost economies. Finally, victims of government abuse may 'vote with their feet' and leave the territory. Freer trade is a first step and a sufficient condition towards the federalisation of the world. However, this competitive federalist model only works if national and local decisions are not superseded by vast central powers covering the same fields within trade blocs or at the supra-national level. As a tool for cartelising national and regional governments, centralisation weakens the ability of citizens to escape unpopular measures by moving their goods or their production factors to more favourable locations and uses.
Book Synopsis Free Trade Agreements and the New Federalism by : Charles Tiefer
Download or read book Free Trade Agreements and the New Federalism written by Charles Tiefer and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article describes several stages of the new legal system of federalism and federal trade law. First, is discusses the old paradigm of trade law, expounded by the Supreme Court in its Supreme 1979 Japan Line decision. There, the Court held that the Federal Government must be unified when it regulates commercial relations with foreign governments. In the 1980s, the Court's approach moved toward a quot;market participationquot; approach, which exalted states' rights by allowing them to engage in private businesses with the entity of its choice. In discussing the consequences of this trend toward states' rights in the context of free trade, the author analyzes how states' rights affected both the Uruguay Round negotiations and the implementation of NAFTA. He notes that state interference in these bills created a complex remedial process for aggrieved foreign businesses, and discusses how the Court's creation and promotion of a quot;weakquot; preemption resulted in delays and deferrals within the free trade world. To resolve these issues, the author proposes a new system of quot;dual sovereigntyquot;. In this system, the federal and state governments work together to craft a free trade agreement. The President, acting as a broker between competing states, helps resolve issues and ensure that no one state will be able to frustrate international agreements by non compliance.

Book Synopsis Globalization and Institutional Adjustment by : Axel Hülsemeyer
Download or read book Globalization and Institutional Adjustment written by Axel Hülsemeyer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining the disciplines of international political economy, public sector economics and comparative politics, this stimulating book debates whether federalism obstructs institutional adjustment under conditions of a globalized economy, or whether this depends upon the extent to which a given political system is centralized. Axel Hülsemeyer analyzes the ratification of the Single European Act and the Maastricht Treaty, and contrasts these with the implementation of the bilateral free trade agreement between the United States and Canada as well as the NAFTA. Preferential trade agreements themselves are conceptualized as the state response to economic globalization.

Book Synopsis Foreign Affairs Federalism by : Michael J. Glennon
Download or read book Foreign Affairs Federalism written by Michael J. Glennon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging the myth that the federal government exercises exclusive control over U.S. foreign-policymaking, Michael J. Glennon and Robert D. Sloane propose that we recognize the prominent role that states and cities now play in that realm. Foreign Affairs Federalism provides the first comprehensive study of the constitutional law and practice of federalism in the conduct of U.S. foreign relations. It could hardly be timelier. States and cities recently have limited greenhouse gas emissions, declared nuclear free zones and sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants, established thousands of sister-city relationships, set up informal diplomatic offices abroad, and sanctioned oppressive foreign governments. Exploring the implications of these and other initiatives, this book argues that the national interest cannot be advanced internationally by Washington alone. Glennon and Sloane examine in detail the considerable foreign affairs powers retained by the states under the Constitution and question the need for Congress or the president to step in to provide "one voice" in foreign affairs. They present concrete, realistic ways that the courts can update antiquated federalism precepts and untangle interwoven strands of international law, federal law, and state law. The result is a lucid, incisive, and up-to-date analysis of the rules that empower-and limit-states and cities abroad.

Book Synopsis The Multilevel Politics of Trade by : Jorg Broschek
Download or read book The Multilevel Politics of Trade written by Jorg Broschek and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Multilevel Politics of Trade presents a timely comparative analysis of eight federations (plus the European Union) to explore why some sub-federal actors have become more active in trade politics in recent years. As the contributing authors find, there is considerable variation in the intensity and modes of sub-federal participation. This they attribute to three key factors: the distinctive institutional features of federal systems; the nature and scope of trade policy and trade agreements; and the extent of social mobilization that accompanies a particular trade policy conversation. As a whole, The Multilevel Politics of Trade argues that sub-federal actors’ interests (jurisdictional, political, and economic) are what motivate them to participate in trade debates. However, institutional configurations, coupled with the influence of civil society actors, political parties, and others determine the nature and scope of that participation. Informed by a deep knowledge of federal dynamics, this volume provides extensive comparative analyses of all seven of the North American and European federations and represents a significant intervention into the study of both federalism and political economy.

Download or read book Borders and Margins written by Guy Lachapelle and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory and concept of multi-level governance (MLG) is a fairly recent one, emerging from the deepening integration of the European Union in the early 1990s and the development of free trade agreements around the world. MLG enlarges the traditional approaches, namely those of neo-institutionalism and multinational federalism, by offering a better understanding of the role of the state, regions and provinces. The book analyses the changes that have taken place as well as those that might take place in the future.

Book Synopsis The Price of Federalism by : Paul E. Peterson
Download or read book The Price of Federalism written by Paul E. Peterson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the price of federalism? Does it result in governmental interconnections that are too complex? Does it create overlapping responsibilities? Does it perpetuate social inequalities? Does it stifle economic growth? To answer these questions, Paul Peterson sets forth two theories of federalism: functional and legislative. Functional theory is optimistic. It says that each level of the federal system is well designed to carry out the tasks for which it is mainly responsible. State and local governments assume responsibility for their area's physical and social development; the national government cares for the needy and reduces economic inequities. Legislative theory, in contrast, is pessimistic: it says that national political leaders, responding to electoral pressures, misuse their power. They shift unpopular burdens to lower levels of government while spending national dollars on popular government programs for which they can claim credit. Both theories are used to explain different aspects of American federalism. Legislative theory explains why federal grants have never been used to equalize public services. Elected officials cannot easily justify to their constituents a vote to shift funds away from the geographic area they represent. The overall direction that American federalism has taken in recent years is better explained by functional theory. As the costs of transportation and communication have declined, labor and capital have become increasingly mobile, placing states and localities in greater competition with one another. State and local governments are responding to these changes by overlooking the needs of the poor, focusing instead on economic development. As a further consequence, older, big cities of the Rust Belt, inefficient in their operations and burdened by social responsibilities, are losing jobs and population to the suburban communities that surround them. Peterson recommends that the national government adopt p

Book Synopsis Risking Free Trade by : Michael Lusztig
Download or read book Risking Free Trade written by Michael Lusztig and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few issues as politically explosive as the liberalization of trade, as recent controversies in the United States, Canada, and Mexico have shown. While loosening trade restrictions may make sense for a nation’s economy as a whole, it typically alienates powerful vested interests. Those interests can exact severe political costs for the government that enacts change. So why accept the risk? Michael Lusztig contructs a model to determine why and under what conditions governments will take the free trade gamble. Lusztig uses his model to explain shifts to free trade in four cases: Britain’s repeal of the Corn Laws; the United States’ enactment of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act (1934); Canada’s decision to initiate continental free trade with the United States in 1985; and Mexico’s decision to pursue the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1990.

Book excerpt: "This thesis seeks to probe deeper into possible criteria for allocating jurisdiction over environmental policy in a free trade context. The investigation proceeds by examining first recent moves within the European Community to adjust environmental policy to the principle of subsidiarity. The analysis then adopts a comparative approach and discusses various issues for Canadian environmental policy arising from the Canadian division of powers. The Canadian division of powers is shown to operate with much more narrow principles and rules than under the EC-Treaty with the resultant overlap in concurrent policy-making necessitating various forms and techniques for policy-coordination. A final part of the inquiry engages economic theories of federalism, in particular recent prescriptions for greater decentralization of environmental policy that have informed the debate on subsidiarity. These theories are shown to be deficient in furnishing an adequate account of why individuals would accept regulatory competition without assurances as to a guaranteed minimum of environmental quality irrespective of a particular level of material wealth. The study, therefore, concludes that on a redistributive understanding of environmental policy, central agents, corresponding in their territorial span to the geographical reach of 'markets' have an important role to play." --
