Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engaging new study, John D. Wong examines the Canton trade networks that helped to shape the modern world through the lens of the prominent Chinese merchant Houqua, whose trading network and financial connections stretched from China to India, America and Britain. In contrast to interpretations that see Chinese merchants in this era as victims of rising Western mercantilism and oppressive Chinese traditions, Houqua maintained a complex balance between his commercial interests and those of his Western counterparts, all in an era of transnationalism before the imposition of the Western world order. The success of Houqua and Co. in configuring its networks in the fluid context of the early nineteenth century remains instructive today, as the contemporary balance of political power renders the imposition of a West-centric world system increasingly problematic, and requires international traders to adapt to a new world order in which China, once again, occupies center stage.

Book Synopsis Globalization and History by : Kevin H. O'Rourke
Download or read book Globalization and History written by Kevin H. O'Rourke and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2001-01-26 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kevin O'Rourke and Jeffrey Williamson present a coherent picture of trade, migration, and international capital flows in the Atlantic economy in the century prior to 1914—the first great globalization boom, which anticipated the experience of the last fifty years. Globalization is not a new phenomenon, nor is it irreversible. In Gobalization and History, Kevin O'Rourke and Jeffrey Williamson present a coherent picture of trade, migration, and international capital flows in the Atlantic economy in the century prior to 1914—the first great globalization boom, which anticipated the experience of the last fifty years. The authors estimate the extent of globalization and its impact on the participating countries, and discuss the political reactions that it provoked. The book's originality lies in its application of the tools of open-economy economics to this critical historical period—differentiating it from most previous work, which has been based on closed-economy or single-sector models. The authors also keep a close eye on globalization debates of the 1990s, using history to inform the present and vice versa. The book brings together research conducted by the authors over the past decade—work that has profoundly influenced how economic history is now written and that has found audiences in economics and history, as well as in the popular press.

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Account of England's Foreign Trade, in the Nineteenth Century, Its Economic Results The subject set for the essay for the Cobden Prize awarded at Cambridge University in December, 1892, was "Changes in the Volume, Character, and Geographical Distribution of England's Foreign Trade in the Nineteenth Century, and their Causes." The essay which was then successful was not published at once, but has been re-cast and completed, while additions and changes have been made to bring it within the scope of the "Social Science Series." As it now stands, it does not profess to be a complete account of our recent foreign trade - that being of course impossible in a book of this size, where the subject of each chapter would easily fill a volume by itself; but an endeavour has been made to point out and give the right prominence to the more important of the events and causes that have affected the growth of trade, to touch on the more obvious of the social effects of this growth, and more especially to furnish an introductory text-book, which will supply the fundamental facts of this century's commerce in an easily accessible form.

Book Synopsis The Origins of Globalization by : Pim de Zwart
Download or read book The Origins of Globalization written by Pim de Zwart and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For better or for worse, in recent times the rapid growth of international economic exchange has changed our lives. But when did this process of globalization begin, and what effects did it have on economies and societies? Pim de Zwart and Jan Luiten van Zanden argue that the networks of trade established after the voyages of Columbus and Da Gama of the late fifteenth century had transformative effects inaugurating the first era of globalization. The global flows of ships, people, money and commodities between 1500 and 1800 were substantial, and the re-alignment of production and distribution resulting from these connections had important consequences for demography, well-being, state formation and the long-term economic growth prospects of the societies involved in the newly created global economy. Whether early globalization had benign or malignant effects differed by region, but the world economy as we now know it originated in these changes in the early modern period.
Book Synopsis International Trade and Political Institutions by : Fiona McGillivray
Download or read book International Trade and Political Institutions written by Fiona McGillivray and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In International Trade and Political Institutions, four leading young scholars of comparative and international political economy come together to analyse aspects of trade policy from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Combining theoretical sophistication with empirical depth, they provide cogent arguments about the interaction of interests, institutions, and ideas in a period of crucial importance to those who would like to understand the sources and implications of global economic integration. This exciting volume will be of great interest for scholars concerned with international trade, political economy, and the history of the nineteenth-century world economy.' - Jeffry A. Frieden, Harvard University, US 'This fascinating volume should be read by political scientists, economists, and historians interested in the political formation of trade policy. The papers consider a rich set of historical examples and never fail to be provocative and interesting.' - Douglas Irwin, Dartmouth College, US It is a widely held view that politics plays an important role in determining international trade policy. Defining precisely why, and how, politics matters is more difficult. Despite the benefits of trade, few nations have wholeheartedly adopted free trade policies, and when they do so it is by managing trade through international institutions and multi- or bilateral trade treaties. International Trade and Political Institutions broadens the public choice theory of trade politics to allow for the study of ideas and institutions within a longer time horizon. The authors use theoretically rigorous historical analysis of international political economy and four important case studies to help untangle the role of ideology, institutions and interests. This illuminating book connects the fields of economics, political economy and history to shed new light on trade theory.

Book Synopsis Ivory and Slaves in East Central Africa by : Edward A. Alpers
Download or read book Ivory and Slaves in East Central Africa written by Edward A. Alpers and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Shepperson says of this regional economic history of East Central Africa that it is a "refreshing combination of a scholarly survey of a relatively new field of African history and of a contribution to an important controversy on African underdevelopment." Alpers has written a history of the penetration and changing character of international trade in East Central Africa from the fifteenth to the later nineteenth century. His study focuses on a vast and little known region that includes southern Tanzania, northern Mozambique, and Malawi, with extension north along the Swahili coast and west as far as the Lunda state of the Mwata Kazembe. He examines both the competition between traders and their internal impact on the various societies of East Central Africa. Alpers' main concern is to demonstrate that the historical roots of underdevelopment in the area are to be found 'in the system of international trade which was initiated by Arabs in the fifteenth century, seized and extended by the Portuguese in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, dominated by a complex mixture of Indian, Arab and Western capitalisms in the nineteenth century'. Thus this readable and original book places East African trading systems within the larger Western Indian Ocean system and in the world capitalist system. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1975.
