Book Synopsis Dynamics of Regulatory Change by : David Vogel
Download or read book Dynamics of Regulatory Change written by David Vogel and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2004-12-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics of globalization claim that economic liberalization leads to a lowering of regulatory standards. As capital and corporations move more freely across national boundaries, a race to the bottom results as governments are forced to weaken labor and environmental standards to retain current contracts or attract new business. The essays in this volume argue that, on the contrary, under certain circumstances global economic integration can actually lead to the strengthening of consumer and environmental standards. This volume extends the argument of David Vogel’s book Trading Up, which discussed environmental standards, by focusing on the impact of globalization on labor rights, women’s rights and capital market regulations.

Book Synopsis The Global Political Economy and Post-1989 Change by : E. Ashworth
Download or read book The Global Political Economy and Post-1989 Change written by E. Ashworth and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-08-03 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effect of post-Soviet transitions on current problem solving trends with regards to world capitalism. The fall of Soviet communism left liberal capitalism as the dominant blueprint from which to construct economic development policies. Using Central Europe as an example it is shown that the application of the Western liberal-capitalist model has not been without its difficulties. This book endeavours to place the changes to the global political economy, since 1989, in a theoretical and historical context.
Book Synopsis Globalization and Its Discontents by : Joseph E. Stiglitz
Download or read book Globalization and Its Discontents written by Joseph E. Stiglitz and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2003-04-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerful, unsettling book gives us a rare glimpse behind the closed doors of global financial institutions by the winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics. When it was first published, this national bestseller quickly became a touchstone in the globalization debate. Renowned economist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz had a ringside seat for most of the major economic events of the last decade, including stints as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and chief economist at the World Bank. Particularly concerned with the plight of the developing nations, he became increasingly disillusioned as he saw the International Monetary Fund and other major institutions put the interests of Wall Street and the financial community ahead of the poorer nations. Those seeking to understand why globalization has engendered the hostility of protesters in Seattle and Genoa will find the reasons here. While this book includes no simple formula on how to make globalization work, Stiglitz provides a reform agenda that will provoke debate for years to come. Rarely do we get such an insider's analysis of the major institutions of globalization as in this penetrating book. With a new foreword for this paperback edition.
Book Synopsis The Global Political Economy of Trade Protectionism and Liberalization by : Tony Heron
Download or read book The Global Political Economy of Trade Protectionism and Liberalization written by Tony Heron and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the widely-accepted premise that free trade is the best means of maximising overall societal welfare, why has it proven so difficult to achieve in certain industries? This book tackles arguably the most perennial and deep-rooted of all questions in political economy, and questions the incumbent orthodox liberal theories of collective action. Using a historical institutionalist framework to explore and explain the political economy of trade protectionism and liberalization, this book is based on detailed case studies of the textiles and clothing sector in the EU, United States, China, Caribbean Basin and sub-Saharan Africa. From this, the book expands to discuss the origins of trade protectionism and examine the wider political effects of liberalization, offering an explanation of why a successful conclusion to the WTO ‘Doha’ round has proven to be so elusive. The book argues that the regulation of global trade - and the economic consequences that this has for both developed and developing countries - has been the result of the particular way in which trade preferences are mediated through political institutions. The Global Political Economy of Trade Protectionism and Liberalization will be of interest to those studying and researching international and comparative political economy, developing area studies, economics, law and geography.
Book Synopsis Neoliberal Globalization and Institutional Reform by : Sadik Ünay
Download or read book Neoliberal Globalization and Institutional Reform written by Sadik Ünay and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the manifestation of a long-term effort to explore the multifaceted impact of neo-liberal globalisation on institutional reform in the developing world, with special reference to the transformation trajectory of State Planning Organisation in Turkey. Analytically, it strives to locate the in-depth analysis of Turkish development planning and the changing fortunes of the State Planning Organisation within the broader context of the 'states versus markets' debate in the political economy literature in order to assess the technical viability and institutional manifestations of development planning under the profound and ever increasing pressures of globalisation. To this end, a comparative institutional theoretical framework is adopted which engages critically with the neo-classical/neo-liberal approach to macroeconomic policy making, and gauges the potential influence of domestic institutional structures in generating effective responses to changes in global economy.

Book Synopsis India's Globalization by : Baldev Raj Nayar
Download or read book India's Globalization written by Baldev Raj Nayar and published by Sage. This book was released on 2006 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instead of denationalization, business in India is now more competitive and is venturing forth into the global market; increased imports and the entry of foreign multinationals have not swamped it; essentially, India is master of its own destiny. Instead of economic destabilization, there has been since the paradigm shift in economic policy in 1991 a marked absence of economic crisis in India. And, instead of impoverishment, India has seen a long and unprecedented period of welfare enhancement since it began its reintegration into the world economy in 1975; there has been a secular decline in poverty since then, while inequality has not increased much. The policy conclusion that flows from this experience is that India ought to be, in general, more open to globalization in the interest of sustaining the acceleration in economic growth and enhancing the welfare of its people. To this end it should push forward with the reform agenda.

Book Synopsis Does India Negotiate? by : Karthik Nachiappan
Download or read book Does India Negotiate? written by Karthik Nachiappan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-13 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India plays a key role in addressing multilateral issues like climate change, terrorism, piracy, humanitarian crises, and nuclear disarmament. Scholarly work mapping India’s multilateral behaviour ranges from covering the United Nations to a wide range of fora where India seeks to influence issues that affect its security and development. Yet, there has been no serious exploration of how India concretely negotiates international rules. In this book, Karthik Nachiappan investigates how India negotiated four key multilateral agreements: The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, The Framework Convention on Climate Change, The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and the Uruguay Round Trade Agreement. Based on untapped primary sources including archival documents detailing how negotiations transpired, official records of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, a series of interviews with former Indian negotiators, and newspaper sources, Does India Negotiate? demonstrates that India’s multilateral behaviour is fundamentally strategic—working to shape and ratify international rules that advance core interests while resisting rules that harm those interests.
Download or read book India written by Pamela Shurmer-Smith and published by Hodder Arnold. This book was released on 2000 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the twentieth century, India has been transformed by global economic forces. 'India: Globalization and Change' examines the political and social changes taking place in India as a result of market liberalisation and integration into the world economy. Concentrating on the period since the emergence of market-dominated capitalism in India in the early 1990s, this up-to-date book highlights the effects of globalization on nearly all corners of Indian life. Rather than seeking explanation through referring to the past and traditions, this book concentrates on the modernising forces at work in India through an analysis of our major themes: caste, class, religion and gender. The author also considers the widening divisions in Indian society in relation to the overseas influence (through education and work) on elites and the increasing regionalism of other groups. This book discusses contemporary issues in Indian life (including environmental problems, emigration, and the anti-nuclear movement) and integrates this discussion into an examination of the new structures emerging from an increasing dependence on global markets. By bringing together the many strands that make up India at the dawn of the twenty-first century, the author provides an innovative perspective on this huge and diverse subcontinent.
Book Synopsis Federalism and Economic Reform by : Jessica Wallack
Download or read book Federalism and Economic Reform written by Jessica Wallack and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-09 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection focuses on the ways in which federalism has affected and been affected by economic reform, especially global integration. The editors and contributors focus in particular on the political economy of institutional and economic change - how the division of authority between national and subnational governments shapes debates over policy changes, as well as how the changing economic environment creates incentives to modify the basic agreements between levels of governments. Each chapter contains a historical overview, and an in-depth account of division of authority, lines of accountability, and legislative, bureaucratic, and other arenas in which the levels of government interact for a particular country. The analyses are based on reform (or non-reform) episodes for each country - most from recent history, but some spanning the century. As a collection, the country studies span a range of developing and industrial countries with varying political systems.
