Book Synopsis Small States in Multilateral Economic Negotiations by : Amrita Narlikar
Download or read book Small States in Multilateral Economic Negotiations written by Amrita Narlikar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the puzzle, Can David take on Goliath in multilateral economic negotiations, and if so, then under what conditions? The question of how the weak bargain with the strong in international politics is exciting theoretically and empirically. In a world of ever-increasing interdependence, and also a time of economic crisis, it acquires even greater significance. With the help of issue-specific case studies, the volume offers new insights into the vulnerabilities that small states face in multilateral economic negotiations, and also mechanisms whereby these weaknesses might be overcome and even used as an advantage. The attention that this volume pays to questions of smallness and negotiation allow it to address a long-standing problem of international politics. The case studies, which cover monetary, financial, trade, and climate change negotiations, ensure a unique and valuable topicality to the volume. This book was published as a special issue of The Round Table.
Book Synopsis WTO at the Margins by : Roman Grynberg
Download or read book WTO at the Margins written by Roman Grynberg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-12-14 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a pivotal point in the history of the WTO, when development issues are at the heart of negotiations, how the larger and more powerful members address the legitimate concerns of its poorest and most vulnerable members will shape the perception of the institution throughout the century. This book aims not only to document almost ten years of experience of small states with the WTO but also to explain this experience. It takes an evidential theory approach to explaining the features characteristic to the trade and economic development of small island states. It then highlights the issues of concern to these states in relation to negotiations at the WTO. The experience of the African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries with the WTO dispute settlement mechanism is discussed, and the book ends with a discussion of key negotiating issues for the island states and institutional arrangements to facilitate reform.

Book Synopsis Prospects for North-South Negotiations in a Changing International Political Economy by : George E. Shambaugh
Download or read book Prospects for North-South Negotiations in a Changing International Political Economy written by George E. Shambaugh and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the post-World War II era, North-South negotiations have failed to provide Southern states with many of the trade and aid benefits that they sought. The concerns of the Southern and Northern states have been well documented in the enormous literature on North-South relations. Various methodologies and alternative world views have yielded alternative explanations for the dilemmas of Northern and Southern states as they have negotiated over time in the international political-economy system. Most of this literature, we believe, does not acknowledge the rare cases where important gains by Southern states were won. Although the gains made by Southern states in a small set of bargaining cases with Northern representatives are modest when viewed in light of grand historical trends, we believe that these small advances by Southern states have been, and will continue to be important to citizens in Southern countries. Moreover, as the current international political economy undergoes enormous change, we believe it is important to analyze which trends of the future may most benefit Southern negotiators as they bargain with Northern representatives. Below, we review the prominent approaches to North-South relations and situate this paper in the vast body of North-South literature. We identify and analyze the small set of cases in which Southern states experienced success in bargaining with Northern states in the post World War period. Each of these cases shares a set of common bargaining conditions under which successful outcomes for Southern states were achieved. In this chapter, we identify the conditions under which Southern states were able to bargain successfully with Northern states. Then, we offer a theory of the conditions under which Southern states do best when bargaining with Northern representatives. Finally, we demonstrate how likely changes in the international political economy of the 1990s will influence bargaining outcomes in future North-South relations. We argue that while Northern policy makers may favor the continuation of a multilateral international economic order, Southern states will be more successful in their negotiations with Northern states in the 1990s under an international system characterized by economic blocs than one which is not.
Book Synopsis Small States in the European Union by : Prof Dr Diana Panke
Download or read book Small States in the European Union written by Prof Dr Diana Panke and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most recent EU-enlargements have considerably increased the number of small member states. In the EU-27, 19 countries have fewer votes in the Council of Ministers than the EU-average. These small states face a series of size-related disadvantages in day-to-day EU negotiations. Against this backdrop the book asks: are some small states better at coping with structural disadvantages than others? How active are small states in participating in day-to-day EU negotiations and why do some states use negotiation strategies more frequently than others? Under which conditions are the different negotiation strategies effective and when can small states punch above their weight? Based on more than 100 interviews with policy-makers and an analysis of a unique database on the negotiation activities of EU member states, this book explains how active participation is essential for the shaping success of small states and shows that small states are more influential with persuasion-based rather than bargaining-based strategies. Two case studies on the pesticides and the spirit drinks regulations further reveal that persuasion strategies are especially effective if the arguments match the nature of the issue at stake and resonate well with prior beliefs of addressees. No other study comprehensively analyzes small states in a comparative perspective, examines their activity levels in EU negotiations and outlines which conditions are needed for the effectiveness of a broad range of strategies. An indispensable resource for students and researchers interested in how and under which conditions small states can influence policies in negotiations beyond the nation-state.

Book Synopsis Multilateral Negotiations by : Fen Osler Hampson
Download or read book Multilateral Negotiations written by Fen Osler Hampson and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political scientist Fen Osler Hampson, with the assistance of trade specialist Michael Hart, studies the component parts of the multilateral negotiation process to identify those factors making for success or failure. The authors argue that multilateral negotiation is, in essence, a coalition-building enterprise involving states, nonstate actors, and international organizations. Among the questions they raise are: How do issues get to the table in multilateral negotiations? Who sits at the table and who composes the tiers of relevant stakeholders? What are the procedures for managing complexity? What are the obstacles - strategic and psychological - to reaching agreement? Ranging from the 1963 Test Ban Treaty to the Climate Change Convention (1992) and the completion of the Uruguay Round of GATT (1993), individual case studies include discussions on security, environmental, and economic issues. Of particular interest is the attention given to nongovernmental actors - such as scientists and environmental groups like Greenpeace International - in prenegotiation and negotiation phases.

Book Synopsis Small States in International Relations by : Christine Ingebritsen
Download or read book Small States in International Relations written by Christine Ingebritsen and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smaller nations have a special place in the international system, with a striking capacity to defy the expectations of most observers and many prominent theories of international relations. This volume of classic essays highlights the ability of small states to counter power with superior commitment, to rely on tightly knit domestic institutions with a shared "ideology of social partnership," and to set agendas as "norm entrepreneurs." The volume is organized around themes such as how and why small states defy expectations of realist approaches to the study of power; the agenda-setting capacity of smaller powers in international society and in regional governance structures such as the European Union; and how small states and representatives from these societies play the role of norm entrepreneurs in world politics -- from the promotion of sustainable solutions to innovative humanitarian programs and policies..

Book Synopsis The Role of Small States in the European Union by : Baldur Thorhallsson
Download or read book The Role of Small States in the European Union written by Baldur Thorhallsson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully documented text which addresses a key issue of EU decision-making which is surfacing again in proposed institutional reforms. It looks at the role of smaller states, deals with the important criteria of distribution and redistribution of EU budgetary expenditures in the key areas of agriculture and structural funds and explains how smaller states promote their interest more effectively than larger states. It focuses on the administrations of small states, their relations with the Commission and their negotiation tactics in the Council. This is the first attempt to empirically test Peter Katzenstein’s thesis on the role of smaller states in international relations by making important recommendations on how the core assumptions of Katzenstein need to be modified, especially when applied to the EU context. This work is a good supplementary text book for courses on European studies, comparative politics and international relations. It is particularly suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students.

The book includes perspectives from some of New Zealand's leading as well as emerging commentators on New Zealand foreign policy.
