Book Global Fracture

Download or read book Global Fracture written by Michael Hudson and published by Pluto Press. This book was released on 2005-04-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hudson is one of the tiny handful of economic thinkers in today's world who are forcing us to look at old questions in startling new ways. Alvin Toffler, best-selling author of Future Shock and The Third WaveThis new and updated edition of Michael Hudson's classic political economy text explores how and why the US came to achieve world economic hegemony.Originally published as the sequel to Hudson's bestselling Super Imperialism, Global Fracture explores American economic strategy during a key period in world history. In 1973, many of the world's most indebted countries sought to free themselves of trade dependency and the debt trap by creating a New International Economic Order (NIEO). This aimed to improve the terms of trade for raw materials and build up agicultural and industrial self-sufficiency. Global Fracture shows how the US undermined this progressive initiative and instead pushed for financial dominance over the rest of the world. Today, the NIEO is a forgotten interlude, its optimism replaced by the financial austerity imposed by the IMF and the World Bank.Exploring how America achieved its economic aims, and tracing the implications this has had through subsequent decades, Michael Hudson covers various topics including trade embargoes, changing US attitudes to foreign aid, the rise of protectionism, government regulation of international investments, the impact on specific industries including the oil industry, the implications of the new economic order and the future of war.

Part I discusses the background against which the specific activities of UNCTAD were being fashioned. Part II presents a diagnosis of the weaknesses besetting the world economic system from the point of view of the developing countries. Part III sets out and explains specific proposals put forward by the UNCTAD secretariat as suitable curative measures. Part IV covers the case for comprehensive, interrelated reform of trading relations; details of the proposed new mechanisms tabled by the secretariat from time to time; and discussion of the characteristics of various individual commodities and their particular importance in the trade of the developing countries. Part V focuses on the role of UNCTAD in the UN system, which entails discussion of the structure of the system as a whole and examination of the nature of international economic negotiations, in both their substantive and procedural aspects.

Book Multilateral Diplomacy and the Economics of Change

Download or read book Multilateral Diplomacy and the Economics of Change written by Denis Benn and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Multilateral Diplomacy addresses an important historical episode in the struggle of the developing countries to restructure the international economic order that was perceived by them to be an obstacle to development. Told from the perspective of a participant in the negotiations, the book traces the evolution of the developing countries as actors in the economic system and describes the circumstances which gave rise to the demand for the New International Economic Order. It presents a detailed analysis of the negotiations on the NIEO and compares the strategies adopted by the parties to the negotiations. The geopolitical context within which the negotiations were carried out is also described. Equally important, Multilateral Diplomacy highlights the role of South-South cooperation as a counter strategy pursued by the developing countries in order to strengthen their bargaining position. The study points to the essential continuity between the struggle for the NIEO during the 1970s and the current efforts of developing countries to defend their economic interests in the negotiations taking place within the framework of the World Trade Organization and other similar forums.

Book excerpt: Financial resources of the magnitude, form, and character necessary to support changes in the structure of production in developing countries are essential for progress toward a new, more equitable international economic order.

Book excerpt: "In April of 1974, during the sixth special session of the United Nations General Assembly,a coalition of 134 developing states introduced the Declaration for the Establishment of a NewInternational Order (NIEO). This agenda aimed to renegotiate the terms of international trade andlaw, fiscal policy, and development aid. The NIEO's proponents were unable to secure a moreequitable international economic order. Instead, key industrialized states in the North won keybattles in public international law and accorded unprecedented protection to internationalinvestment that dismantled the NIEO's primary drive of granting developing states' absolutesovereignty over their natural resources. Scholars studying the NIEO posit that that the agendachallenged the very foundations of the postwar liberal order. More recent literature also attributesthe failure of the NIEO to the success of the neoliberal agenda of the 1980s. This thesis asks, onwhat grounds did the NIEO challenge the postwar liberal order and what specifically links theNIEO to global neoliberalism?Careful primary text analysis of UN archival documents reveals that the NIEO recast thefundamental norm of sovereign equality by designing an international nationalization lawframework, by seeking the establishment of a UN Special Fund, and by aiming for the expansionof a generalized system of preferences for developing countries. Thus, a central claim of this thesisis that the NIEO contested the legal and economic foundations of the postwar order. Furtheranalysis of foreign policy communiqués and policy responses from the industrialized Global Northsuggests that developed countries countered the NIEO with a strategy of policy reformulation. Byemploying process-tracing, I chart how specific NIEO principles were reformulated by the Northto secure policy outcomes antithetical to the NIEO's original mission. These policy reformulationssubsequently facilitated the rise of global neoliberalism in the decades to come.Finally, by drawing from Antje Wiener's theory of contestation and practice theory'snotion of competency, I advance the concept of "competent contestation" to capture the theoreticalsignificance of the NIEO. In doing so, I suggest that contestation can be spatially, procedurally,and relationally competent"--

Book New Economic Order and International Development Law

Download or read book New Economic Order and International Development Law written by Oswaldo De Rivero B. and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-19 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Economic Order and International Development Law focuses on the legal doctrines for controlling the relations between the economies of the South and the North. The manuscript first offers information on the crisis of the international economic order as a factor in the establishment of international development law, including the rejection of the classical theory of international trade by developing countries and the formulation of a set of special rules for developing countries. The book also takes a look at the removal of economic reciprocity and adoption of unilateral commercial obligations in favor of developing countries and suspension of the most-favored-nation clause and trade preferences in favor of developing countries. The publication elaborates on the acceptance of the clause of ""non-reciprocity"" in trade negotiations between developed and developing countries and clauses in favor of economic and social development in commodity agreements. The text also ponders on the establishment of machinery for solving trade disputes between developed and developing countries; trade and co-operation agreements between socialist and developing countries; and rules relating to private foreign investment. The manuscript is a vital reference for readers and economists interested in international development law and economic order.

Book General Equilibrium Analysis

Download or read book General Equilibrium Analysis written by Harry G. Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new kind of textbook in microeconomic theory. In place of the usual concentration on partial equilibrium analysis and discussion of a standard series of topics, the authors seek to introduce the student from the start to the general equilibrium approach to microeconomics, in the form of the two-sector model. This model is then applied to a variety of subjects in different special fields of economic analysis: welfare economics, international trade, public finance and income distribution. This book represents a very different approach to the teaching of micro-economic theory than normally followed, and one that will be of greater long-run value to the serious student of economics. In place of the usual textbook development of the subject as traditionally conceived through topics of increasing complexity and analytical difficulty, using partial equilibrium techniques of analysis, the book concentrates on the exposition and application of a more logically integrated set of tools that have been found of greater use in the analysis of problems arising not only in traditional micro-economics but also in a number of fields of economics that have customarily been hived off into separate specialized advanced courses. General Equilibrium Analysis starts with the description of the two-sector model and how these two sectors are built based on the individual micro-units in which they made up of and how they fit into the concept of the circular flow of income. Subsequent chapters deal with the evaluation of changes in factor endowment, demand preferences and technical progress by means of the model; and the theory of government, which includes both the theory of government expenditure, or public goods, and the theory of government tax and/or subsidy programmes-changes in budgetary scale, tax substitution and expenditure substitution. The model is then extended to an open economy-the so-called "two by two by two"--to consider both the normative effect of inte
