Download or read book State Trading in the Twenty First Century written by Thomas Cottier and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-05-06 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The University of Michigan Press is pleased to announce the first volume in an annual series, The World Trade Forum. The Forum's members include scholars, lawyers, and government and business practitioners working in the area of international trade, law, and policy. They meet annually and discuss integration issues in international economic relations, focusing on a new theme each year. The central topic of the first World Trade Forum is state trading. To what extent has trade liberalization, as we have experienced it over the last fifty years, affected property ownership? Contributors to the 1998 World Trade Forum explore this question, examining both state practice and the regulatory framework. Their discussions are divided into three parts: Part 1 looks at the World Trade Organization's legal framework for state trading enterprises, taking on such issues as monopolies and state enterprises, the WTO Antidumping Agreement and the economies in transition, and relationship of state trading and the Government Purchasing Act. Part 2 deals with regional experiences in state trading (for the EC, United States, Canada, Japan, China, and Russia). Part 3 examines conceptual issues such as auctions as a trade policy instrument and rule-making alternatives for entities with exclusive rights. The conclusion synthesizes the foregoing chapters in discussing the reach of modern international trade law. Contributors are Frederick Abbott, Ichiro Araki, Christian Bach, Jacques H. J.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forum, Vol. 1: March, 1886 Much, it is pleasant to admit, has been done for pure science by this method of indirection and subordination of the best inter ests of science both to the restraints of a commercial purpose and the directorship of an unappreciating, sometimes an embarrass ing personality. But science thus subordinated marches with a crippled step, and is slower than she might be in evolving the hidden truths of nature. Even of this method Short-sighted utilitarianism is manifesting jealousy which daily increases. The growing apathy of our public authorities toward the application of scientific methods to the exploration of the public domain, is manifested in the increasing reluctance to provide for scientific methods of research in making such surveys, and the tendency to limit them to simple empirical processes. It is seen in inability to appreciate the value of scientific results when produced, and refusal to provide for their publication. Masses of precious material are thus lying in mildew and neglect, sim ply because too scientific for direct application to the purposes of lode-discovery, mineral working, or some similar utility. Men of recognized scientific capacity have been displaced from position to gratify the clamor for some empiricist or tool of an empirical Spirit, or perhaps even to suit the political change in a State administration.

Download or read book True Blues written by Adam Hilton and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who governs political parties? Recent insurgent campaigns, such as those of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, have thrust this critical question to the center of political debate for casual observers and scholars alike. Yet the dynamics of modern party politics remain poorly understood. Assertions of either elite control or interest group dominance both fail to explain the Trump victory and the surprise of the Sanders insurgency and their subsequent reverberations through the American political landscape. In True Blues, Adam Hilton tackles the question of who governs parties by examining the transformation of the Democratic Party since the late 1960s. Reconceiving parties as "contentious institutions," Hilton argues that Democratic Party change was driven by recurrent conflicts between groups and officeholders to define and control party identity, program, and policy. The outcome of this prolonged struggle was a wholly new kind of party—an advocacy party—which institutionalized greater party dependence on outside groups for legitimacy and organizational support, while also, in turn, fostering greater group dependency on the presidency for the satisfaction of its symbolic and substantive demands. Consequently, while the long conflict between party reformers and counter-reformers successfully opened the Democratic Party to new voices and identities, it also facilitated the growth of presidential power, rising inequality, and deepening partisan polarization. Tracing the rise of the advocacy party from the fall of the New Deal order through the presidency of Barack Obama, True Blues explains how and why the Democratic Party has come to its current crossroads and suggests a bold new perspective for comprehending the dynamics driving American party politics more broadly.

Download or read book Bounded Rationality and Politics written by Jonathan Bendor and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-06-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bounded Rationality and Politics, Jonathan Bendor considers two schools of behavioral economics—the first guided by Tversky and Kahneman’s work on heuristics and biases, which focuses on the mistakes people make in judgment and choice; the second as described by Gerd Gigerenzer’s program on fast and frugal heuristics, which emphasizes the effectiveness of simple rules of thumb. Finding each of these radically incomplete, Bendor’s illuminating analysis proposes Herbert Simon’s pathbreaking work on bounded rationality as a way to reconcile the inconsistencies between the two camps. Bendor shows that Simon’s theory turns on the interplay between the cognitive constraints of decision makers and the complexity of their tasks.

Download or read book International Trade Regulation and the Mitigation of Climate Change written by Thomas Cottier and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-24 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can trade regulation contribute towards ameliorating the GHG emissions and reducing their concentrations in the atmosphere? This collection of essays analyses options for climate-change mitigation through the lens of the trade lawyer. By examining international law, and in particular the relevant WTO agreements, the authors address the areas of potential conflict between international trade law and international law on climate mitigation and, where possible, suggest ways to strengthen mutual supportiveness between the two regimes. They do so taking into account the drivers of human-induced climate change in energy markets and of consumption.

Download or read book Religions of Rome Volume 2 A Sourcebook written by Mary Beard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-06-28 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume two reveals the extraordinary diversity of ancient Roman religion. A comprehensive sourcebook, it presents a wide range of documents illustrating religious life in the Roman world - from the foundations of the city in the eighth century BC to the Christian capital more than a thousand years later. Each document is given a full introduction, explanatory notes and bibliography, and acts as a starting point for further discussion. Through paintings, sculptures, coins and inscriptions, as well as literary texts in translation, the book explores the major themes and problems of Roman religion, such as sacrifice, the religious calendar, divination, ritual, and priesthood. Starting from the archaeological traces of the earliest cults of the city, it finishes with a series of texts in which Roman authors themselves reflect on the nature of their own religion, its history, even its funny side. Judaism and Christianity are given full coverage, as important elements in the religious world of the Roman empire.
