Japanese Manufacturing Investment in Europe
Japanese manufacturing investment in the European Community has grown dramatically over the last twenty years. At first, instances of investment were few, concentrated in a small number of industrial sectors. But since the mid-1980's there has been a surge of investment in a much wider range of industries. This volume details the growth of Japanese manufacturing investment in Europe in fourteen industrial sectors. The impact of Japanese competition and direct investment on European industries is considered in the context of the emergence of the three major trading blocs: the United States, Japan and the EC. Roger Strange concludes by making important policy recommendations, and arguing for the need for a new theoretical framework for assessing the political economy of foreign direct investment.
A Theory of Property
This book represents a major new statement on the issue of property rights. It argues for the justification of some rights of private property while showing why unequal distributions of private property are indefensible.
Tiger by the Tail
Prospects for the accession of the People's Republic of China to the World Trade Organization in the near future have diminished considerably. Recently, many policymakers predicted that the PRC would most likely enter the WTO no later than 1999 or 2000. Given a variety of recent economic and political developments in both Asia and the West (particularly the United States), it now seems likely that the negotiations concerning China's accession will be much more protracted.
Research Handbook on Trade in Services
This Research Handbook explores the latest frontiers in services trade by drawing on insights from empirical economics, law and global political economy. The world’s foremost experts take stock of the learning done to date in services trade, explore policy questions bedevilling analysts and direct attention to a host of issues, old and new, confronting those interested in the service economy and its rising salience in cross-border exchange. The Handbook’s 22 chapters shed informed analytical light on a subject matter whose substantive remit continues to be shaped by rapid evolutions in technology, data gathering, market structures, consumer preferences, approaches to regulation and by ongoing shifts in the frontier between the market and the state.
European Trade Policies and Developing Countries
This book looks at how patterns of world trade are changing, how EEC protectionism affects developing countries, how special deals and exceptions are bought in some cases and looks to the future to see how the situation may develop.
The World Trading System
Comprises a collection of papers and comments which discuss challenges confronting the World Trade Organization (WTO). Analyses the implementation of WTO agreements and unfinished business from the Uruguay Round, the impact of proliferating regionalism, the desirability of expending the WTO agenda to "new" issues, and institutional issues such as WTO accession and linkages with other international institutions.
Japan and the Challenge of Europe 1992
The spotlight is on the 1992 programme for the creation of a single European market and its consequences for the relationship between Japan and Europe. Drawing on an impressively wide range of data, the author carefully examines the agenda for adjustment. First published in 1990, this title is part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections series.
The Eurosceptical Reader
The Eurosceptical Reader is the authoritative guide to the compelling arguments against European integration. The book sets out to dispel the myth which has grown up over the past thirty years that Britain's Eurosceptics are backward-looking, nationalistic, even xenophobic 'Little Englanders'. In reality, as this collection of articles and speeches illustrates, the Eurosceptical case has been anything other than introverted and obsessed with the past. Eurosceptics have always looked to the wider world beyond Europe not to a nostalgic British isolation. Whether from within the two main parties or from academia and journalism, the Eurosceptical case has become both intellectually powerful and politically persuasive. The all-star cast provides contemporary analysis to supplement classic contributions from Hugh Gaitskell, Margaret Thatcher, Enoch Powell, Tony Benn and others.
