The Neomercantilists
At a time when critiques of free trade policies are gaining currency, The Neomercantilists helps make sense of the protectionist turn, providing the first intellectual history of the genealogy of neomercantilism. Eric Helleiner identifies many pioneers of this ideology between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries who backed strategic protectionism and other forms of government economic activism to promote state wealth and power.

Law, Economics, and Conflict
"The rise in global conflict, dramatic technological breakthroughs, and the floundering of traditional law and economics has precipitated a reexamination of the fundamentals of law and economics. This volume focuses on the new challenges arising from globalization, technological advance, and the social and political conflicts to which they give rise. Its contributors mull over the challenges of this new world and how we can steer a course giving individuals the space and freedom to work, innovate, earn, profit and prosper, and the state the wisdom to regulate and ensure that conflicts do not occur, externalities are managed, and some are not marginalized and impoverished, while others accumulate and prosper."--Provided by publisher.

Akhenaten and the Religion of Light
Akhenaten, also known as Amenhotep IV, was king of Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty and reigned from 1375 to 1358 B.C. E. Called the "religious revolutionary," he is the earliest known creator of a new religion. The cult he founded broke with Egypt's traditional polytheism and focused its worship on a single deity, the sun god Aten. Erik Hornung, one of the world's preeminent Egyptologists, here offers a concise and accessible account of Akhenaten and his religion of light.Hornung begins with a discussion of the nineteenth-century scholars who laid the foundation for our knowledge of Akhenaten's period and extends to the most recent archaeological finds. He emphasizes that Akhenaten's mon...
North Korea under Communism
After the collapse of the Soviet world, North Korea alone has continued on the rigid communist way, in spite of its economic consequences leading the state beyond ruin to famine. What are the reasons behind this peculiar choice of direction? Why did the leaders in Pyongyang pursue a policy abandoned not only by the Soviet Union, but also by China and Vietnam? The author of this book spent three years as head of the embassy of Sweden in Pyongyang. Until a few years ago, it was the only Western embassy in North Korea. His unique experiences are related with descriptions of day-to-day life and with analyses of economic, political and ideological conditions. A picture is drawn of a society and a political order that defy both human nature and common sense.
