Javier Milei and the Libertarian Wave

Routledge Studies in North American Politics

Speaking to wider debates of U.S. foreign policy and grand strategy, its interests and motivations in International Relations and International Political Economy, and processes of regionalism with regard to political-economic integration. NAFTA-land Security present a clear, important and original argument to all those struggling with how best to understand the overall policy aims that drive U.S. thinking, and how they relate to global trends and developments in U.S. foreign policy.

North America is increasingly an integrated economic hub, and Canada and Mexico are important to the U.S. (and vice versa) in terms of energy security, trade, cross-border production, and more. This has made regional security and stability more strategically important than the already high level it had attained through geography. In order to understand North America’s growing strategic significance, we need to take a closer look at U.S. policy within the region. In this book, Paul Ashby examines how U.S. now considers North America, defined regionally as the countries within the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), as a distinct and strategically important economic and security space. Through closer examination of several policy programs with both Canada and Mexico, Ashby demonstrates how the U.S. is actively constructing a regional, North American security architecture based around, but also operating within NAFTA’s perimeters. He contends that increased regional economic integration and important interdependencies spurred by NAFTA are driving, and that these were given far greater impetus by the events and regional impacts of 9/11. North America’s growing strategic importance to the U.S. has encouraged it to take regional security more seriously. Speaking to wider debates of U.S. foreign policy and grand strategy, its interests and motivations in International Relations and International Political Economy, and processes of regionalism with regard to political-economic integration. NAFTA-land Security present a clear, important and original argument to all those struggling with how best to understand the overall policy aims that drive U.S. thinking, and how they relate to global trends and developments in U.S. foreign policy.

Contemporary U.S. Approaches to North American Regionalism

New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives

This book integrates diversified disciplines, research approaches, and methodologies of area studies, regional economic development, and regional science. With its huge population, China has accomplished rapid economic growth since the 1990s, although the significant income gap among regions and individuals has become a serious problem for its society. China's accession to the WTO in 2001 has had various influences on the entire food system, from agriculture to consumers, through the food manufacturing and distribution industries. The changes in the Chinese food system are considered to have also affected the agriculture and food industries in Asian countries where economic interdependence has been promoted in past decades. The author argues these issues based on interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary methods and approaches and has successfully derived empirical and theoretical results that are rich in policy implications. The topics addressed include food security and sustainability of agriculture especially in the suburbs of big cities; poverty reduction in rural agricultural areas amidst prosperity in urban and coastal areas; regional networks and international trade of the food industry in East Asia; creation of innovative knowledge and human capital for clustering of the agro-food sector; regional development strategy; and international cooperation. The book is interesting for researchers in the field, especially for those who are concerned with the food system that has been changed dynamically in the past two decades, and it is informative, as well, for practitioners who are engaged in related business.

Trade Policy, Trade Agreements, And Economic Growth: Essays In International Trade Theory

"[O]ne of the most original and important books on Africa in years."--Financial Times"Challenges outdated narratives and makes a compelling case for the continent's economic potential."--Bill GatesThe acclaimed author of How Asia Works brings his "pithy, well-written and intellectually vigorous" (Financial Times) reporting to Africa, revealing essential, promising lessons about the engines of economic growth across the continentThe culmination of twenty years spent studying Asian economics, Joe Studwell's celebrated How Asia Works revealed the key policies behind the meteoric growth of the "Asian tigers." The question he kept hearing from those inspired by his clear-eyed understanding of global development: what about Africa? He was finally convinced to investigate further when the inquiries began coming from Africans themselves. A decade of research, travel and on-the-ground reporting began.Studwell expected that Africa's challenging geography and its crippling legacies of colonialism would necessitate a unique developmental recipe. Yet to his astonishment, the African countries that succeeded did so by embracing the very same strategies their Asian counterparts had--strategies that are far different from those foisted on Africa by the international community. He explores these winning policies via four countries that have seen exceptional economic growth (Botswana, Mauritius, Ethiopia and Rwanda) and that demonstrate both the promise and the particular challenge of the African context. Highlighting the achievements of local leaders, Studwell argues that prosperity is well within reach and that the rapidly rising population--seen as alarming by so many--will be foundational to Africa's flourishing. How Africa Works is essential, optimistic reading for anyone looking to understand the next chapter of global development.

Global Law and Sustainable Development

Given the significant developments in Indian economic and trade policymaking over the last two decades, this book provides an authoritative and timely analysis of the transformation and current state of India's foreign economic policy. The work presents a comprehensive, informed and critical overview of negotiating issues addressed in the recent period leading up to the substantial conclusion of the Trade Facilitation Agreement. The volume also takes into account the geopolitical considerations that influenced the negotiations. Finally, the reform steps being taken by India need to be understood in light of the structural changes in the economy, fuelling domestic compulsion, and the analysis covers this undercurrent in detail. The book will be a valuable guide to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of international trade law, development economics and global politics.

Special and Differential Treatment Reform in the WTO

Banking and finance has emerged as a leading sector of the Indian economy. Notwithstanding this, due to its technical nature, the sector has by and large remained outside the purview of the uninitiated readers. The Routledge Handbook of Indian Banking and Finance is devoted to analytical accounts of various aspects of Indian banking and finance and tries to address this vacuum.Written in non-technical language by prominent academics and industry experts, each chapter explores the basic tenets and current challenges within Indian banking and finance across three core areas: institutions, markets, and regulation. Institutions cover issues relating to commercial banks, co-operative banks, technological aspects of banking, mutual funds, insurance, or financial inclusion. Various markets are covered as well, and these include equity, bond, commodities, private equity, forex, money, real estate finance, or alternative assets. The regulatory section addresses the regulation of banking, the risk management practices and norms in the banking sector, insurance, pension funds, the securities market, and the role of government in finance. The chapters provide a comprehensive narrative tracing the evolutionary chronicle of a particular segment of the financial sector while delving into current issues and speculating on the shape of things to come.Offering comprehensive coverage, this book will be a go-to resource for beginners and specialists alike. It will be of interest to those working with corporate finance, banking, finance, economics, business and industry, management and marketing, and banking- and finance-related law.

The Political Economy of Oil in Venezuela

Die 1941 gegründete Kontinentale Öl AG sollte die Ölquellen des Kaukasus ausbeuten und damit die Grundlage für den von den Nazis erträumten Endsieg legen.

Der Zweite Weltkrieg war ein Krieg der Panzer, Lastkraftwagen und Flugzeuge. Öl bildete die unverzichtbare Grundlage für die Feldzüge. Das Deutsche Reich verfügte nur über geringe Vorkommen und war deshalb auf die Eroberung einer Ölbasis angewiesen. Die 1941 gegründete Kontinentale Öl AG sollte ein Gegengewicht zu den großen alliierten Ölkonzernen bilden und vor allem die reichen Erdölquellen des Kaukasus ausbeuten. Da dieses Gebiet jedoch nicht dauerhaft besetzt werden konnte, mussten sich die Nationalsozialisten mit anderen europäischen Regionen - Rumänien, Galizien, Estland - begnügen.
Das halb staatliche, halb privatwirtschaftliche Unternehmen band alle relevanten wirtschaftlichen, staatlichen, politischen und militärischen Interessengruppen ein. Die 'Konti' bildete so ein Modell für künftige, 'kontinental' orientierte Konzerne. Die hochfliegenden Zukunftspläne standen im Kontrast zum operativen Scheitern der Kontinentalen Öl AG. Insgesamt eröffnet die Geschichte dieses Unternehmens einen neuen Blick auf die NS-Wirtschaft, die herrschende Klasse des Regimes, also die hochrangigen Vertreter aus Wirtschaft, Partei, Militär und Staatsbürokratie, und die politisch-militärischen Entscheidungen. Er ist dazu geeignet, vermeintlich gesicherte Erkenntnisse über das Verhältnis von Politik und Ökonomie infrage zu stellen.

Öl für den Endsieg

Im Juli 2021 verabschiedete der Stadtrat von São Paulo ein 'Gesetz der solidarischen Ökonomie Paul-Singer' und im Dezember 2024 unterzeichnet Präsident Lula ein Gesetz zur Schaffung der Nationalen Politik der Solidarischen Ökonomie (PNES). Beides macht deutlich, dass der politisch-theoretische Ansatz des 2018 verstorbenen Ökonomen und Sozialisten nicht nur weiterlebt, sondern praktische Wirkung erlangt. Insofern ergriffen Menschen, die lange mit Singer zusammenarbeiteten, die Initiative, eines seiner letzten Bücher in mehreren Sprachen zu publizieren. Maßgeblichen Anteil daran hatte André Ricardo de Souza (Professor an der Universidad de Sao Carlos in Sao Paulo), ein aktiver Förderer von Theorie und Praxis der Solidarischen Ökonomie in Brasilien.
In vier Teilen entwickelt Singer den Unterschied zwischen sozialer und politischer Revolution, um den zeitgenössischen Kapitalismus zu verstehen und Perspektiven jenseits des Neoliberalismus aufzuzeigen. 'Denn das Scheitern des ¿real existierenden Sozialismus¿ zeigte, dass ein ¿Sozialismus ohne Anführungsstriche¿ [... zwar] in der Gegenposition zu der kapitalistischen Produktionsweise, [aber] innerhalb derselben sozialen Formation aufgebaut werden müsse.' Dafür sind die 'Errichtung von Genossenschaften und anderen Institutionen mit sozialistischem Charakter wie vor allem die Gewerkschaften, aber auch die Verteidgung des allgemeinen Wahlrechts (Demokratie), des Arbeitsrecht und der Sozialversicherung (Wohlfahrtsstaat)' bereits im Kapitalismus wichtig.
Dabei weist er zu Recht auf einen gravierenden Widerspruch hin: Der demokratische Weg, der mit dem Sieg über den Nazifaschismus begann, stößt auf die Grenzen einer Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik, die vom Finanzmarkt diktiert werden. 'Das Schicksal und die Möglichkeiten der sozialistischen Revolution hängt in dieser Phase der Geschichte davon ab, wie dieser Widerspruch gelöst wird.'
Michael Löwy schreibt im Vorwort: 'Paul Singer war einer der bedeutendsten Denker des demokratischen Sozialismus unserer Zeit. Er engagierte sich intensiv in der brasilianischen Arbeiterbewegung und im Kampf für eine sozialistische Zukunft Brasiliens, war aber dennoch ein Universalgeist, dessen Schriften [...] es verdienen, in allen Sprachen gelesen zu werden. [...] Die Übersetzung dieses Buches in die Sprache Goethes und Marx' ist daher [...] sehr zeitgemäß.'

Eine militante Utopie

A searing exposé of the new tools of corporate profiteering and a field guide to the deceptive tactics companies are using to cheat consumers out of their money—and how we can get ahead of them—from a leading voice in economic policy and executive director of a corporate watchdog think tank Everywhere you turn, Americans are getting ripped off: Landlords use software to band together and organize artificial rent hikes. Ride-sharing apps spike the price of trips when your phone is about to die. Online ticket sellers hide behind exorbitant processing fees. And car companies install software that reports your driving behavior to insurance companies so that they can raise your premiums. Price gouging is the latest frontier in corporate profiteering—and it’s gutting the American economy and your wallet. In Gouged, economist and veteran consumer advocate Lindsay Owens takes us inside the corporate boardrooms where pricing decisions are made, uncovering the tricks, traps, and outright fraud corporations use to jack up the price you pay at checkout. From data collection to drone surveillance, modern technology provides companies a staggering arsenal of sophisticated tools to squeeze as much money out of consumers as possible, bringing in record profits as a result. Drawing on original reporting, shareholder meeting transcripts, and rigorous economic analysis, Owens takes aim at big-tech behemoths, airlines, health insurance companies, and more to pull back the curtain on how price gougers are coming for almost every line item in your household budget, from doctors’ visits to rent, groceries, and even your summer vacation. Gouged arms us with the essential knowledge we need to first recognize, then sidestep the traps that corporations try to conceal from us. In a world where price gouging has become ubiquitous, Gouged is necessary reading for anyone looking to stay an informed consumer, save money rather than surrender it to greedy CEOs, and stand up for fair prices in America.
