Zeng J: A Legal Theory of State-Owned
Enterprises

A Legal Theory of State-Owned Enterprises

The China Experience

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.

Deciphering the Law, Economics and Politics

India’s Foreign Economic Policy

Governments around the world are privatizing everything, with dramatic but largely ignored negative consequences for human rights. This open access book outlines the response that is urgently needed. Corporations are being given control over water, healthcare, housing, public transportation, child welfare services, aged care, and much else. Privatization is promoted by international financial institutions, consulting firms, and development actors as the answer to public finances devastated by the very tax cuts insistently pushed by these groups. Their pitch is based upon a mythology that extols the virtues of an idealized market while ignoring the heavy human rights costs incurred. Building on the latest evidence and on specially commissioned case studies, this book shows how the touted 'efficiency' of the private sector is often predicated on higher charges and/or reduced services, destructive employment practices, and the highly predictable exclusion of many users. Privatization generally costs states more money, marginalizes democratic decision-making, and transforms citizens from rights-holders into customers while sidelining accountability. The authors develop an approach designed to enable human rights actors, including courts, UN treaty monitoring bodies, and NGOs to move beyond their longstanding agnosticism towards privatization. It starts with a presumption that privatization is inherently retrogressive in human rights terms. Whatever mix of public and private is reflected in any given arrangement, governments must retain the degree of control necessary to ensure respect for rights, and the legal, financial and administrative ability to do so. The book charts a new direction for responding to the ever-growing threat that privatization poses to human rights. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

The Myth of the Rational Market

The European Green Deal appears to have lost some of its impetus: political priorities have changed. Competitiveness, resilience and less bureaucracy are the topics of the day, even used as arguments to reverse achievements of the Green Deal. However, mitigating climate change, and adapting to its consequences, have lost none of their importance: failure to act now risks imposing a disproportionate burden on the young generation; greater resilience against the uncertainties of our time depends on suitable environmental conditions, the availability of workforce, and good and stable international relations. The stocktake offered by this volume establishes where we stand, and whether we can really afford to shift the focus to other priorities.

This title is also available as open access.

Green Deal II - on track for 2030 and 2050?

The book focuses on the most significant man-made sea canals in the context of their strategic importance for maritime global trade. It provides insights into how these canals serve as key supply chains for industries, trade, and the provision of food and energy, emphasizing their central role in sustainability and the world's major shipping routes.Providing a comprehensive introduction to how canals have influenced society, trade, and transport while placing them in the broader context of their strategic importance for maritime global trade through sustainability, the book offers insights and practical understanding of how canals manage the needs of the planet, the viability of financial systems, and human well-being to meet human, economic, and logistical needs. The driving forces behind and examples of major canal projects are explored, and the book invites reflection on how human interventions in nature with the subsequent use of large resources affect the landscape at the intersection of future transport needs and environmental concerns to ensure economic development.Students and the public interested in canals, economic or logistical challenges between continents and nations, and in the context of global sustainability goals, will easily access necessary information on these topics, including industries such as ship operators, charterers, ports, industry, and maritime service providers, as well as international organizations and governmental institutions, for updates related to international maritime trade and the important role of canals.

Great American Investments

In this volume covering the long sweep of US industrial policy, Marco R. Di Tommaso and Vinod K. Aggarwal contextualize the current moment of industrial policy and its possible consequences. In an era marked by international tension and global challenges, governments have responded by increasing their focus on industrial policy to enhance certain economic sectors. The United States is often seen to be a free-market economy lacking significant government intervention. However, the use of industrial policy in the United States is far from new. The American government has long played an essential role in industrialization from Hamilton's plan for manufacturing to Biden's turn to industrial policy in green industries and semiconductors and to Trump's tariff policies. In Governing Growth, Marco R. Di Tommaso and Vinod K. Aggarwal chart this history of American industrial policy spanning from the Founding Fathers to Donald Trump's current presidency. They explore the "pre-history" of American industrial policy, tracking how the government balanced industry and societal needs up until the crisis of the 1970s. Pointing to the parallels between Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, Di Tommaso and Aggarwal identify the pivot to neoliberalism in the 1980s. Even in this climate, they point out that there remained a significant gap between rhetoric promoting free trade and protectionist policies. Finally, they compare the recent presidencies of Obama, Biden, and Trump, exploring how the vastly different backgrounds, approaches, and ideologies of these politicians affected US industrial policy. Di Tommaso and Aggarwal speak to the importance of understanding burgeoning industrial policy around the world through a historical lens, and ultimately the book also offers context to Trump's unique approach to trade protection and industrial policy and the likely consequences.
