This book provides unique insight into the challenges and opportunities of structural transformation and economic development in Africa. It highlights the vital role played by enterprise, in particular the participation of women in this process, and the importance of supply chains and global value chains. Detailed case studies from across Africa show the range and variety of economic issues faced within the continent. A particular focus is given to infrastructure development, food security, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, currency crises, entrepreneurship in Africa, microfinance, the circular economy, and corporate social responsibility.
This book offers an applied and policy relevant guide to the structural transformation of African economies at national and local levels. It will be relevant to researchers and policymakers interested in development economics, global supply chains, and international trade.

Opportunities and Challenges

Structural Transformation and Economic Development in Africa

In Understanding International Trade, Reto Foellmi and Stefan Legge provide a clear, structured, and profound introduction to the theory of international trade. Designed for students and practitioners with an interest in global economics, the book explains why nations trade, how trade affects welfare and income distribution, and what determines the patterns and volume of global trade flows. Starting with the earliest trade models, such as Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage, the book walks through a range of foundational and advanced models, seeking a deep understanding while avoiding technical overload. It includes the Heckscher-Ohlin framework, specific-factors models, the Dornbusch-Fischer-Samuelson and the Eaton-Kortum model. It then transitions to modern trade theory, covering increasing returns to scale, monopolistic competition, and firm-level heterogeneity as in the Krugman and Melitz models. Each model is presented with a clear setup, graphical illustrations, and economic intuition, allowing readers to understand the underlying mechanisms as well as policy implications. The book emphasizes both the theoretical and empirical relevance of trade models. It explains how trade costs, productivity differences, and endowment structures influence trade flows, and introduces tools like the gravity equation for analyzing real-world data. While it focuses on real trade in goods, it also touches on factor mobility and the role of institutions in shaping trade outcomes. A comprehensive yet approachable guide with exercises at the end of each chapter, this book offers a better understanding of the logic, structure, and real-world relevance of international trade theory.

Insights from Trade Theory

Understanding International Trade

The book examines South Korea's evolving role in the global economic legal framework by analyzing how this developed nation navigates complex trade relationships, shapes international norms, and addresses emerging challenges in a rapidly changing world order.Through detailed case studies of South Korea's economic diplomacy with major partners, it traces the country's strategic transition from adhering to GATT rules to becoming a leader in regional free trade agreements. It also explores South Korea's innovative methods of integrating sustainability and digitalization into its trade policy. The book provides a clear understanding of how a developed Asian economy balances domestic priorities with international obligations. By investigating the causal mechanisms behind its policy choices, the book assesses the strengths and weaknesses of South Korea's strategies as an influential middle power, and their global impact.This book will be of interest to scholars and policymakers in international economic law, comparative law, international trade and investment law, particularly those interested in Asian perspectives on global economic governance.

Routledge Research in International Economic Law

This book discusses the transformative potential of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and its profound impact on three distinct member states: Nigeria, Kenya, and Ethiopia. It explores how the AfCFTA, grounded in pan-African values and founded upon trade theories, can provide a pathway to inclusive and sustainable development.Asking key questions of the AfCFTA, the book discusses whether its rules-based trade framework alone can catalyse development and argues that effective implementation hinges upon aligning domestic environments with the core aims of the AfCFTA and bolstering institutional capacity in its member states. It also underscores the critical need to address constraints such as infrastructural deficits, trade finance challenges, and productive capacity deficits. Through combining insights from law and development theory with economic integration theories, the book creates a comprehensive framework for analysing the domestic legal conditions essential for advancing the AfCFTA's developmental objectives. This approach accommodates the diverse political economies, economic policies, political histories, and development outlooks of each member state.This book will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of trade law and who have an interest in the AfCFTA.

Regional Trade Agreements in Africa

Global Governance

This book examines the transformative changes in international corporate taxation from 2008 to 2021, culminating in the landmark October 2021 Agreement that fundamentally altered multinational business taxation.The study analyses how the 2008 Financial Crisis and 2020 COVID-19 pandemic catalysed reform through G-20 and OECD initiatives, resulting in a two-pillar framework with conditional mismatch rules and a 15% minimum Effective Corporate Tax Rate applied country-by-country.Through empirical, comparative, and meta-historical analysis, the author reveals the decisive influence of the Transnational Tax Policy Community (TTPC) as agenda-setter, adviser, and gatekeeper. Despite the TTPC's significant role, the research demonstrates that domestic politics substantially impact implementation and enforcement outcomes.The work introduces a Dynamic Model of Corporate Tax Governance that not only explains recent revolutionary changes but also predicts future developments in global tax governance, illuminating the ongoing tension between multilateral cooperation and state sovereignty in international taxation.

Crisis, Consensus, and Revolution

Global Corporate Tax Governance

The story of trade is the story of humanity. From the copper in Mesopotamian ploughs to the silicon atoms within the chip inside your smartphone, intricate global trading networks have evolved over millennia to fulfil the distinctly human desire to buy and sell. Today, the volume of trade bestriding the planet is unprecedented. Yet, as fractures in the global order emerge - from an era of globalisation and untrammelled flows of goods and money to a new world of restrictions, intervention and, possibly, war - understanding this fundamental shift to the dominant economic consensus is more important than ever. In TRADE WORLD, bestselling, award-winning author Ed Conway tells this extraordinary story through these three commonplace products - bread, cloth and cars. With a compelling blend of economic history and first-hand access to key figures and institutions, he takes us from policy treaties to ground level to show us the people who make, ship and sometimes smuggle the products we buy on a daily basis. Discover the hidden, shifting trade world behind everything you see around you.

IPP Studies in the Frontiers of China’s Public Policy

This book explores the roles of land and housing in the China economic development. The real estate sector in China has two opposite effects on the urban economy. On one hand, it provides funds for urban development and on the other hand, its excessive expansion would depress the urban growth. To balance the two effects, the governments try to adjust their regulation policies dynamically. These policies to a great extent determine the rise and fall of urban economy. This book is divided in to four parts. The first part elaborates the relationship between the real estate sector and urban economy and explains the mechanism of the former’s impact on the later. The second part investigates the interaction of the real estate sector and the industrial sector and the consequences. The third part discusses the real estate tax reform and the affordable housing system. At the last part, I discuss the prospect of China real estate economy through the case of Evergrand’s debt crisis. The real estate sector is an essential part of China’s model of economic development, so this book will interest those readers who want to know the Chinese miracle of growth.

This book provides a critical examination of the deficiencies in decent work within global supply chains. It explicitly identifies and discusses the core elements of decent work as defined by the International Labour Organisation's (ILO) decent work agenda, while underscoring the essential international human and labour rights principles that are integral to achieving these standards. The study firmly asserts that multinational enterprises (MNEs) have a pivotal role in advancing decent work initiatives. However, it is undeniable that many of these enterprises frequently fail to comply with established decent work standards. MNEs have gained stronger international influence, and they are able to move their businesses to countries with low cost of labour and less regulations. This phenomenon weakens the governments of host nations as they are keen to promote foreign direct investment in order to reduce unemployment and to ensure economic growth. As a result, the host nations are encouraged to set laws that will attract MNEs at the expense of human and core labour rights. As a result, MNEs are not held accountable in respect of alleged abuses of human and labour rights.
This book recommends regulatory reforms, which will empower the ILO to intervene to prevent human and labour rights violations by MNEs and where such violations occur, to at least provide effective remedies to vulnerable employees.

This book offers a pioneering critical assessment of the United Nations Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation, adopted in principle by the UN General Assembly on 23 December 2024. Marking a pivotal step toward reconfiguring global tax governance, the Convention aims to establish a new legal foundation for international tax cooperation: one that prioritizes community interests such as sustainable development, equitable taxation, and respect for human rights.
Departing from the predominantly bilateral structure of existing tax frameworks, this book draws on the adopted United Nations Resolutions to evaluate the Convention’s strengths, limitations, and transformative potential. Through both normative and practical analysis, the book explores whether this unprecedented development can foster a more coherent, inclusive, and just international tax system.

Reconstructing Global Tax Governance

This book provides an in-depth legal examination of limited partnership in the context of China's venture capital and private equity market. It aims to provide an authoritative and timely evaluation of the Chinese partnership law and limited partnership regime and will be a valuable tool for practitioners who need a readily available source of information on Chinese partnership law and those who wish to understand how the Chinese partnership regime operates and functions. The book explains the essential characteristics of Chinese partnership law and Chinese limited partnership, highlighting difficult and developing areas by examining relevant legislation and recent cases. In addition to Chinese authorities, it also covers legislation and cases from overseas jurisdictions, such as the UK and the US. New developments such as the amendments to the PRC Partnership Enterprise Law 2007, new legislation and regulations on foreign partnerships and private equity funds are also covered. The book explains the essential areas of Chinese limited partnership such as management and control, duties and liabilities of partners, remedies for limited partners, dissolution, liquidation and taxation. Based on thorough comparative and empirical studies, the book examines existing and potential legal problems under the current law and offers key proposals for practitioners and lawmakers. The empirical problems identified in the book may also guide subsequent discussion and legislation on the limited partnership model and the ongoing debate on new business vehicles.
