China Perspectives

This book systematically examines how the digitalization of global value chains (GVCs) has driven the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry. It reveals the intrinsic mechanisms and pathways through which digital technologies reshape the international division of labor and promote industrial upgrading.Integrating theory with empirical analysis, the book establishes an innovative measurement framework for GVC digitalization. Using data from China's manufacturing sectors from 2000 to 2020, the book evaluates the quality of industrial development across five dimensions: innovation, coordination, green development, openness, and sharing. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the characteristics, challenges, and multidimensional impacts of Chinese manufacturing's integration into digital GVCs. Using rigorous econometric models, the study demonstrates that digitalization primarily advances high-quality manufacturing development through three channels: reducing transaction costs, fostering technological innovation, and optimizing resource allocation. Finally, the book proposes strategic pathways and policy implications targeted to China's manufacturing industry, offering a solid theoretical foundation and decision-making reference for achieving value chain upgrading and structural optimization in the digital era.This book will be valuable for scholars and policymakers in the fields of the digital economy, global value chains, international trade, and industrial economics, as well as for university students and industry professionals.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license

Australian Steel in a Globalised World

What can one city tell us about the global textile waste problem? This Open Access study is the first detailed ethnography of clothing waste infrastructures that starts where the problem starts - the Global North. Based on more than 100 interviews, cultural anthropologist Heike Derwanz follows the journey of fast fashion in Hamburg, Germany: starting with two women from different socio-economic backgrounds sorting through their wardrobes, travelling through local flea markets, eBay, church clothes banks, upcycling brands and recycling sites, only to end up in homes and waste heaps in the Global South. Bringing together human agents such as designers, social workers and vintage sellers with objects from containers, plastic sacks and internet platforms to piles of sorted textiles, this on-the-ground cultural study reveals how the global economic system of fast fashion shapes local infrastructures entangled in everyday lives. Combining material culture, waste studies and economic perspectives to scrutinize the so-called circular economy of today's global textile recycling market, Derwanz investigates what agency modern consumers really have in the lifecycle of their clothes. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.

Routledge Revivals

First published in 1983, French Planning in Theory and Practice (now with a new preface by the authors) provides the first detailed account since the late 1960's of the French system of economic planning, and its relevance for other market economies. It offers an original and non-technical rationale for planning in a market system and examines the decline in French planning, at a time when the new government was attempting to extend the traditional planning system.The initial theoretical part of the book is primarily addressed to economists. It reviews the literature on indicative planning and argues that it is severely deficient, above all in failing to take account of the implications of uncertainty on private decision-making. These problems have empirical relevance for the French experience, and lead to the proposal for a different form of planning, supplying co-ordination that would not be spontaneously forthcoming in the public or private sectors. The analysis goes beyond the scope of French planning and has policy relevance for all market economies.Although written with the main analytic issues in mind, the remainder of the book stands independently as a comprehensive study of planning in France. It traces the gradual loosening of the links between policy making and planning in France and tries to draw the lessons from this experience for the practice of planning. The authors conclude that the type of planning that had seemed so successful in the 1960's was simply no longer possible in the economic and political climate of the 1970's, yet no real attempt was made to define an alternative role for the plan. The political and administrative authorities were happy to see planning fade. The arrival of the Socialist government offered great scope for the revival of the process, but the authors caution against supposing that political will was the only vital ingredient. The book is based on extensive interviews with planners, analysts, and decision-makers as well as on published and unpublished written and statistical sources.

French Planning in Theory and Practice

This book explores the evolution of sovereign wealth funds in Africa and their increasing significance for facilitating transaction-based economic development. How sovereign investment can address sustainable economic growth, infrastructure development, and sovereign debt reduction is presented.
 
 Innovations in sovereign investment based on climate finance solutions, asset recycling and monetization, overcoming donor gaps in social sectors, capital markets products, and mobilizing co-investment funds from commercial institutions are also highlighted. An empirical framework for assessing the potential of African sovereign wealth funds to become economic powerhouses is also offered.
 
 The book provides a roadmap for how every African country can and should establish a sovereign wealth or development fund, including those not endowed with a generous supply of natural resources.&nbsp; It will be relevant to fund managers, development professionals, commercial investors, students and researchers interested in African political economy.
 Wilmot Allen, Phd
 , is a political economist, entrepreneur and visiting researcher with the Africa Studies Program at the Walsh School of Foreign Service of Georgetown University. Based in Nairobi, he is an emerging market investor, trade specialist and advisor to sovereign funds.
 Michael Kottoh&nbsp;

World Scientific Studies in International Economics

This volume is a collection of Jota Ishikawa's past and recent research on strategic trade policy. Chapters one and two are concerned with technical matters when studying strategic trade policy rather than the analysis of strategic trade policy itself. The chapters particularly introduce an innovative method of illustrating the Cournot-oligopoly equilibrium and the Cournot-oligopsony equilibrium on the price-quantity plane. Chapter three surveys the pioneering work by James A Brander and Barbara J Spencer and examines several points that are often overlooked or misunderstood when discussing theoretical models of strategic trade policy. Chapters four through six deal with market integration through trade liberalization in the context of strategic trade policy. It is shown that trade liberalization may generate unexpected effects. Chapters seven through nine investigate trade costs and trade policies in the presence of firm heterogeneity. Implications obtained in these chapters are different from those in the Melitz model. Chapters 10 and 11 are concerned with information about strategic trade policies. In particular, these chapters study what information is needed when employing strategic trade policies. Chapters 12 through 15 explore strategic trade policies with intermediate inputs. As global value chains develop, it is becoming increasingly important to analyze trade policies in vertical market structures.

Defences in International Investment Law

THE MUST-READ GUIDE TO THE TRADE WAR 'A smart, vivid and humane account of the way the world really works' TIM HARFORD 'This is the book to read if you want to understand what might be about to hit the world economy' EVAN DAVIS The dangerous race for self-sufficiency has begun. Be warned. Nations are turning away from each other. Faith in globalisation has been fatally undermined by the pandemic, the energy crisis, surging trade frictions and swelling great power rivalry. A new vision is vying to replace what we've known for many decades. This vision - Exile Economics - entails a rejection of interdependence, a downgrading of multilateral collaboration and a striving for greater national self-sufficiency. The supporters of this new order argue it will establish genuine security, prosperity and peace. But is this promise achievable? Or a seductive delusion? Through the stories of globally traded commodities - from silicon to steel and from soybeans to solar panels - economics journalist Ben Chu illustrates the intricate web of interdependence that has come to bind nations together - and underlines the dangers of this new push to isolationism. Exile Economics is an essential guide to this new world in all its promise and peril.

Palgrave Insights into Apocalypse Economics

This book reassesses classic Marxist theories of finance capital and uneven development in the context of the present intensified process of financialization and the accentuation of combined and accelerating uneven development. In particular, the work of Hilferding and Luxemburg is discussed and re-framed in light of both the contributions of Marx and more recent engagements by David Harvey and Neil Smith. The book explores the case of South Africa in particular in light of the combination of a rapidly financializing yet crisis-ridden South African political economy on the one hand and intensifying social inequality and political conflict on the other.&nbsp;It explores a series of strategies and possibilities that might open up trajectories for change and transformation with particular attention paid to the promises and constraints of the de-growth movement and intersectional class struggle, which will appeal to political economists, researchers, and students alongside those studying South Africa specifically. Patrick Bond is a political economist and professor at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. He spent more than two decades teaching at the Wits University School of Governance in Johannesburg and the University of KwaZulu-Natal Centre for Civil Society in Durban. During the late 1980s he pursued doctoral studies in economic geography at Johns Hopkins University, while learning politics in the anti-apartheid, labour, student and community movements. In 1994 and 1996, he worked in the Reconstruction and Development Ministry in President Nelson Mandela’s office, drafting the democratic government’s first White Paper and a dozen other major policy documents. He appears more than 100 times a year on South African and international broadcast media, and usually gives more than 50 guest lectures annually.

Financial Volatility, Deep Capitalist Crisis and Super-Exploitation in South Africa and the World

Extreme Uneven Development

As the tech billionaires dominate the headlines, this groundbreaking book reveals the overlooked yet formidable influence of multi-generational family wealth on the global economy. It provides essential insights into the largest wealth transfer in human history - as 2% of the global population inherits vast fortunes over the next 25 years - revealing how this tsunami of inherited capital will transform investment landscapes, industrial financing, and potentially undermine nation-state autonomy.Drawing from extensive research and industry expertise, David Molian charts the meteoric rise of ultra-wealthy dynasties whose collective impact rivals - and may outlast - Silicon Valley's tech titans. It charts the historical patterns behind industry-dominating family businesses and their evolution into business dynasties, and how the coming $30+ trillion wealth transfer will reshape global finance, investment, and economic development. In stagnating economic times, the search for growth and prosperity dominates government agendas throughout the world. The evidence suggests that family businesses outpace their peers. Through numerous case histories and industry analyses, this book explains why and how harnessing and supporting their success may be a critical part of regenerating national economies. It also explains the forces - chiefly the components of globalism - that have propelled family wealth in the eastern hemisphere in the last half-century.Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand where true economic power lies in the 21st century, the book is specifically of interest to professionals involved in family business, including private banks, family offices, family consultants, law firms, and large accountancy practices.

Routledge Research in Human Rights Law

Business and Human Rights in Africa raises interesting questions about the legitimacy and long-term viability of the business and human rights agenda in Africa, and in developing countries more generally. It explores the key issues for business and human rights in Africa and asks how and to what extent are the UN Guiding Principles changing the law and policy in Africa or the behavior of businesses operating in the continent? The book examines both the international and regional legal and policy initiatives on business and human rights in Africa and how these initiatives are being implemented in selected countries.
