Cambridge University Press Export Restrictions on Critical Minerals and Metals
Book SynopsisIlaria Espa analyses the scope and coverage of WTO disciplines on export restrictions in light of emerging case law. She investigates whether such rules still provide an effective framework that is capable of preventing abuses in the use of export restrictive measures on critical minerals and metals.Trade Review'In conclusion, academics, students, and practitioners should consider this contribution as an excellent overview of the topic of export restrictions that is not limited to a presentation of the current disciplines, but that also offers an insight into the future by explaining how these disciplines might develop. Recent developments, such as the third export restriction complaint brought against China in the WTO, and the imposition of export duties on scrap metals by Ukraine constitute evidence of the continuing relevance of this fascinating topic.'

Cambridge University Press The Kremlin Strikes Back Russia and the West
Book SynopsisAmerica and Europe responded to Russia's annexation of Crimea on March 18, 2014 by discarding their policy of East-West partnership and reverting intermittently to a policy of cold war. The West believes that this on-again/off-again second Cold War will end with Russia's capitulation because it is not a sufficiently great power, while the Kremlin's view is just the opposite; Vladimir Putin believes that if Moscow has strategic patience, Russia can recover some of the geostrategic losses that it incurred when the Soviet Union collapsed. The Kremlin Strikes Back scrutinizes the economic prospects of both sides, including factors like military industrial prowess, warfighting capabilities, and national resolve, addressing particularly hot-button issues such as increasing military spending, decreasing domestic spending, and other policies. Stephen Rosefielde aims to objectively gauge future prospects and the wisdom of employing various strategies to address Russian developments.Trade Review'Professor Rosefielde has given us a carefully researched, well-informed, and analytically rigorous study which shows that Russia is economically and militarily stronger than the West concedes. He explains the political situations which make for a formula for a new cold war and resulting piecemeal humiliation of the West. No one else writing about Russia offers this provocative and significant perspective.' Quinn Mills, Harvard University, Massachusetts'Once again Steven Rosefielde undermines the sacred cows of conventional wisdom about Russia and challenges us to reconsider our ideas about Putin's system. Whether or not we agree or disagree with Rosefielde's arguments, we must reckon with them first, as they certainly will assault our intellectual complacency. A provocative and forcefully argued study.' Stephen Blank, Senior Fellow, American Foreign Policy Council'This volume examines the strategies and prospects of both Russia and the West visà-vis their conflict over Crimea. While the West is said to believe that Russia's weaknesses will eventually lead it to capitulate, Russia is said to believe that a patient approach will allow it to recover its geostrategic prominence.'

Cambridge University Press A Concise History of International Finance
Book SynopsisEver since the financial crisis of 2008, doubts have been raised about the future of capitalism. In this broad-ranging survey of financial capitalism from antiquity to the present, Larry Neal reveals the ways in which the financial innovations throughout history have increased trade and prosperity as well as improving standards of living. These innovations have, however, all too often led to financial crises as a result of the failure of effective coordination among banks, capital markets and governments. The book examines this key interrelationship between financial innovation, government regulation and financial crises across three thousand years, showing through past successes and failures the key factors that underpin any successful recovery and sustain economic growth. The result is both an essential introduction to financial capitalism and also a series of workable solutions that will help both to preserve the gains we have already achieved and to mitigate the dangers of future cTrade Review'This is the most impressive, most comprehensive, and most up-to-date single volume history of finance there is. Its central argument about the beneficial effects of financial innovation - along with the many cautionary tales of how and why things go sour, of the consequences of adequate mechanisms for ensuring commitment and responsibility - make it at once a classic, whose influence will endure a long time.' Harold James, author of The End of Globalization: Lessons from the Great Depression'This is an outstanding concise history of international finance. It documents the path of finance from the personal to the impersonal, from ancient to modern times. This is not merely a summary of what others have done, but soundly based on Larry Neal's own careful research. As Neal writes in chapter one, he wants to look historically at where there were effective solutions to financial difficulties and how these 'solutions' played out through time. The book is a splendid introduction to the history of international finance.' Mira Wilkins, co-author of Global Electrification: Multinational Enterprise and International Finance in the History of Light and Power, 1878–2007'A rich mix of wide-ranging, keenly known historical specifics, conceptual constructions, broad long-term horizons, and narrative unfolding. An erudite and thoughtful gem, reflecting a lifetime of scholarship and reflection.' Richard Roberts, author of Saving the City: The Great Financial Crisis of 1914'Did you know that modern international finance had its origin in financing the Crusades? Larry Neal reveals interconnections between international finance and wars, trade, governments and even religion in his concise history. [He] vividly chronicles a thousand years of financial innovations, demonstrating that financial crises gradually emerged as more potent stimuli to financial innovation than religion.' Peter Temin, co-author of Keynes: Useful Economics for the World Economy'As economists and policy makers are drawn to history for a deeper understanding of the wonders and dangers of financial innovation, Neal's outstanding scholarship provides the much-needed introduction to financial development from the Assyrian times to the present. It will remain the standard reference for years to come.' Gianni Toniolo, co-author of The World Economy Between the WarsTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2.

Cambridge University Press Ocean of Trade South Asian Merchants Africa and the Indian Ocean c17501850
Book SynopsisOcean of Trade offers an innovative study of trade, production and consumption across the Indian Ocean between the years 1750 and 1850. Focusing on the VÄniyÄ merchants of Diu and Daman, Pedro Machado explores the region's entangled histories of exchange, including the African demand for large-scale textile production among weavers in Gujarat, the distribution of ivory to consumers in Western India, and the African slave trade in the Mozambique channel that took captives to the French islands of the Mascarenes, Brazil and the Rio de la Plata, and the Arabian peninsula and India. In highlighting the critical role of particular South Asian merchant networks, the book reveals how local African and Indian consumption was central to the development of commerce across the Indian Ocean, giving rise to a wealth of regional and global exchange in a period commonly perceived to be increasingly dominated by European company and private capital.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements; Note on currencies; Abbreviations; Introduction; 1.

Cambridge University Press State Responsibility for Breaches of Investment Contracts
Book SynopsisThere is a wealth of material that shapes the law of State responsibility for breaches of investment contracts. First impressions of an unsettled or uncertain law have thus far gone unchallenged. But unchallenged first impressions point to the need for a detailed study that investigates and analyses the sources, the content, the characteristics, and the evolution of this law. The argument at the heart of this monograph is that the law of state responsibility for breaches of investment contracts has carved a unique and distinct trajectory from the traditional route for the creation of international law, developing principally from arbitral awards, and mimicking, to a considerable extent, the general international law on the protection of aliens and alien property. This book unveils the remarkable journey of the law of state responsibility for breaches of investment contracts, from its origins, to its formation, to its arrival at the cusp of maturity.Trade Review'The author has written an extremely valuable monograph on a topic that surprisingly has received little attention. International investment contracts were once considered the main source of obligations and of consent to binding dispute settlement, yet academic attention has been focused on treaty breach. This text examines the contractual context and makes the link between international responsibility of states under investment contracts and the international law developed through arbitral awards. It is well written and is a superb source of information and explanation about this aspect of international investment law.' Meg Kinnear, Secretary-General, International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes, Washington DC'This monograph is a timely and important contribution to an area of law that is very much in use, but also mired in uncertainty. By analysing the history and development of international law that is specific to contractual protection, the author defines the contours and content of a unique branch of the law of state responsibility. Her thoroughly-researched and provocative thesis promises to engage international investment law scholars, practitioners, and students for years to come.' Hi-Taek Shin, Chairman, Seoul International Dispute Resolution Center'This work is a superlative historical and systematic analysis of legal materials on investment contracts to the present day. As unilateral reforms, both substantive and procedural, are applied to treaty-based investments, compelling foreign investors increasingly to seek contractual protections with a host State, it is likely to become an essential guide for all participants in this specialist field of investor-state investment disputes.' V.V. Veeder, QC, Essex Court Chambers, and Visiting Professor on Investment Arbitration, Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College LondonTable of Contents1. Power and principle in the origins of contractual protection; 2. Arbitral awards and the generation of international law; 3. State responsibility and the core standard of treatment; 4. State responsibility and expropriation; 5. State responsibility and internationalisation; 6. The emerging international law on investment contract protection; 7. The future of international investment contract claims.

Cambridge University Press The Boundaries of the EU Internal Market
Book SynopsisThe book examines the twofold ''boundaries'' of the concept of the European Union''s internal market the geographical and the substantive through the prism of expanding the internal market to third countries without enlarging the Union. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the conditions under which the internal market can effectively be extended to third countries by exporting EU acquis via international agreements without sacrificing its defining characteristics. Theoretical rather than empirical in approach, the book scrutinises and meticulously questions the required level of uniformity within flexible integration relating to the substantive scope of the internal market, the role of foundational principles in the European Union''s market edifice, and the institutional framework necessary for granting third country actors full participation in the internal market while safeguarding the autonomy of the Union''s legal order.Trade Review'This wonderfully rich book interrogates the 'exportability' of the EU's internal market concept. Its application to and in third countries asks questions about its scope and content as well as its constitutional and institutional character. And, as the book reveals, those questions may provoke different answers in different contexts. I am delighted to see its publication.' Stephen Weatherill, Jacques Delors Professor of European Law, University of Oxford'This book by Marja-Liisa Öberg comes at a moment of renewed attention for the so-called 'Brussels effect' as a consequence of the regulatory impact of EU norms in third states. Yet, rather than just highlighting the normative power of the EU, its main contribution lies in revealing the constitutional and institutional limits to exporting the internal market acquis. In that sense, it forms an essential contribution to the ongoing debate.' Ramses A. Wessel, Professor of European Law, University of Groningen'The impact of internal market regulation beyond the EU is central to the EU's external relations and global power. Ambitious 'green' regulation and Brexit will only make it more salient. Marja-Liisa Öberg's book is a penetrating analysis of the law and politics underlying the expansion of EU regulatory power. It accessibly explains how and why the EU's constitutional particularities set boundaries to the internal market's expandability and constructively proposes remedies.' Christina Eckes, Professor of European Law, University of Amsterdam'The title of this book strongly resonates with the current debate on the future UK-EU relationships. But it goes much further than this. It helps make sense of the intensification of the relations between the EU and neighbouring countries in the last decades, where partners share about everything but membership. More critically, it offers us a renewed vision of the Internal Market taking the perspective of its inherent limitations. This book deserves the attention of the specialists of EU external relations law as well as, more broadly, those interested in the real constitution of Europe.' Loïc Azoulai, Professor of European Law, Sciences Po Law School, Paris'This topical, thoughtful, and well set out book analyses how the EU exports its internal market acquis and explores the constitutional and institutional constraints that get in the way.' Panos Koutrakos, Professor of EU Law and Jean Monnet Professor of EU Law, City, University of LondonTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Expanding the internal market: the phenomenon; Part I. Expanding the Internal Market: The Concept: 3. Internal market acquis: the concept; 4. Internal market: unity; 5. Internal market: the constitutional context; Part II.

Cambridge University Press Between Market Economy and State Capitalism
Book SynopsisThis book is a valuable source for research and teaching on the nexus between international trade law and China's state capitalism. It provides fresh insights and practical solutions for policymakers and practitioners on key issues concerning state-owned enterprises, subsidies and beyond.Trade Review'Henry Gao and Weihuan Zhou have done the nearly impossible—unpacked the relationship between the triumph of China and the decline of the WTO while presenting a compelling challenge to the conventional wisdom that WTO rules are inadequate to address Chinese state capitalism. A must read for those looking to understand how China's economic model impacts the world and its trading system.' Jennifer Hillman, Co-Director of Center of Inclusive Trade and Development and Professor from Practice, Georgetown University Law Center'This is a very useful contribution destined for all students and practitioners of international trade. The authors address the core question that has been recently plaguing the world trading regime, namely, to what extent the regime choice is prejudged by the letter and the spirit of the current multilateral disciplines. It is no exaggeration that that the future policy relevance of the WTO hinges on the response to this question.' Petros C. Mavroidis, Edwin B. Parker Professor of Foreign & Comparative Law, Columbia Law School, New York CityTable of Contents1. China, state capitalism and the World Trading System; 2. The evolution of China's reforms of State-Owned Enterprises (1978–2020); 3. State capitalism in China's accession to the WTO: concerns and solutions; 4. The limits of general WTO rules; 5.

The University of Chicago Press The Structure Evolution of Recent U S Trade
Book SynopsisThe trade policies addressed in this book have far-reaching effects on the world's increasingly interdependent economies, but until now little research has been devoted to them. This volume represents the first systematic effort to analyze specific U.S. trade policies, particularly nontariff measures. It provides a better understanding of how trade policies operate, how effective they are, and what their costs and benefits are to trading nations. The contributors chart the history of U.S. trade policy since World War II, analyze industry-specific trade barriers, and discuss the effects of tariff preferences and export-promoting policies such as export credits and domestic international sales corporations (DISCs). The final section of essays examines the worldwide impact of import policies, pointing out subtleties in industry-specific policies and providing insight into the levels of protection in developing countries.
