The University of Chicago Press Knowledge Regulation and National Security in
Book SynopsisThe first historical study of export control regulations as a tool for the sharing and withholding of knowledge. In this groundbreaking book, Mario Daniels and John Krige set out to show the enormous political relevance that export control regulations have had for American debates about national security, foreign policy, and trade policy since 1945. Indeed, they argue that from the 1940s to today the issue of how to control the transnational movement of information has been central to the thinking and actions of the guardians of the American national security state. The expansion of control over knowledge and know-how is apparent from the increasingly systematic inclusion of universities and research institutions into a system that in the 1950s and 1960s mainly targeted business activities. As this book vividly reveals, classification was not the onlyand not even the most importantregulatory instrument that came into being in the postwar era.Trade Review“Daniels and Krige’s attempt is remarkable because of the breadth of the research required, but also because it breaks new ground. . . . This is a necessary, useful, and foundational book for aspects of twentieth- and twenty-first-century US policy that in combination typically get short shrift. For scholars interested in Cold War foreign policy, the history of technology and institutions, sociology, or twentieth-century intellectual history, this will be a book to have.” * Technology and Culture *"This is a terrific and important book. To make sense of our current moment of post-neoliberal revirement, we need new, engaged, and detailed political histories of state institutions. Daniels and Krige show us what that might look like." * H-Diplo Roundtable XXIV-8 *"A valuable and much-needed addition to the literature on export controls. This book will easily become a main reference for anyone trying to understand the development of the US export control system and the central role that knowledge flow controls have played in that process." -- Sam Weiss Evans, Harvard University"An excellent book. It will provide an opening to a critical conversation that is needed in the United States right now on the relationship among export controls, national security, economic competitiveness, and academic freedom.

The University of Michigan Press Chinas Challenges and International Order
Book SynopsisIntroduces a conceptual framework of ""international order"" categorized by three levels (power, rules, norms) and three issue-areas (security, political, economic). Each contributor examines two questions: Has China already challenged this dimension of international order? How will China challenge this dimension of international order in the future?Trade Review“Existing work in this area focuses upon what international order is likely to look like in the future without considering closely enough the current power transition that needs to be successfully negotiated so as to make it to that new order—whatever that order might be. There is nothing like this book on the market at present.” —Brendan Taylor, Professor of Strategic Studies, Australian National University“China's Challenges and International Order Transition: Beyond “Thucydides Trap” is unique in that it brings together several scholarly, sometimes contending, perspectives. It is also useful in bringing in non-Chinese, non-US perspectives on the subject, which is often overly dominated by views from either side of the Pacific—to the detriment of other important perspectives and observations. The book can provide a one-stop overview of scholarly perspectives that draw from a variety of experiences and conceptual viewpoints.” —Ja Ian Chong, National University of Singapore

Book SynopsisOffers a comprehensive political-economic history of the development of the world's multilateral trade institutions, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and its successor, the World Trade Organization (WTO). This book examines the institutions' rules, principles, practices, and norms.Trade Review"The multi-disciplinary approach taken by The Evolution of the Trade Regime will provide any student (graduate and undergraduate) from the fields of political science, law, or economics (or any future policy maker) great insights, both theoretical and practical, into the current and future operations and challenges of the WTO."--Matthew Schaefer, Law and Politics Book Review "This book deserves a broad audience... I highly recommend it for students that have already had some introduction to the politics and the economics of trade. It would be useful in advanced classes in trade, global governance, and law. The volume is a good synthesis of intellectual perspectives that can help students gain greater understanding of the nuances of trade."--Susan Ariel Aaronson, EH.Net "The Evolution of the Trade Regime is a scholarly, well written, and well organized book ... [that] provides a cogent and concise account of the trade regime's evolution... It would be useful for courses in international law, international organization, and the politics of international trade."--Susan K.

Eckes, International History Review "The book is well written and achieves an admirable balance between depth and breadth in its analysis of a complex regime. As an up-to-date review of the trade regime, with original theoretical insights about international institutions, the book should be required reading for both scholars and practitioners of international trade policy."--Christian Davis, Political Science Quarterly "The Evolution of the Trade Regime makes a useful contribution to the literature.

Book SynopsisThe World Trade Organization (WTO) oversees the negotiation and enforcement of formal rules governing international trade. This title investigates the domestic politics behind the filing of WTO complaints, and reveals why formal dispute settlement creates better outcomes for governments and their citizens.Trade ReviewWinner of the 2014 Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Prize, Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Foundation Winner of the 2013 International Law Best Book Award, International Law Section of the International Studies Association Co-Winner of the 2013 Chadwick F. Alger Prize, International Studies Association "Why Adjudicate is a must-read for any scholar interested in legalization of world politics, the role of international courts and the mechanisms of trade policy. I am sure this book will inspire these research programs and the field of International Political Economy for years to come."--Manfred Elsig, Review of International Organizations "Christina L. Davis provides an insightful and careful analysis of the domestic underpinnings of international trade law litigation. Why Adjudicate? fills a real gap in the literature by examining the factors that both shape and determine when states pursue legal challenges before the World Trade Organization's dispute-settlement mechanism... Focusing on the United States and Japan as her primary case studies, she has completed an exceptional and valuable study that will be read by both scholars and professionals for years to come."--Jacqueline Krikorian, Perspectives on Politics "The book provides a cogent and compelling domestic logic... Davis' book, a solid contribution by one of today's leading trade scholars, is also valuable for directing greater attention to how members navigate the multilateral trade regime, which is as important as the judicial activism of its arbitration panels. The book's findings have implications not only for the future of WTO dispute settlement reform--less is better--but for the benefits of legalization more broadly."--Soo Yeon Kim, World Trade ReviewTable of ContentsList of Figures ix List of Tables x Acknowledgments xi List of Abbreviations xv Chapter 1:.Introduction 1 The Enforcement of International Trade Law 6 Overview 20 Chapter 2: Domestic Constraints and Active Enforcement 26 Trade Institutions and Liberalization 29 Political Origins of Demand for Trade Enforcement 39 Hypotheses for Trade Strategies 57 Conclusion 60 Chapter 3.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Unmade in China
Book SynopsisIf you look carefully at how things are actually made in China - from shirts to toys, apple juice to oil rigs - you see a reality that contradicts every widely-held notion about the world's so-called economic powerhouse. From the inside looking out, China is not a manufacturing juggernaut. It's a Lilliputian. Nor is it a killer of American jobs.Trade Review“Unmade in China opens up the black box of China’s domestic and political economy and provides a compelling and detailed analysis of how and why China will be unable to surpass the United States. It is essential reading for policy-makers, government officials and businesses, not only in the US and the West, but also across the globe.”International Affairs "China's economic future will determine the world's future. This important book makes new factually grounded arguments about the challenges China faces. Its arguments deserve attention from anyone with a stake in our economic future."Lawrence H. Summers, former Treasury Secretary and President Emeritus, Harvard University "Challenging conventional wisdom of China's economic supremacy, Haft deftly and entertainingly uncovers how systemic risk in China's economy actually creates millions of jobs in the United States. Unmade in China is a must-read for global policy makers, business leaders, and anyone who wants to understand the US−China trade relationship."Richard Gephardt, former Majority Leader of the US House of Representatives "A clear-eyed analysis of China's fragile economy and its impact on the USA."Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret) Supreme Allied Commander at NATO 2009−2013 and Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University "A systematic, mind-changing, and remarkable read which debunks the myths about China's economic supremacy and provides an optimistic rallying cry for US companies. Outstanding!"Clinton O. Longenecker, Stranahan Distinguished Professor of Leadership and Organizational Excellence, University of Toledo "Jeremy Haft's "Unmade in China" explains why the idea of Declining America vs Rising China is simplistic at best and downright deceptive at worst. He cuts through the emotional responses to China's "rise" to detail why that country's unregulated manufacturing poses important risks—and big opportunities—for Americans. This is a must read for anyone who dares to look to the trees inside China's expanding forest."Ian Bremmer - President of Eurasia Group "A fresh perspective on great risks posed by rampant non-compliance in product quality, process control, management protocols and governance in China dependent global supply chains, which also throws light on the opportunities for US-made products and services in China. An insightful book for anyone interested in doing business in China."Jayashankar M. Swaminathan, GlaxoSmithKline Distinguished Professor of Global Operations and Associate Dean of UNC-Tsinghua EMBA Program and Director of the Global Business Center, Kenan-Flagler Business School, UNC Chapel Hill "Finally, a clearheaded book that cuts through the China hype. With refreshing clarity Jeremy Haft challenges the hackneyed narratives about China's economic might to deliver an eye-opening and corrective analysis on what we thought we knew about everything 'Made in China.'"Jamian Ronca Spadavecchia, president of Oxbow Advisory, a global risk consultancy"This book is fluent in style and full of informative case studies, making it suitable for the general public as well as researchers and policymakers who are interested in a fair reading of China's economy and its increasing impact on global society."Political Studies ReviewTable of ContentsChapter One: Three Myths Chapter Two: Jobs and Jeopardy Chapter Three: The Bad Earth Chapter Four: Risky Business Chapter Five: Chain of Fools Chapter Six: When Regs are Dregs Chapter Seven: What to Do

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Family Life in China
Book SynopsisThe family has long been viewed as both a microcosm of the state and a barometer of social change in China. It is no surprise, therefore, that the dramatic changes experienced by Chinese society over the past century have produced a wide array of new family systems.Trade Review“We are fortunate to have Jankowiak and Moore’s new book, which fills a large gap in the literature and carries the description of changing family dynamics up to the present. It is an ideal text for both undergraduate and graduate courses dealing with family, kinship, or more generally with society and social change in China.” - Myron Cohen, Columbia University “We used to see 'the Chinese family' as a fairly uniform institution shaped by Confucian values. Not any more! Chinese families have had to adapt to a bewildering array of social changes. How they have altered as a result is the focus of this wide-ranging and fascinating volume.” - Martin K. Whyte, Emeritus Department of Sociology, Harvard University"Beyond the excellent description of changing family relationships over the past 120 years, Jankowiak and Moore parsimoniously summarize the significance of an analytic shift from a focus on lineage and corporate family interests to one that privileges affective emotion and individual desires among family members. Both the general reader and undergraduate student will benefit greatly from these distinctions as they conceptualize change over time. [...] It would work well as a required reading in a course on changing families across the world or one on modern Chinese society" - Deborah Davis, The China Journal "Family Life in China provides a broad historical and ethnographic overview on changes in family life. As such it is a particularly useful introduction for students in sociology, ethnology or sinology and for all those interested in everyday life in China." New Books AsiaTable of Contents1.

It is an ideal text for both undergraduate and graduate courses dealing with family, kinship, or more generally with society and social change in China.” Myron Cohen, Columbia University “We used to see 'the Chinese family' as a fairly uniform institution shaped by Confucian values. Not any more! Chinese families have had to adapt to a bewildering array of social changes. How they have altered as a result is the focus of this wide-ranging and fascinating volume.” Martin K. Whyte, Emeritus Department of Sociology, Harvard University"Beyond the excellent description of changing family relationships over the past 120 years, Jankowiak and Moore parsimoniously summarize the significance of an analytic shift from a focus on lineage and corporate family interests to one that privileges affective emotion and individual desires among family members. Both the general reader and undergraduate student will benefit greatly from these distinctions as they conceptualize change over time. [...] It would work well as a required reading in a course on changing families across the world or one on modern Chinese society" - Deborah Davis, The China Journal"Family Life in China provides a broad historical and ethnographic overview on changes in family life. As such it is a particularly useful introduction for students in sociology, ethnology or sinology and for all those interested in everyday life in China."

Stanford University Press Sweet Talk
Book SynopsisDeveloped nations strive to create the impression that their hearts and pockets bleed for the developing world. Yet, the global North continues to offer unfavorable trade terms to the global South. Truly fair trade would make reciprocal concessions to developing countries while allowing them to better their own positions. However, five hundred years of colonial racism and post-colonial paternalism have undermined trade negotiations. While urging developing countries to participate in trade, the North offers empty deals to partners that it regards as unequal. Using a mixed-methods approach, J. P. Singh exposes the actual position beneath the North's image of benevolence and empathy: either join in the type of trade that developed countries offer, or be cast aside as obstreperous and unwilling. Singh reveals how the global North ultimately bars developing nations from flourishing. His findings chart a path forward, showing that developing nations can garner favorable concessions by draTrade Review"Singh offers a fascinating explanation for the Global North's failure to offer reciprocal trade concessions to the developing world. Trade negotiations have been imbued with deeply paternalistic, and sometimes racist discourse masquerading as 'fairness.' This riveting analysis shows the pernicious effects that culture clashes can have on the wellbeing of billions." -- B. Peter Rosendorff * New York University *"A seminal book that brings together the political economy of international trade with critical constructivist insight concerning paternalism and racism. Truly a 'bridge-building' exercise in the best of the Cohenite tradition, and a giant leap forward for the emerging postcolonial analyses of international political economy." -- John M. Hobson * University of Sheffield, author of The Eurocentric Conception of World Politics *"In this provocative new book, J.P. Singh offers a powerful critique of the rules that govern trade, shedding light on neocolonial values that underlie our negotiations and the unequal outcomes that result. Drawing on U.S. government press releases and detailed case studies, this compelling book urges scholars and practitioners to reexamine how cultural beliefs and historical patterns shape interactions among countries." -- Christina L. Davis * Princeton University *"J.P. Singh's blockbuster offers fresh insight into international trade negotiations where those in the developing world--who do not stand up for themselves, eyes open--are sweetly taken to the cleaners. A penetrating, sobering, skillful, alerting work." -- I. William Zartman * Johns Hopkins University, co-author of The Global Power of Talk *"Singh skillfully navigates different types of empirical evidence and presents a wealth of data and analysis...This book provides a foundation for future scholarship on paternalism and injustice in IPE, as well as the patterns of sweet and not so sweet talk in the North–South trade relations these dynamics create—making it a valuable read not only for scholars interested in trade, but also in North–South relations." -- Clara Weinhardt * Cambridge Review of International Affairs *"The general conclusion [of the book] is that while the Global North talks about benevolence toward the Global South, it gives few concessions and expects a lot from the Global South. In addition to notes and references, there are two appendixes on the node classification system used and the code book and data sources. This book provides another perspective on the international trade system and negotiations. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." -- J. E. Weaver * Choice *"Sweet Talk is a sweeping and ambitious work. It provides a valuable map and hypothesis for understanding the contours of international trade negotiations and outcomes over the past several decades. It will exert an important influence on scholarly understandings of trade and race in international relations." -- Andy Baker * Perspectives on Politics *Table of ContentsContents and Abstracts1Introduction: The Subtext of North–South Relations chapter abstractThis chapter describes the key linkages for the book: the way paternalistic strength weakens trade reciprocity and negotiation advantages strengthen it in North–South trade negotiations. It describes the main counterfactual, strategic trade theory, and then provides a deeper explanation embedded in cultural preferences that account better for outcomes in trade negotiations. 2Who Is Served by Paternalism? chapter abstractThis chapter first analyzes arguments in favor of, and against, interstate justice and paternalism—the strong helping the weak—before turning to the conditions in international negotiations that allow developing countries to obtain concessions in their favor. Paternalistic concessions are examined as departures from reciprocity to the extent that they are unilateral concessions made to the developing world, often in lieu of trade concessions that the developing world needs. Paternalistic preferences are traced back to racism. The chapter also explains the developing world's negotiation advantages. 3GATT and the Developing World before the Uruguay Round chapter abstractThis chapter shows that postcolonial questions were not paramount in the creation of GATT. It presents an analysis of trade measures that affected the developing world from the creation of the GATT to the end of the Tokyo Round (1979). Three trade measures are examined: the system of imperial preferences, trade status for infant industry in the developing world, and the Generalized System of Preferences that resulted in special and differential treatment for the developing world. The causal variables for examining the degree of reciprocity in each of these trade measure remain the same as before: North–South trade negotiations and the degree of paternalism from the North. 4Unequal Partners in Merchandise Trade chapter abstractThis chapter attends to the dynamics of paternalism and negotiations at GATT's Uruguay Round (1986–1994) and the effects on reciprocity in merchandise trade at the three levels of evidence from mixed methods presented in this book. First, the chapter attends to the presence of "sweet talk" as rhetoric. It provides the results of a content analysis of 1,925 pages of press releases for the 1982–1993 period from the U.S. trade representative for the years of the Uruguay Round, which confirms paternalism in USTR discourse. Next, the chapter presents the overall findings on merchandise trade at the Uruguay Round with an index developed to measure paternalism from a factor analysis of three other indices. Finally, the textiles agreement from the Uruguay Round is examined as a case of North–South negotiations in manufacturing. 5An Uneven Playing Field in Agricultural Negotiations chapter abstractThis chapter analyzes the evidence against North–South trade reciprocity at all levels discussed in this book: quantitative, historical, and case studies of sugar and cotton. Former colonies fare worse in agriculture than they did in manufacturing, even after the Uruguay Round, which ostensibly opened up some markets in agriculture. The Uruguay and Doha Rounds are discussed separately. Furthermore, a microanalysis of the causal factors—paternalism and negotiation advocacy—in the sugar and cotton cases helps to examine the underlying cultural intransigence that blocks benefits for the developing world. 6Big Disparities in Services and Intellectual Property chapter abstractThis chapter explains the difference between the North–South intellectual property and services agreements. The former is heavily contested, whereas the latter offers a win-win for North–South negotiations. The North's coercion and paternalism in intellectual property is explained first. Any exceptions to TRIPS provisions have resulted from the developing world's advocacy. The services agreement has enabled many developing countries—ranging from India as an outsourcing hub to developing country island states as tourism corridors—"discover" their comparative advantage in services products. Along the way, the developing world has also been singled out in policy and media accounts in the United States and the EU for "stealing" high-tech jobs, and fairly explicit racism has been directed at countries like India targeting its outsourcing practices. 7Conclusion: The End of Sweet Talk chapter abstractThis chapter provides a summary of the lessons learned, attends to counterarguments, and conjectures on ways forward for the developing world. Contrary to the expectations from a benevolent paternalism, this book finds scant evidence of sustainable material benefits from paternalism in international trade relations. Negotiated alternatives, especially multilateral ones, provide the weak some advantage. Strategic collective action from the weak fares well, but strategic economic diversification translates best into negotiation advantages.

But it is also useful for outside counsel and trademark practitioners generally to better understand the business perspective and gain insight on how to counsel toward a proactive approach.’ -- The Trademark Reporter‘The book offers a detailed range of actionable strategies and suggests alternatives to traditional approaches, making it an important read for those in the brand protection space.’ -- Trevor Little, World Trade Review‘Just got my copy of Jeremy Wilson's book Brand Protection and the Global Risk of Product Counterfeits. I'm only two chapters in and already I am thrilled! It's the brand protection book I've been waiting for my whole career. Once done I'll write up a full review, but I wanted to take a quick moment to encourage all brand protection professionals to grab a copy right now – you won't be disappointed.’ -- William Mansfield, ABRO Industries, Inc. and University of Saint Francis, US‘I wish I had this book when I first started in brand protection. Back then, I was in learning mode and constantly seeking sources to inform my strategy and approach. What I found was that there wasn’t a lot of practical information readily available about how to combat the problem of illicit trade. With this volume, Jeremy and his cast of expert contributors have helped to fill this gap in practical knowledge in the field. They’ve laid out a very prescriptive approach about how to build a comprehensive, end-to-end solution—or “total business solution”—to brand infringement. This book provides an excellent foundation and reference for practitioners and decision makers about what it takes to protect your patients, customers, brands, and business from bad actors in the marketplace.’ -- Richard Kaeser, Johnson & Johnson, USTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Richard Kaeser xiv Preface xvii PART I INTRODUCTION TO BRAND PROTECTION AND THE GLOBAL RISK OF PRODUCT COUNTERFEITS 1 The brand protector’s dilemma and the total business solution 2 Jeremy M.
