Unlike other studies of democratization and economic reform, this volume covers both economic and political liberalization in nine essays by scholars who illuminate a new agenda in international relations. The book takes as its subject the global wave of political liberalization that has arisen since the mid-1970s and the even wider trend toward liberal economic policies in the 1980s. Filling the gap left by neorealism, which has failed to address such upheavals as the dissolution of the Soviet Union, discusses how the foreign policy effects of liberalization support new democratic regimes a

Liberalization and Apostasy of America is a book cut to the chase about our nation, it’s humble beginnings, brief history, our faith and roots as a great christian nation and how we have over the last two centuries been blessed of God by giving him the praise and thanks for his bountiful blessings and great heritage he has endowed upon us as a people called by his name: II Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal th

This book’s main theme is that the neoliberal economic policies forced on developing countries by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank serve the interests of Western industrial countries more than those of developing countries, as the post-1980 Turkish experience illustrates. Within a simple dependency-oriented framework the book presents the effects of liberalization policies in Turkey. These policies were mostly concerned with allocative efficiency, disregarding distributional efficiency issues. The results were not always socially or politically desirable. These policies

Insightful commentary from thirteen Middle Eastern scholars who argue that economic liberalization has helped to promote the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. The New Israel: Peacemaking and Liberalization argues that the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian peace process will be expedited by increased economic liberalization. Israel has undergone dramatic economic change in the 1990s, shifting from a strongly protectionist, state-centered economy to a more international, "neoliberal" one. The book maintains that these fundamental changes have in turn transformed Israeli society as a whole, resulti

Like tariffs and other border measures, national regulatory barriers impede international trade. Unlike tariffs, however, such barriers usually indicate an important domestic policy choice. This ’conflict of interest’ has emerged as a crucial issue in international law, particularly with regard to services, such as telecommunications and health services. This study is the first to analyze the potential impact of incompatibilities between national regulatory regimes and the rules and obligations imposed by the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). In the pr

This book provides a much needed quantitative response to the classic question of who gains and who loses in trade liberalization and shows how important the process is for the global economy. It contributes significantly to the debate concerning trade between developed and developing countries. John Whalley describes and uses a numerical general equilibrium model of world trade to explore issues in the area of trade liberalization among major world trading areas - the European Economic Community, the United States, Japan, and developing countries. His book is unique both in using this fram
