Most of the existing textbooks on international economics - a widely taught and ighly popular subject - are long and too detailed and advanced for many students. This book, first published in 1983, and written by a respected leading authority, presents the essentials of the topic in a simple and straightforward way. The book contains the minimum of algebra and avoids detailed proofs. It incorporates the most recent theoretical advances and discusses current issues in comercial policy. Moreover, it puts less emphasis than other textbooks on trade theory and more on balance of payments theory an

The book investigates the competitive opportunities for Canadian and UK businesses in the world economy generally, but more particularly in a bilateral (Canada-UK) and regional bloc (European Union-North American Free Trade Association) setting. Part 1 examines Canadian-UK trade and investment flows and policies. Part 2 presents an empirical investigation of the experiences of a sample of Canadian firms with business interests in the UK and the European Union and, likewise, UK firms with business interests in Canada and the United States.

The second half of the twentieth century saw the emergence of international economic law as a major force in the international legal system. This force has been severely tested by the economic crisis of 2008. Unable to prevent the crisis, the existing legal mechanisms have struggled to react against its direst consequences. This book brings together leading experts to analyse the main causes of the crisis and the role that international economic law has played in trying to prevent it, on the one hand, and worsening it, on the other. The work highlights the reaction and examines the tools that have been created by the international legal field to implement international cooperation in an effort to help put an end to the crisis and avoid similar events in the future. The volume brings together eminent legal academics and economists to examine key issues from the perspectives of trade law, financial law, and investment law with the collective aim of reform of international economic governance.--

SINCE THE END OF THE COLD WAR, SINO-RUSSIAN RELATIONS HAVE EVOLVED IN A SURPRISINGLY HARMONIOUS FASHION. ON APRIL 23, 1997, BEIJING AND MOSCOW ANNOUNCED BROAD STRATEGIC AGREEMENT AND REJECTED "HEGEMONISM AND POWER POLITICS" AS THE BASIS OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS. DESPITE THEIR WARM BILATERAL RELATIONS, THERE IS ONE AREA WHERE THE TWO POWERS LACK A STABILIZING DIMENSION: ECONOMICS. THE ROLES OF RUSSIA AND CHINA IN THE NEW GLOBAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM ARE UNCLEAR AND HOW THEIR FUTURE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ROLES WILL INTERACT WITH THEIR FOREIGN POLICY IS UNKNOWN. IN THIS ESSAY, THE AUTHOR ASSESSES THE CURRENT ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHINA AND RUSSIA, INDICATES POSSIBLE LINES OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, AND SPECULATES ABOUT THEIR FUTURE POLITICAL RELATIONS.

The present volume articulates a state of concern with the destabilising and the growth retarding effects of current world finance relations. Emphasis laid in this volume on finance is justified, not only in terms of its dominance over real activities in the world economy but also with its influence on the pace of economic reforms in the debt-ridden countries. A large number of essays in this volume deals with the recent pattern of capital flows in the world economy. The latter has been of a high priority in the agenda for research in economics in recent times, especially with tendencies for financial fragility in the major financial markets and the enforcing of the structural adjustment programmes in the developing countries as a part of loan conditionalities. The volume provides a rich analysis of contemporary international finance relations, with individual chapters contributed by reputed economists who have made significant contributions to the literature.
