Examines the political, economic, and social transition, 1960s to 1990s, in the context of relations with the US; with a special focus on reinsertion into the global economy following removal of the Sandinistas from power in 1990.
Growing interdependence between jurisdictions means that states are increasingly using private actors as proxies in order to achieve desired regulatory outcomes. International relations theory has had difficulty in understanding the exact circumstances under which they might wish to do this. Drawing on literatures in both international relations & legal scholarship, this article proposes a framework for understanding when states will or will not use private actors as proxy regulators. This framework highlights the relationship between state preferences & the presence or absence of a "point of control," a special kind of private actor. The article then conducts an initial plausibility probe of the framework, assessing how well it explains outcomes in the regulation of gambling, privacy, & the taxation of e-commerce.

For a long time it has been necessary to move beyond sterile debates for or against Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). The real issue is: what kind of EPAs will support African governments in their efforts to promote the structural transformation of their economies, so that they can move beyond the production of simple and unprocessed products to the production of a range of higher value products, for national, regional and international markets, and in the process help them tackle poverty and employment issues. This paper seeks to situate the ongoing EPA negotiations and debate around contentious issues in the context of the wider European Union (EU) trade policy and African aspirations for sustainable development and poverty reduction.

Versucht man, die unterschiedlichen Entwicklungen in den OECD-Staaten seit 1973 zu interpretieren, so zeigt sich eine wachsende Interdependenz zwischen dem Funktionieren des Arbeitsmarktes und makroökonomischen Größen. Ein internationales Forscherteam hat in sieben europäischen Ländern (Belgien, Frankreich, Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Irland, Italien, Spanien und Großbritannien) Einflüsse auf das Verhältnis von Kapitalinvestitionen und Arbeit untersucht. Es sollte festgestellt werden, inwiefern ökonomische Stagnation und Unterbeschäftigung auf die Starrheit des Arbeitsmarktes und staatliche Eingriffe zurückgeführt werden können. Der Autor faßt die Ergebnisse zusammen und zeigt Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer Flexibilisierungsstrategie zur Modernisierung der Produktionsstrukturen und Arbeitsbeziehungen. (IAB)

Argues that international migration disturbs two assumptions of the democratic community, ie, it no longer appears to be based in a clearly delineated territory or a shared past. Considering the relations between the temporal & territorial aspects of membership in a democratic community, it is probably impossible to adopt a universal concept of citizenship that ignores the particularity of location; however, current understandings of the nation must be overcome. To offset democratic deficits of nonrepresentation & liberal deficits of ethnic inequality & intolerance of diversity, models of transnational citizenship must be developed. It is critical that such models recognize necessary territorial & temporal constraints & include the migrant experience in the historical narrative of the democratic polity. E. Munson
The Caribbean banana trade is a controversial issue within international affairs. Peter Clegg investigates the complex political relationships between the traditional actors in the trade and how the issues of colonialism and globalization have shaped their interactions. He presents a detailed analysis of the development of the Caribbean banana trade and analyzes why the influence and importance of the traditional actors within the trade has diminished over the last thirty years
