China is among a number of large developing country or new powers on the ascendance in the international system, all of which are deepening their economic relations with Africa However, China is the largest and most powerful of this group. it has sought closer economic relationships with other developing country regions and continents such as Latin America and Central Asia, but it is with Africa -- the continent that hosts more developing countries than any other -- that China has fostered the closest links. This book provides an overview of how the China -- Africa relationship has evolved over the last few decades and examines whether it presents a new paradigm of "development relations" in the international system. The contributors investigate what is particularly special about the emerging development partnership between Africa and China, and how it may evolve in the future. The contributors focus on various development capacity issues -- infrastructural, industrial, technocratic, institutional, human capital, sustainable economic practices -- and consider various debates on "development" and development ideologies, including whether Chinaʹs practices in Africa pose a challenge to Western conventions on development assistance. -- Publisher description from http://www.routledge.com (Oct. 4, 2011).

The shape of the world economy is changing. Globalisation and regionalism have led to the development of powerful but interdependent economic blocs. Much economic potential has shifted from the Atlantic to the Pacific area. In view of this The European Economy argues that economists need a broader, worldwide base of information if these processes and their effect on Europe are to be fully understood. Topics discussed include:* Europe's experience of the growing trend of regionalism* the single market* plans for economic union* EU enlargement* Europe's triad rivals* EU external trade and trade

In a global economy and system increasingly defined by new developments and complexities in trade, whose rules and regulations govern that trade matter. The UK has embarked on a new post-Brexit trade policy, signing its first wholly new free trade agreements (FTAs) with Australia and New Zealand. It is also in negotiations to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) as part of the UK's aspirations to become an integral part of the Asia-Pacific trading community. This study's research and text analysis on the UK's bilateral FTAs with Australia and New Zealand reveals high levels of similarity with two larger regional agreements heavily imprinted with US trade regulatory norms—this being the CPTPP itself and the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA). The UK's revealed willingness to strongly align itself with US trade regulatory norms has important implications for the Asia-Pacific. It also raises some key issues on what kind of trade partner the region might expect a post-Brexit 'Global Britain' to become, and how the UK's deeper planned engagement with the Asia-Pacific could affect its strategic dynamics. This could significantly depend on how closely the UK is pulled over time into the US' trade regulatory orbit. (Pac Rev / GIGA)
