Food Fights over Free Trade How International Institutions Promote Agricultural Trade Liberalization


Free Download Christina L. Davis, "Food Fights over Free Trade: How International Institutions Promote Agricultural Trade Liberalization"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 0691122547 | EPUB | pages: 416 | 1.6 mb
This detailed account of the politics of opening agricultural markets explains how the institutional context of international negotiations alters the balance of interests at the domestic level to favor trade liberalization despite opposition from powerful farm groups. Historically, agriculture stands out as a sector in which countries stubbornly defend domestic programs, and agricultural issues have been the most frequent source of trade disputes in the postwar trading system. While much protection remains, agricultural trade negotiations have resulted in substantial concessions as well as negotiation collapses. Food Fights over Free Trade shows that the liberalization that has occurred has been due to the role of international institutions.

From Chains to Bonds The Slave Trade Revisited


Free Download Doudou Diene, "From Chains to Bonds: The Slave Trade Revisited"
English | 2001 | pages: 500 | ISBN: 9231034391, 1571812652, 1571812660 | PDF | 19,6 mb
Most important issues of today’s world – such as development, human rights, and cultural pluralism – bear the unmistakable stamp of the transatlantic slave trade. In particular Africa’s state of development can only be properly understood in the light of the widespread dismantling of African societies and the methodical and lasting human bloodletting to which the continent was subjected by way of the trans-Saharan and transatlantic slave trade over the centuries. But this greatest displacement of population in history also transformed the vast geo-cultural area of the Americas and the Caribbean.

Portuguese Intervention in the Manila Galleon Trade The structure and networks of trade between Asia and America in the


Free Download Etsuko Miyata, "Portuguese Intervention in the Manila Galleon Trade: The structure and networks of trade between Asia and America in the"
English | ISBN: 1784915327 | 2017 | 100 pages | PDF | 8 MB
In this study of the Portuguese intervention in the Manila Galleon Trade, Etsuko Miyata explores its history through a new approach: the examination of Chinese ceramics. The excavated Chinese ceramics from Mexico City shed light on the nature of Portuguese involvement in this huge sixteenth-century maritime trade network, and also help to clarify the relationship between the Portuguese and the Chinese merchants, who were considered to be rivals. The book analyzes the change of types and quantity of excavated Chinese ceramics from Mexico City over time. It references the trade depression during the mid seventeenth century, when the ceramic finds from Mexico City suddenly decreased, and the trade between Asia and America seemed to slow down; and it seeks to understand the effect on people from various social backgrounds in both regions. The study also considers the Atlantic coastal trade in Spain; this featured Chinese ceramic finds from Galician excavation sites. The author postulates a hypothesis that these ceramics did not come into Spain through the Manila Galleon Trade or via Atlantic trade with America, but from Lisbon where the coastal trade route powered a large amount of diverse commerce.

Linking Language, Trade and Migration


Free Download Linking Language, Trade and Migration: Economic Partnership Agreements as Language Policy in Japan
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031332334 | 418 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 6 MB
This book examines the effect of trade policy on language which represents an underrecognized area in the field of language policy and planning. It argues that trade policies like Japan’s Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) have important consequences for national language (education) policies and for discourses about language and nation. Since 2008, Japan has signed the EPAs with Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam to recruit migrant nurses and eldercare workers and manage their mobility by means of pre-employment language training and the Japanese-medium licensure examinations. Through the analysis of these language management devices, this book demonstrates that the EPAs are a manifestation and representation of contemporary language issues intertwined particularly with pressing issues of Japan’s social aging and demographic change. As the EPAs are intertwined with welfare, economy, social cohesion, and international political and economic relations and competitiveness, the book presents a far more complex picture of and a richer potential of language policy.
