International trade and economic growth: an alternative to the neoclassical approach

Abstract: Two features stand out in the broad development of world production and trade in the post-war period. First there is a substantial growth in world trade relative to that in production. Second there is a strong bias of the trade towards developed countries (even although their total production has grown less than that of die developing countries) and towards manufactures relative to other commodities. These features are illustrated by statistics on the growth in world production and trade given in Table 1. The growth rates cover the period 1950-70 and show that the trade of

Power and ritual in the Israel Labor Party: A study in political anthropology

Abstract: Over the past fifteen years, South Korea has transformed itself from an authoritarian government into a new democracy with a vibrant capitalist economy. Modernization, democratization, and globalization have played important roles in this transformation, and have greatly influenced the programs and policies of Korea's Sixth Republic. Covering developments through the 2003 elections, this book shows how the South Korean government and society have been shaped not only by the dynamics of these forces, but also by their interaction with the cultural norms of a post-Confucian society. The author provides a conceptual framework and baseline for examining political developments in Korea, and offers an analysis of the factors that are transforming Korean institutions, society, and politics. He discusses the forces shaping Korea's political economy and the performance of successive ROK governments, and also highlights the challenges faced by the newly elected administration of Roh Moo Huan, the North Korean issue, and more.

Significance of Trade Policies in the World Economic Outlook

Abstract: Predictions about the "end of work" are widespread. A growing body of literature argues that growth is destroying more jobs than it created. New technology and globalisation are syndicated as the causes of this development that in the long run will condemn the majority of mankind to exclusion and poverty. This article critically scrutinises the end-of-work creed. With the help of easily available statistics the main fallacies about the end of work are dismissed. The conclusion is that the new global economy, quite contrary to what the prophets of doom say, is offering unprecedented possibilities of progress to more and more people throughout the world.

Development of world production and trade up to the year 2000 — A third world view

Abstract: The implications of this prospect for trade and international transportation are clear. If developing countries are to transform their economy and build up internal capacity for continued self-sustained growth, they will be able to do this only within certain restraints. These are likely to involve a certain decrease either in absolute or relative terms of their participation in world trade and their contribution to international transportation. Such a period of lessening trade will, however, be temporary and will last only whilst the economy is being transformed. Once this phase is passed, a new basis would have been laid for engaging in mutually beneficial international trade instead of the present one-sided exercise in self-flagellation.
