Builds on a valuable empirical dataset, accounting for thousands of
NSAs, and on hundreds of semi-structured interviews. Speaks to
multiple sub-fields of empirical political science broadly
conceived: international political economy, international public
administration / global governance, studies of interest groups /
lobbying / advocacy and international relations.
Traditional understandings of economic development in low- and
mid-income countries have largely been influenced by the economic
narrative of Western Official Development Assistance (ODA). Within
this framework, compliance with macroeconomic orthodoxy and early
integration in Global Economic Governance (GEG) regimes are
presented as enabling conditions to reach enhanced and sustainable
levels of economic growth and social betterment. Yet, this
narrative often fails to answer fundamental questions surrounding
relational dynamics between the economies of ODA beneficiary
countries and the GEG regimes they are asked to join. Bringing
together contributions by Government officials, academics and
development practitioners, this edited volume explores quantitative
and qualitative approaches to socio-economic analysis in low- and
mid-income countries, highlighting the conditions under which
international economic policies and institutions can foster - or
hinder - their socio-economic growth. In particular, contributions
address the impact of both West and China-inspired international
economic regimes on value-adding capacity, trade, investments, job
creation and social development, thus advancing the debate on what
policy and legal provisions should low- and mid-income countries
adopt in order to maximize the benefits and minimize the costs
deriving from joining international economic regimes. A
comprehensive investigation of both sides of the Global Economic
Governance and Human Development relationship; this book will
interest scholars, practitioners and graduate students working in
the areas of international relations, international political
economy, global governance, international economics, development
studies and human security.
What role does the EU play in WTO trade negotiations? What are the
implications for the EU of the expansion of the international trade
agenda that has taken place in the last fifteen years? The European
Union and Multilateral Trade Governance examines the EU's role in
global economic governance and the negotiations of the Doha Round.
The book provides a comprehensive overview of the EU's role in the
Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations. The empirical study
is grounded in a theoretically driven discussion, in order to
understand trade politics dynamics in the present international
economic system. By providing both conceptual and empirical
arguments, the volume provides an innovative perspective on the
analysis of the EU as a global economic influence. The European
Union and Multilateral Trade Governance will be of interest to
students and scholars of European Union politics and international
political economy.

This book critically engages with a long tradition of scholarly
work that conceives of the European Union as a peculiar
international actor that pursues a value-based, normatively
oriented and development-friendly agenda in its relations with
international partners. The EU is a pivotal player in international
trade relations, holding formidable power in trade but also
exercising substantial power through trade. Trade policy therefore
represents a strategic field for the EU to shape its image as a
healthy economy and a global power. In this field, the EU has
declared a twofold ambitious goal, namely that of fostering
economic growth in Europe while, at the same time, promoting
development and growth abroad, both in developed and developing
countries. In other words, the EU aims to increase its
competitiveness in world trade while acting as an ethical and
normative power. Here, Poletti and Sicurelli explore the tension
between these two roles.

Judicial politics has emerged as a central feature of the
multilateral trading system alongside a steep decline in the World
Trade Organization's ability to deliver negotiated trade
liberalization. This book advances innovative arguments and
presents original evidence to shed light on the important and
surprisingly under-researched question of whether, and how,
judicial politics has affected the prospects for cooperation in the
WTO through multilateral trade rounds.
