This timely Handbook considers the increasing struggles facing
international development in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. It
investigates the role global co-operation must play in resolving
the multiple crises of the pandemic, resultant economic devastation
and existing climate changes and external-debt concerns.
Contributions identify the need to question current assumptions and
approaches to international development in the context of how
markets are constructed, states reformed and resources distributed.
Split across four thematic parts, this thought-provoking Handbook
explores the concept and politics of development, development and
contested globalization, the politics of development agendas and
global actors in the politics of development. Chapters examine the
politics of: developmental regionalism, crime, law and development
in historical perspective, international monetary relations, food,
global health, the global gender agenda, the sustainable
development goals, development in the WTO, and private foundations.
Engaging and accessible, the Handbook on the Politics of
International Development will be a key resource for students and
scholars of international politics and relations, public policy,
geopolitics and development studies.
Using decades of their own insight into teaching undergraduate
International Relations (IR) courses, leading experts offer an
introduction to IR thinking throughout history in Latin America,
unfolding ideas, voices, concepts and approaches from the region
that can contribute to the broader Global IR discussion. The book
highlights and discuss the growing possibility of a Latin American
agency, defined broadly to include both material and ideational
elements, in regional and international relations, covering areas
where Latin America's contributions are especially visible and
relevant, such as regionalism, international law, security
management, and Latin America's relations with the outside world.
This is not about exclusively "Latin American solutions to Latin
American problems", but rather about contributions in which Latin
Americans define the terms for understanding the issues and set the
terms for the nature and scope of outside involvement. Written with
verve and clarity, Latin America in Global International Relations
exposes readers to the relevance of redefining and broadening IR
theory. It will serve as a guide for instructors in structuring
their courses and in identifying the place of Latin America in the
discipline.

Despite the large number of regional and global summits there is
very little known about the functioning and impact of this
particular type of diplomatic practice. While recognizing that the
growing importance of summits is a universal phenomenon, this
volume takes advantage of the richness of the Americas experiment
to offer a theoretically grounded comparative analysis of
contemporary summitry. The book addresses questions such as: How
effective have summits been ? How have civil society and other
non-state actors been involved in summits? How have summits
impacted on the management of regional affairs? Filling a
significant void in the literature, this volume offers an original
contribution helping to understand how summitry has become a
central feature of world politics. It will be of great interest to
students and scholars of diplomacy, international organizations,
and global/regional governance.
The focus of this edited volume is twofold: to better understand
current regional transformations; and to discuss what new
developments mean for how we theorize non-European regionalism and
regionalist governance. The book provides an original and grounded
analysis of post-hegemonic and post-trade arrangements in the areas
of finance, security, development and civil society. By observing
these points the authors hope to open a new space for an analysis
of the transformative capacity and the political resilience of new
regional spaces and institutional arrangements. Theoretically, by
focusing on the question of post-trade regional governance we hope
to challenge New Regionalist approaches that have usefully embraced
issues beyond mainstream EU studies (in particular the links
between the regional, the international and the local), yet had
assumed regionalism as taking place within and modelled by
neoliberal economics. The approach taken here supersedes the old
categorizations of 'old' and 'new' regionalism to explain new
realities that are not taking place within and modelled by
neoliberal economics. The chapters will contribute to the
analytical field of (comparative) regionalism by addressing new
questions about how transformative post-hegemonic regionalism(s)
are in terms of regional space and new polities. Finally, the
collection is an open invitation to engage EU and other studies on
regionalism as Latin America matters for the knowledge it can
provide on pressing questions such as flexibility, the use of
informal politics and power, and the continuing
widening-versus-deepening debate understanding regionalism and
regionalization for other regions of the world."

A re-examination of the role of trade policy in development
strategies through analyses and five country studies of
semi-industrialized economies, this book shows that sustained
growth performance is associated with policies geared to the
creation of competitiveness in new sectors, rather than to the
exploitation of current comparative advantages. This has required
selectivity in trade policy and an activist exchange rate policy.
The book also places the current trade policy debates in the
context of the international policy environment that is emerging in
an increasingly globalized world economy. Diana Tussie is the
author of "The Less Developed Countries and the World Trading
System: A Challenge to the GATT" and "Developing Countries in World
Trade: Policies and Bargaining Stategies".

Este libro estudia la trama de la economia politica del
regionalismo y en particular los variados usos que los actores
nacionales dan al regionalismo en los hechos. Procura evitar
perderse en la teoria de la integracion y en modelos normativos,
para orientarse a desentranar la interaccion de intereses
nacionales en puja. El regionalismo no es un proceso que avance en
forma ordenada. No puede serlo dado que se desarrolla de manera
descentralizada a partir del accionar de una multiplicidad de
actores de la politica, la economia y la sociedad civil. Cada uno
de ellos persigue objetivos que coinciden solamente en algunas
ocasiones, y cuando no lo hacen se origina una competencia que
tiene lugar en diferentes ambitos, dependiendo de los actores y las
dimensiones involucradas. Del resultado de estas pujas se va
derivando el desarrollo del regionalismo. Los casos que se analizan
y comparan en esta obra incluyen a Argentina, Brasil, Chile,
Colombia, Ecuador, Peru y Venezuela.
