International agricultural trade regulation remains problematic
despite the creation of the WTO and a specific Agreement on
Agriculture in 1995. Fiona Smith challenges this orthodoxy and
presents a new conceptual method by which the problem of
international agricultural trade in the WTO can be understood.
Attempts to revise the rules in the Doha Development Round of
multilateral trade talks have repeatedly stalled as negotiators
grapple with what is perceived to be the problem of international
agricultural trade. Issues such as how best to address the
contemporary challenges to market liberalisation whilst preserving
the environment, difficulties of biofuels, development, human
rights and the demands of the changing nature of global governance
are all examined in this timely book. Challenging convention and
introducing new concepts, Agriculture and the WTO will strongly
appeal to academics working in the fields of international
agricultural trade, international relations, international economic
law, agriculture law and policy. It will also be warmly welcomed by
policymakers and graduate students with a special interest in
international agricultural trade.
Geographies of New Femininities examines the emergence of
contemporary constructions of femininity in a global context. It
asks whether these femininities are new and suggests that current
celebrations of diversity in the lived experience and performance
of women's identities are largely Euro-centric. Through four
in-depth case studies Geographies of New Femininities illustrates
how constructions of femininities across the world reflect gender
inequalities embedded within global/local geographies of social and
economic change. The analysis brings together key themes in
geography and feminist studies, showing how globalisation and the
fracturing of identities are influencing research on gender.
Throughout the book the authors explore spaces of opportunity and
oppression for women and highlight the geographies associated with
the negotiation of gender identities. Geographies of New
Femininities moves between empirical and theoretical debate using
first hand accounts to work through methodological issues relating
to gender and geography. It is deliberately written in an
accessible style to encourage students to engage with up-to-date
research on gender.

In addition to being the principal medium for communication,
education and entertainment the new economy is now a leading
provider of goods and services through electronic channels. The new
economy rides on the crest of new technological developments in
computers, telecommunications and satellites creating new
interactive mediums and from the deregulation and privatization of
state owned enterprises in the telecommunications and broadcasting
sectors. Whilst the economic viability of the dotcoms is
questioned, the existence of a new economy with novel methods of
production, distribution and exchange is here to stay. Evidence of
this is the fact that there are 300 million active computers in the
world, with 350 million people who use the world wide web (expected
to grow to one billion in four years), and the speed of
microprocessors continuously increases, facilitating the use of IT.
The question which is pursued in the series of essays in this book
is whether the conceptual underpinnings of competition law and
international regulatory mechanisms are adequate or appropriate to
deal with the developments raised by the new economy.
This brand new, three-level series, provides coverage of the
Cambridge Secondary 1 maths curriculum framework. Written by an
experienced author team, the series comprises a comprehensive
Student Book, extensive Workbook and supportive Teacher Guide.
Student Book 8 provides comprehensive coverage of the Secondary 1
syllabus through 9 topic-based units. The series is influenced by a
mastery approach, with topics being thoroughly embedded before
learners move on. * New concepts are presented through worked
examples, which lead learners, step-by-step, through the concepts,
with clear and detailed explanations. * Links are made between
topics, encouraging learners to build on relevant fluency from
previously learnt topics, and practise mathematical concepts in a
different context. * Learners build 21st-century skills such as
mental maths strategies, pattern spotting and problem solving,
enabling them to talk about mathematics with confidence. * With
challenge questions integrated throughout, learners can deepen
their understanding. * Learners are encouraged to reflect on their
learning, in order to build learner independence. * The series
builds on the foundations laid down in primary maths, and prepares
learners for embarking on IGCSE maths. * Provides support as part
of a set of resources for the Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics
curriculum framework from 2011 This title is endorsed by Cambridge
Assessment International Education.
Current Legal Issues, like its sister volume Current Legal Problems
(now available in journal format), is based upon an annual
colloquium held at University College London. Each year leading
scholars from around the world gather to discuss the relationship
between law and another discipline of thought. Each colloquium
examines how the external discipline is conceived in legal thought
and argument, how the law is pictured in that discipline, and
analyses points of controversy in the use, and abuse, of
extra-legal arguments within legal theory and practice. Law and
Language, the fifteenth volume in the Current Legal Issues series,
offers an insight into the scholarship examining the relationship
between language and the law. The issues examined in this book
range from problems of interpretation and beyond this to the
difficulties of legal translation, and further to non-verbal
expression in a chapter tracing the use of sign language at the Old
Bailey; it examines the role of language and the law in a variety
of literary works, including Hamlet; and considers the
interrelation between language and the law in a variety of
contexts, including criminal law, contract law, family law, human
rights law, and EU law.
