These two volumes survey the most important scholarly writings in
economics and political science that explain the drivers and
constraints to freer world trade. This authoritative collection,
with contributions by leading academics, includes seminal studies
that have changed the course of thinking about international trade
over past centuries and considers both pro free trade and anti free
trade arguments. Along with an original introduction, the editors
have also selected a few non-academic pronouncements that have
shaped popular views about free trade. This collection will be of
immense value to anyone with an interest in the economics of free
trade and will serve as an excellent reference source to students
and academics.
The widely accepted need to reduce the world's dependence on fossil
fuels and move instead to low-carbon, renewable alternatives faces
a host of challenges. Whilst the greatest challenges remain in
engineering, political and public policy issues continue to play a
very important role. This volume, which consists of contributions
from leading figures in the field, presents the case for a
Sustainable Energy Trade Agreement (SETA). It shows that by
addressing barriers to trade in goods and services relevant for the
supply of clean energy, such an agreement would foster the crucial
scaling-up of clean energy supply and promote a shift away from
fossil fuels. In doing so it illustrates how the agreement would
help to address a number of overarching sustainable development
priorities, including the urgent threat of climate change, enhanced
energy access and improved energy security. The book will appeal to
academics and policymakers working on the interface of trade and
energy policy.
