This book assesses the politics and programs of the U.S.
Export-Import Bank and their relevance to U.S. trade policy.
Focusing on the direct loan program for large credits with
maturities of more than five years, the authors evaluate the broad
criteria employed by the Bank in its decision-making process and
the resulting allocation of Bank resources. They also examine the
distribution of Bank loans and subsidies across industries and
relate this to key industry characteristics such as comparative
advantage and export dependence. The problems faced by the Eximbank
in recent years-high borrowing costs, intensified export credit
competition, limited resources, increased risks, conflicting
mandates to be competitive yet self-sustaining --have given
tremendous importance to the careful articulation of policy and
administration of programs. The authors find Bank policies to be
broadly supportive of the U.S. trade policy goals, but also
identify several areas of inconsistency and lack of definition and
offer alternative means of specifying criteria to overcome these
problems.

The political force of feminism cannot be separated from the
theories which give it that force. an effective feminist literary
criticism must negotiate its relationship to the dominant male
voice of traditional practices. Can it change that voice for new
ends, or is it robbed of purpose by the inevitably partiarchal
nature of traditional discourse?
The essays in this book address this question in a complex set of
exploratory dialogues between men and women. They open with
interchanges on the philosophical foundations of feminist
criticisms and questions about the mechanisms of representation. A
second group of essays focus on the gendered body in the act of
writing and on individual identity and experience in critical
theory. Does theory elide questions of gender, race and class? Or
does it help illuminate those differences by historicizing and
politicizing the body? The further dialogues initiated here probe
the network of relations between author, reader, critic and society
in discussing the feminization of genres and the problematic of
race.
Rather than striving for pluralistic consensus as they interrogate
the relations of feminism and theory, the many voices presented
here employ a dialogic model to create a productive and enlivening
debate.
