Dimensions of Trade Policy collects the author's significant works on international trade policy over almost 30 years of publishing. The articles cover an eclectic range of topics but are grouped into three main areas of concentration - local content protection, the economics of preferential trading areas and the relationship between trade and competition policies - and the book also includes some sui generis topics, such as 'fair trade' and 'buy local' schemes. An introduction ties the chapters together and indicates their relevance to contemporary matters in trade policy.

While integration in the modern world economy is quite different to its counterpart in the last century, national borders are still extremely significant as trade barriers, and the international discussion of globalisation is paramount. This volume centres on two broad themes: the desirability, or otherwise, of globalisation and the practical mechanics of, and prospects for, increased multinational international trade liberalisation. Progress on competition policy issues are discussed along with the future of financial institutions, national policies, the scope of possible future expansion of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), and its dispute-settlement mechanism in light of recent trans-Atlantic disputes. With a diversity of opinions from contributors prominent in fields ranging from business and academia through to Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) such as the WTO and the British Commonwealth, this is a fascinating look at globalisation and trade. Both foreign policy and economics academics will find this book invaluable, along with policymakers and NGOs.

A childhood memoir of South London during the swinging 1960's and 1970's, mini skirts and the Beatles, where life was anything but normal. From villains and bent coppers to gun-running in Africa and imprisonment, all brought to a focus by an IRA terrorist assassination plot that punctuated the end of an era. This is the story of small time scoundrel, Victor Richardson, a character larger than life but smaller than human, seen through the eyes of his son, Martin, who pieces together fragments from the past to present an insightful picture of gangland London at it's height, painting an autobiographical account of his father's ill-fated life.

With each passing decade the U.S. political scene has become more polarized, and most recently the economy has stalled. The author explains the philosophical difference between the Left and the Right, why the economy is where it is, and how to get it moving again. She also explains Left vs. Right political positions on many other issues, while offering her opinions. Some readers will find the book a good resource of useful information. Others may be shocked by the evidence and conclusions. But every reader should benefit in some way.
