This book, originally published in 1994, explores the effects of
federal policies on the US auto industry in the 1970s and 80s which
were designed to save jobs and help the domestic industry become
more competitive. The author develops a new model based on modern
oliopoly theory to estimate the effects of the voluntary Restraint
Agreements (which limited Japanese imports) on the US auto market.
The results demonstrate that VRAs caused price increases which
adversely affected the comptitiveness of US producers. On the eve
of a new Trump administration, and the likelihood of new
restrictions on imports to boost US manufacturing, this book has
particular enduring relevance.

Much of international law, like much of contract, is enforced not
by independent sanctions but rather through cooperative interaction
among the parties, with repeat dealings, reputation, and a
preference for reciprocity doing most of the enforcement work.
Originally published in 2006, The Limits of Leviathan identifies
areas in international law where formal enforcement provides the
most promising means of promoting cooperation and where it does
not. In particular, it looks at the International Criminal Court,
the rules for world trade, efforts to enlist domestic courts to
enforce orders of the International Court of Justice, domestic
judicial enforcement of the Geneva Convention, the domain of
international commercial agreements, and the question of odious
debt incurred by sovereigns. This book explains how international
law, like contract, depends largely on the willingness of
responsible parties to make commitments.

This book addresses possible analogies between cancer and
developmental biology. An international group of experts provides a
multidisciplinary approach, allowing biological or clinical
scientists involved with cancer research to integrate specific
information from diverse areas.
Five concepts of cancer are presented, and developmental biology is
reviewed at five levels. These are integrated in discussions of
failure in organisation as a basis of cancer and its control. The
book will be a valuable reference for both newcomers as well as
experienced biological and clinical scientists.
