International Conflict and the Global Economy by Edward D. Mansfield Pdf

Mansfield (political science, University of Pennsylvania) collects articles spanning the time period between 1945 and 2001 on core theoretical arguments that have been advanced about the relationship between foreign economic relations and political hostilities. Articles analyze the evolution of these arguments over time, evaluate core arguments using quantitative evidence, address the use and effectiveness of economic statecraft, and examine the effects of national security concerns on foreign economic relations. Some specific topics include economic interdependence and national security in historical perspective, trade flow and international conflict, and foreign trade as an instrument of national power.

Economic Interdependence and International Conflict by Edward Deering Mansfield,Brian M. Pollins Pdf

The claim that open trade promotes peace has sparked heated debate among scholars and policymakers for centuries. Until recently, however, this claim remained untested and largely unexplored. Economic Interdependence and International Conflict clarifies the state of current knowledge about the effects of foreign commerce on political-military relations and identifies the avenues of new research needed to improve our understanding of this relationship. The contributions to this volume offer crucial insights into the political economy of national security, the causes of war, and the politics of global economic relations. Edward D. Mansfield is Hum Rosen Professor of Political Science and Co-Director of the Christopher H. Browne Center for International Politics at the University of Pennsylvania. Brian M. Pollins is Associate Professor of Political Science at Ohio State University and a Research Fellow at the Mershon Center.

The Future of Global Conflict by Volker Bornschier,Christopher Chase-Dunn Pdf

This critical analysis of long-term trends and recent developments in world systems examines such questions as: Will the cycles of boom and bust, peace and war of the past 500 years continue? Or have either long-term trends or recent changes so profoundly altered the structure of world systems that these cycles will end or take on a less destructive form? The noted international contributors to this volume examine the question of future dominance of the core global systems and include comprehensive discussions of the economic, political and military role of the Pacific Rim, Japan and the former Soviet Union.

The Global Economic Order by Elli Louka Pdf

Exploring in depth the institutions that underpin the global economy, this study provides invaluable insights into why a minimum economic order has endured for so long and why states are unwilling to establish a maximum order, a global safety net for all. The author investigates how debt – a critical component of states’ economic infrastructure – leads to debilitating crises, and how these crises undermine the economic autonomy and political independence of states.

Intra-Industry Trade by Cameron Thies,Timothy M. Peterson Pdf

Intra-Industry Trade calls for us to rethink what trade most often looks like and how it shapes global institutions, fostering peace among states. Cameron G. Thies and Timothy M. Peterson argue that our understanding of trade has not kept pace with its changing nature in the 21st century; existing models, rooted in Ricardo's theories, regard trade uniformly as taking place between entities and countries that offer different commodities and operate according to the logic of comparative advantage. Though this type of exchange does take place, intra-industry trade—international trade of the same or similar commodities, in which foreign and domestic brands compete—is increasingly prevalent. The authors argue that our current academic and policymaking focus on the total volume of trade, rather than its composition, is misplaced. Trade composition matters, not just because it gives us a fuller understanding of how trade works, but also because intra-industry trade increases the likelihood of positive institutional relations and cooperation between states. To illustrate their point, the authors examine the effects that intra-industry trade has on Preferential Trade Agreement formation, its tendency to lessen World Trade Organization disputes and militarized conflict, and its ability to pave the way for new and fortified alliances.

Shadow Globalization, Ethnic Conflicts and New Wars by Dietrich Jung Pdf

Shadow Globalization, Ethnic Conflict and New Wars looks at the interrelation of armed conflict, international economic flows and organized crime in the post-Cold War era. The focus on the political economy of contemporary war gives this book an original take on ethnic conflict that so far has almost exclusively been analysed through the lens of identity formation. Focusing on the political economy of a variety of contemporary intra-state wars, the authors question several of the widely held theoretical perspectives about the relationship between war and state-making. Their ideas are examined in relation to a wide range of case studies in the war on drugs, the mafia statelets emerging in the Balkans, the Kurds in Iraq and the Lebanese and Somali civil wars. Putting the focus on the political economy of so-called new wars, the book presents a series of studies that analyse the complexities of current warfare by zooming in from the global sphere to local spots of organized violence. So it raises questions about the very idea of intra-state wars and shows that these wars are inseparably linked to the global economy and the world political order.

International Political Economy in the 21st Century by Roy Smith,Imad El-Anis,Christopher Farrands Pdf

Understanding of the theories that underpin international political economy (IPE), and their practical applications, is crucial to the study of international relations, politics, development and economics. This is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with an engaging and coherent foundation to the subject. It considers traditional and alternative approaches to IPE, and in doing so elucidates key concepts, assumptions and the intellectual and historical context in which they arose and developed. At all times, it makes clear their relevance to issues from trade, finance and government, to environment, technology, health, labour, security, migration, development and culture. The book encourages independent reflection and critical thinking through a range of in-text guiding features. In addition, each chapter presents theoretical analysis alongside contemporary issues, helping the reader to relate to the real world of IPE and to better understand how theory helps inform interpretation of it. New to this edition: comprehensively updated to include key coverage of the post-2015 framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, the financial crisis and international government responses - successful or otherwise - to recent challenges; fully updated data, reflective questions, recommended readings, concept and example boxes, and illustrations; new chapters on health, migration and labour; additional coverage of trade theories and key contemporary issues, such as national versus human security, economic versus human development and illegal networks in global trade.

Controversies in Globalization: Contending Approaches to InternationalRelations, 2nd Edition by Peter M. Haas,John A. Hird Pdf

Debate-style readers can be effective and provocative teaching tools in the classroom. But if the readings are not in dialogue with one another, the crux of the debate is lost on students, and the reader fails to add real depth to the course. This book solves this issue by inviting 15 pairs of scholars and practitioners to address current and relevant questions in international relations through brief 'yes' and 'no' pieces.
