Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 218 pages. The Global Political Economy of Ral Prebisch offers an original analysis of g lobal political economy by examining it through the ideas, agency and influence of one of its most important thinkers, leaders and personalities. Prebisch's gro und-breaking ideas as an economist - the terms-of-trade thesis and the economic case for state-led industrialization - changed the world and guided economic pol icy across the global South. As the head of two UN bodies - the Economic Commiss ion for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and later the United Nations Con ference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) - he was at the frontline of key North -South political struggles for a fairer global distribution of wealth and the re gulation of transnational corporations. Prebisch increasingly came to view pol itical power, not just economic capabilities, as pivotal to shaping the institut ions and rules of the world economy. This book contextualizes his ideas, explori ng how they were used and their relevance to contemporary issues. The neoliberal turn in economics in North America, Western Europe and across the global South led to an active discrediting of Prebisch's theories and this volume offers an i mportant corrective, reintroducing current and future generations of scholars an d students to this important body of work and allowing a richer understanding of past and ongoing political struggles. Editorial Reviews Review This is a ter rific volume which contributes to a much-needed movement away from the dominant intellectual histories of global political economy and their 'peripheralising' o f non-English-speaking and non-Western thinking and thinkers. But it also develo ps an important and thought-provoking reflection on what taking this step means.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. 1st. Shadow Negotiators is the first book to demonstrate that United Nations (UN) organizations have intervened to influence the discourse, agenda, and outcomes of international trade lawmaking at the World Trade Organization (WTO). While UN organizations lack a seat at the bargaining table at the WTO, Matias E. Margulis argues that these organizations have acted as "shadow negotiators" engaged in political actions intended to alter the trajectory and results of multilateral trade negotiations. He draws on analysis of one of the most contested issues in global trade politics, agricultural trade liberalization, to demonstrate interventions by four different UN organizations-the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP), the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), and the Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food (SRRTF). By identifying several novel intervention strategies used by UN actors to shape the rules of global trade, this book shows that UN organizations chose to intervene in trade lawmaking not out of competition with the WTO or ideological resistance to trade liberalization, but out of concerns that specific trade rules could have negative consequences for world food security-an outcome these organizations viewed as undermining their social purpose to reduce world hunger and protect the human right to food.…
