But GATT is not an international organization like the World Bank or the United Nations. It has no members-only contracting parties. It does not have a charter or treaty status. It is simply a multilateral agreement. The Truman Administration built this international agreement on the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), which delegated authority to the President to conduct bilateral negotiations to reduce specific tariffs. These bilateral concessions were then generalized to other GATT contracting ...

They do not really resemble either of their parents-the business world or the ivory tower. Their faculty must find a delicate balance between research that advances learning and knowledge and research that serves the interests of capital. As a result, each graduate school of business has evolved its own mix of academic and business culture. Although each school is unique, many graduate schools of business in the United States share an approach to education ...

Often when we use the Internet we are trading. I show that although policymakers use the rhetoric of Internet freedom, they are most concerned about maintaining their local firms comparative advantage when they make trade decisions regarding Internet freedom and regulation.

This booklet covers trade topics such as policy, perspectives, difference in nations trading, workers rights, barriers, equity issues, consumers outlook, governments involvement, trade disputes, trade impact on the environment, and General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ( ...

Herein I use process tracing to examine the state and implications of digital protectionism. I make five points: First, I note that digital protectionism differs from protectionism of goods and other services. Information is intangible, highly tradable, and some information is a public good. Secondly, I argue that it will not be easy to set international rules to limit digital protectionism without shared norms and definitions. Thirdly, the US, EU, and Canada have labeled other countries policies’ protectionist, yet their arguments and actions sometimes appear hypocritical. Fourth, I discuss the challenge of Chinese failure to follow key internet governance norms. China allegedly has used a wide range of cyber strategies, including distributed denial of ...

It is widely perceived as successful, yet Although EITI is a process designed for the people, it is not always by the people. Not all participating governments have let civil society fully participate in the process or provided civil society consistently with the information they need. Moreover, although some 24 countries (50% of all resource-rich developing countries) have committed to the EITI and taken many of these steps, as of December 2008 only one country - Azerbaijan - has taken all of these steps. As a result, EITI is a work-in-progress. Herein I examine the context in which countries adopt EITI.
