Product Description
Two of the biggest issues facing nation states in the twenty-first century are the role of government in the management of national economies, and the cultivation of international trade and investment in an age of globalisation. In Government, International Trade, and Laissez-Faire Capitalism Carin Holroyd offers a comprehensive comparison of Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand policies and strategies aimed at improving economic relations with Japan, the world's second largest economy. She illustrates negative consequences that result when governments withdraw from trade promotion and leave the development of commercial opportunities to the private sector. Holroyd focuses on how Australia, Canada, and New Zealand responded to the dramatic changes in the Japanese economy that followed the 1985 Plaza Accord and currency reforms. She examines trade promotional activities, efforts to co-ordinate business responses to the Japanese market, and the cultivation of Japanese investment, indicating how new paradigms of state involvement in the economy influenced international trading activity.Holroyd demonstrates that rather than responding proactively to changing conditions and new opportunities, the national business sectors stayed with traditional patterns of trade and investment, losing significantly in market share and export opportunities as a consequence. ...

Product Description
Trade negotiations are a topic of growing importance, and the popularity ofbilateral and regional trade deals as an alternative to slow negotiations at theWorld Trade Organization (WTO) is growing. But so is the anti-free trade sentimentamong environmental and social-justice associations. Today, an importantquestion is how free trade can be designed in a sustainable way.Based on the theoretical concept of two-level diplomacy, Astrid Fritz Carrapatosoanalyzes whether domestic consultations help to further integratetrade-related environmental issues into trade agreements. Because the domesticdimension of international negotiations is often neglected, this studyfocuses on consultation procedures between the government and interestgroups. Determinants for the integration of environmental aspects into tradeagreements can thus be worked out. The book is aimed at scholars and studentsin the field of social sciences, economics, environmental studies, journalistsinterested in global and regional trade issues as well as environmentalthemes, politicians dealing with trade and environment issues and NGOs andother interest groups working in the environmental and/or trade sector. ...

Product Description
This comprehensive history of trade unions in the New Zealand printing industry provides an absorbing insight into a century and a half of new Zealand history. From the early 1860s, when the first typographical unions were formed in Dunedin and Wellington, to 1996, when printers and journalists amalgamated with the Engineers Union to form the country's largest private sector trade union (the New Zealand Engineering, Printing, and Manufacturing Union) it addresses a number of fascinating stories. Issues discussed include changing technology and the question of worker control of change and the preservation of workers' pay and conditions; divisions between different groups of workers in the workplace and at the bargaining table; the place of politically conservative trade unions in New Zealand's labor history; and the growing involvement of Maori and women in unionism. ...
