The Global Political Economy of Trade Protectionism and Liberalization

Trade Reform and Economic Adjustment in Textiles and Clothing

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Given the widely-accepted premise that free trade is the best means of maximising overall societal welfare, why has it proven so difficult to achieve in certain industries? This book tackles arguably the most perennial and deep-rooted of all questions in political economy, and questions the incumbent orthodox liberal theories of collective action.
