International Political Economy Series International Political Economy Series Series Editor: Timothy M. Shaw, Visiting Professor, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA and Emeritus Professor, University of London, UK The global political economy is flux as a series of cumulative crises impacts its organization and governance. The IPE series has tracked its development in both analysis and structure over the last three decades. It has always had a concentra- tion on the global South. Now the South increasingly challenges the North as the centre of development, also reflected in a growing number of submissions and publications on indebted Eurozone economies in Southern Europe. An indispensable resource for scholars and researchers, the series examines a variety of capitalisms and connections by focusing on emerging economies, companies and sectors, debates and policies. It informs diverse policy communi- ties as the established trans-Atlantic North declines and ‘the rest’, especially the BRICS, rise.

  • Appendices 61 the University of Warwick the Warwick Commission 62
    59 the University of warwick the warwick commission 60 Appendices 61 the University of warwick the warwick commission 62 appendix l the multilateral trading system: a short Bibliographical note For the purposes of readability, this Report is written in a non-scholarly style. Footnotes and referencing in the text have been kept to an absolute minimum. However, the Report has drawn on a wide range of sources and literature. This short bibliographical note is indicative only. In no way does it purport to comprehensiveness. But it does provide a guide to some of the materials that have informed the preparation of this Report and which anyone wishing to follow up further on various sections of the Report might find useful. INTRODuCTION Five Challenges Facing the Global Trade Regime By way of background, we should note that the Warwick Commission is not the first inquiry to engage in an analysis of the challenges for the multilateral trade regime in general and the GATT/ WTO in particular. Previous exercises include the Leutwiler Report, Trade Policies for a Better Future, Amsterdam: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 1987; The Sutherland Report: A Report of the Consultative Board to the Director-General, Supachai Panitchpakdi, The Future of the WTO: Addressing institutional challenges in the new millennium, Geneva: WTO, 2004, and Ernesto Zedillo, Patrick Messerlin and Julia Nielson, Trade for Development, UN Millennium Project Task Force on Trade, London: Earthscan, 2005. The literature on the World Trade Organization (WTO) is vast. Those interested in the agreements of the WTO in general, and recent negotiations in particular, should start at the website of the Organization (www.wto.org) and the Doha briefings of bodies such as the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (www.ictsd.org/pubs/dohabriefings).

    Willi Semmler and Brigitte Young Re-Booting Europe: What kind of Fiscal Union - What kind of Social Union? March 2017 Working Paper 13/2017 Department of Economics The New School for Social Research The views expressed herein are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the New School for Social Research. © 2017 by Willi Semmler and Brigitte Young.

Re-Booting Europe: What kind of Fiscal Union - What kind of Social Union? Willi Semmler, New School for Social Research, and Brigitte Young, University of Muenster Abstract Doomsday scenarios about the survival of the Euro and the European Union have gained prominence since Brexit. While we cannot deny the endogenous and exogenous challenges to the EU, these challenges can also function as an opportunity to think about how to achieve a European social market economy. Given the deficit in EMU’s institutional design, many experts believe that the next building block should be a fiscal and social union to improve fiscal policy coordination and foster social cohesion. This paper discusses the institutional requirements for fiscal capacity building and the introduction of a Eurozone Treasury. In the final section, the ideas of a European social market economy are spelled out, arguing that a modernized version of the concept of the German social market economy, as introduced by the economist Alfred Müller-Armack, may function as a starting point to ensure a fairer balance between markets and social cohesion.

  • THE EUROPEAN SOVEREIGN DEBT CRISIS Is Germany to Blame?
    01-Young_Layout 1 4/27/11 6:21 PM Page 1 THE EUROPEAN SOVEREIGN DEBT CRISIS Is Germany to Blame? Brigitte Young Political Science, University of Muenster Willi Semmler Economics, The New School ABSTRACT Only a decade ago, slow growth and high unemployment plagued Germany, but the “sick man of Europe” has now moved to outperform the Eurozone average growth since the second quarter of 2010. This confirms Germany’s recovery and its status as the growth engine of the continent. This surely is a success story. While Germany (also Austria and the Netherlands) is prosper- ing, the peripheral countries in the Eurozone are confronted with a severe sovereign debt crisis. Starting in Greece, it soon spread to countries such as Ireland, Portugal, and Spain. In the course of the debate, Germany was blamed for the imbalances in Europe. In short, German export performance and the sustained pressure for moderate wage increases have provided Ger- man exporters with the competitive advantage to dominate trade and capital flows within the Eurozone. Thus, Germany is seen as the main beneficiary of the EURO. This argument, however, is vehemently disputed within Germany. Many economists and political leaders reject this argument and point to the flagrant lack of fiscal discipline in many of the peripheral countries. Some prominent economists, such as Hans-Werner Sinn, even disputes that Ger- many was the main beneficiary of the Eurozone. The paper analyzes the two sides of the controversy, and asks whether we are witnessing a more inward- looking and Euroskeptic Germany. These issues will be analyzed by first focusing on the role of Germany in resolving the sovereign debt crisis in Greece, and the European Union negotiations for a permanent rescue mech- anism.

  • Developing Countries Between Globalisation
    The Emergence of “Fractured” Regional Markets Brigitte Young University of Muenster Institute for Political Science Schlossplatz 7 48149 Muenster [email protected] Paper prepared for the Conference on Regionalisation and the Taming of Globalisation? Economic, Political, Security, Social and Governance Issues, Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation, Scarman House, University of Warwick, October 26-28th, 2005. 2 Introduction This paper looks at the liberalization attempts of the financial service sector within the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and investigates the inherent risks of progressive liberalization as a potential “public bad” for countries and regions in many of the developing world. Charles Wyplosz (1999) suggests that financial instability is a challenge to the international financial system and identifies this instability as a “public bad”, although not a “classical one”. The author goes on to explain that financial instability is a public bad through its potential of producing negative externalities that spread across countries producing budgetary costs and severe redistributive effects, forcing countries into a spiral of fiscal constraints with potentially adverse political backlash (Wyposz 1999: 156). One difficulty in studying the liberalization of financial services and its role in producing a “public bad” is its rather recent inclusion in trade agreements. Leroux (2002) cites that GATS is only the third trade agreement to address trade in financial services. In actuality there are four trade agreements to address trade in financial services if we include the EU. The European Council meeting in Lisbon set the year 2005 for the establishment of an integrated European financial service market (EC 2001).

    Dialogueon OCCASIONAL PAPERS Globalization GENEVA N° 30 / April 2007 Robert Howse and Ruti G. Teitel Beyond the Divide The Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the World Trade Organization Dialogue on Globalization Dialogue on Globalization contributes to the international debate on globalization – through conferences, workshops and publications – as part of the international work of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES). Dialogue on Globalization is based on the premise that globalization can be shaped into a direction that promotes peace, democracy and social justice. Dialogue on Globalization addresses “movers and shakers” both in developing countries and in the industrialized parts of the world, i.e. politicians, trade unionists, government offi cials, businesspeople, and journalists as well as representatives from NGOs, international organizations, and academia. Dialogue on Globalization is co-ordinated by the head offi ce of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Berlin and by the FES offi ces in New York and Geneva. The programme intensively draws on the international network of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung – a German non-profi t institution committed to the principles of social democracy – with offi ces, programmes and partners in more than 100 countries. This Occasional Paper is published by the Geneva offi ce of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung. April 2007 Table of Contents: 1. Preface 3 2. Executive Summary 4 3. Introduction 5 4.
