  • Consequences of US Trade Policy on EU-US Trade Relations and the Global Trading System
    STUDY Requested by the INTA committee Consequences of US trade policy on EU-US trade relations and the global trading system Policy Department for External Relations Directorate General for External Policies of the Union PE 603.882 - November 2018 EN DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY Consequences of US trade policy on EU-US trade relations and the global trading system ABSTRACT The Trump Administration’s trade policy is driven by the belief that previous Administrations have let other countries take advantage of the United States for foreign policy reasons, as demonstrated by America’s more open trade regime and its trade deficits. It is determined to end this perceived imbalance by demanding reciprocity instead, and is willing to use tough tactics to achieve this through strict enforcement of its procurement and trade defense law; expansive tax provisions; bringing the WTO dispute settlement to a halt; withdrawing from and forcing others to renegotiate existing bilateral and multilateral agreements; adopting a novel “national security” argument to justify breaking WTO tariff commitments for steel, aluminum and possibly autos; and enacting punitive tariffs on billions of dollars of imports from China, possibly threatening a trade war. The scenarios for U.S.-EU trade relations as well as the global trading system are anything but rosy. The EU can stand up to the Administration’s “bullying,” or it can take advantage of America’s need for a “re- balancing” to build its own stature by taking simple steps to improve EU-U.S. trade, forging a way forward in the WTO, and providing necessary leadership to address the dangers China’s economic system poses to the global trading order.

  • Chapter 2 Globalization: Past, Present and Future Chapter 1 Analyzed The
    Chapter 2 Globalization: Past, Present and Future Chapter 1 analyzed the structure of the global economy that has been revealed by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis from the viewpoints of the movement of people, goods, funds, and ideas (technological know-how and data) while taking into consideration the restrictions imposed on face-to-face communication due to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 transmission through human-to-human interactions has largely spread due to the progress of globalization. However, until now, the world has achieved development thanks to globalization and the movement of people, goods and ideas (technological know-how and data). This chapter explains the conceptual framework of “unbundling” that was proposed by Baldwin (2016) to change the way of thinking about globalization, and discusses the past, present and future of globalization. In addition, the role of government, which has been changing amid globalization, is under the spotlight once again, raising expectations that government will play a role adapted to the ongoing globalization. Moreover, in the situation where the changing globalization and a network of economic partnership agreements (EPAs) showed combined effects, Japan has been transforming itself from a trading nation to an investment-oriented nation in recent years due to the development of supply chain networks, mainly in Asia, and an increase in outward foreign direct investment. On the other hand, the importance of dealing with the challenge of global sustainability has become clear. Looking toward the future of globalization, it is expected that the coming era will require more investments in digitalization and human resources.

  • Originalist Sin: the Failure of Orginalism to Justify the Unitary
    42513-lcb_24-3 Sheet No. 172 Side A 08/03/2020 09:57:48 LCB_24_3_Art_8_Mohan.docx (Do Not Delete) 7/14/20 10:41 PM NOTES & COMMENTS ORIGINALIST SIN: THE FAILURE OF ORIGINALISM TO JUSTIFY THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE THEORY by Marc Mohan* Originalists justify a “unitary executive” theory of presidential powers using the Con- stitution’s vesting of the executive power in “a President,” as opposed to a council or other multi-member setup. In spite of this justification’s popularity with originalists, a deeper understanding of prerogative and power, as the Founders understood those key concepts, reveals that the unitary executive theory cannot be justified through either the original intent or the original meaning of our founding document. In the absence of this grounding, the unitary executive theory is underpinned by modern exigencies and there- fore loses coherency as an originalist theory. I.

  • Government and Economics: an Emerging Field of Study1
    Government and Economics: An Emerging Field of Study1 David Daokui Li2 Eric S. Maskin3 June 2021 Abstract In this paper, we discuss the field of government and economics, an emerging body of work that aims to better understand government’s role, incentives and behavior in a modern market economy, as well as how government actions shape the economy’s performance. In the first part of the paper, we present evidence that the size and scope of government in market economies have grown much larger since the industrial revolution. We then briefly examine particular periods in the histories of the U.S., Germany, Japan, South Korea, and China when these countries’ governments played an especially vigorous role in promoting rapid economic growth. We also provide statistical evidence that, across countries, more robust market-supporting behavior from governments is associated with higher per capita income and faster growth. The second part begins with a review of existing areas of economic research suggesting that, so far, the discipline has neglected some significant questions concerning government as an active player in a modern market economy. 1 We are grateful for comments and suggestions by Meixin Guo, Zhangkai Huang, Bing Li, and Lin Lu as well as for capable research assistance from Emily Finkelstine, Yuntao Hou, Kun Lang, Zihang Wang, and He Zhang. We alone are responsible for all errors. 2 Tsinghua University 3 Harvard University and Higher School of Economics 1 Finally, we propose a number of possible future research topics that we think are tailored for the new field of government and economies.

INTRODUCTION The Declaration on Trade made by Prime Minister Mulroney and Presi- dent Reagan at their meeting in Quebec City on March 17-18, 1985, could lead to developments of historic importance in Canada-United States trade relations. The two leaders agreed on the objective of reduc- ing and removing tariff and other barriers to cross-border trade, and called for a report within six months "on all possible ways" to achieve this objective. They also committed themselves to halt protectionism in cross-border trade in goods and services. They announced the resolution of a number of existing irritants in bilateral trade, or action aimed at resolving them. And,
