Honor Among Nations
Author: Daniel F. Kohler
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Europe
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
This Note analyzes the workings of the major international agreement (the "gentlemen's agreement") intended to restrict the volume of support subsidies provided through export credit programs. In particular, the Note considers the problem of maintaining discipline among members and the extent to which the agreement is threatened by the growth of nonmember exporters. As a framework for the analysis, it examines the reasons governments operate these export subsidy schemes in light of powerful economic arguments that the same economic goals can be attained more efficiently through other means. Finally, it identifies possible threats to the working of the agreement, and suggests remedies to deal with these threats.

Making-Up People: Youth, Truth and Politics
Author: Judith Bessant
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000317609
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
This book is about modern politics and young people. Judith Bessant revises some long-standing myths about children and young people’s politics. She highlights the huge gap between the many ways young people and politics are talked about and how they have long been politically active. Bessant draws on a relational historical sociology to show how since the nineteenth century certain historical dynamics, political interests and social imaginaries have enabled social scientists, writers, political leaders and policymakers to imagine and ‘make up’ different kinds of young people. Given these representations of childhood, adolescence and youth, everyone knows that young people are cognitively immature, inexperienced, morally under-developed and lack good judgement. For these reasons they cannot possibly be allowed to engage in the serious, grown-up business of politics. Yet in just one of the many contradictions, young people are criticised by many of their elders for being politically apathetic and disengaged from politics. Many think recent global warming movements largely led by quite young people are a novel phenomenon. Yet young people have been at the forefront of political movements of all kinds since the French Revolution. Since the 1960s, children and young people increasingly played a major, if sometimes obscured, role in civil rights, anti-war, anti-globalisation, anti-austerity and global-warming movements. This accessible book is rich in theoretical and historical insight that is sure to appeal to sociologists, historians, youth studies scholars and political scientists, as well as to the general reader.

Actors and Agency in Global Social Governance
Author: Alexandra Kaasch
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191061565
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Actors and Agency in Global Social Governance seeks to advance our understanding of the global dimension of social policy by applying the notion of global social governance on actors, their relations to each other, and their pathways as well as their footprints of influence in the specific policy fields of social concern in which they are active. Focusing on a broad array of individual and corporate global social policy actors, ranging from internationally operating intergovernmental organizations to state formations and NGOs, the contributions to this volume draw a fuller picture of agency in global social policy than what current accounts provide. It considers the multiple facets of individual scope and legitimacy for a particular actor in conjunction with the configuration of global social governance as characterised by multi-centred and multi-scaled obstacles as well as diverse forms of collaboration. The volume studies the contextualised actor's range and power in designing, shaping, and facilitating various global social policies. Thus, the contributions discuss the role of particular (corporate) actors within global social policy structures and assess the impact of a number of key organizations, states, groups, and individuals in the governance of global social policy. At the same time, a variety of social policy fields in which these actors are involved are addressed, including labour market issues, family policy, health policy, education policy, migration issues, and global (re)distribution via various forms of development aid or remittances.
