IMF reform after the crisis / Dries Lesage 

Public ISBD Titre : IMF reform after the crisis Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Dries Lesage, Auteur ; Peter Debaere, Auteur ; Sacha Dierckx ; Mattias Vermeiren Editeur : Washington [USA] : Foreign Policy Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 26 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Crise économique et financière FMI Tags : FMI  BRIC  Réformes Résumé : The global financial crisis moved the International Monetary Fund (IMF) back to the center stage, after some years of disengagement by major emerging markets and developing countries (EMDCs). Neo-liberal institutionalism predicts that crises in a highly interdependent world induce states to strengthen multilateral institutions. In the case of the IMF, many observers believed that a more effective IMF was contingent on giving EMDCs a larger voice. However, the 2010 Quota and Governance Reform at the IMF fell below expectations in this regard. On the basis of an analysis of the ex ante preferences and power relations of the major players, we show that this should not come as a surprise and that the 2010 reform agreement has reached the boundaries of the politically possible. Hence, this empirical case study brings in power and preferences to qualify the more optimist neo-liberal institutionalist accounts against the backdrop of an increasingly multipolar world.

The Geopolitical Stakes of America’s Trade Policy / Michael Froman  

Public ISBD Titre : The Geopolitical Stakes of America’s Trade Policy : Why trade matters more than ever for U.S. national security Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Michael Froman, Auteur Editeur : Washington [USA] : Foreign Policy Année de publication : February 17, 2015 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : TTIP  Politique commerciale  Géopolitique économique  Etats-Unis  Sécurité nationale Résumé : "At a time when the crisis in Ukraine has triggered deep unease, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) will remind the world that our transatlantic partnership is second-to-none. This agreement will deepen our economic relationship with the European Union, already the world’s largest, by bridging divergences between our regulations and standards — without compromising health, safety, environmental, and consumer protection on both sides of the Atlantic. Many in Europe are looking to TTIP not only to spur much-needed economic growth but also to support efforts to reform European energy policies and create greater energy security."
