Titre : The travels of a T-shirt in the global economy : an economist examines the markets, power and politics of world trade Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Pietra Rivoli, Auteur Editeur : Wiley Année de publication : 2005 Importance : 254 p Note générale : 03.01 RIV Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Économie internationale
Conditions de travailTags : Economie mondiale Coton Entreprises Conditions de travail Emploi Politique commerciale Index. décimale : 03.01 COMMERCE / MONDIALISATION Généralités Résumé : During a 1999 protest of the World Trade Organization, Rivoli, an economics professor at Georgetown, looked on as an activist seized the microphone and demanded, "Who made your T-shirt?" Rivoli determined to find out. She interviewed cotton farmers in Texas, factory workers in China, labor champions in the American South and used-clothing vendors in Tanzania. Problems, Rivoli concludes, arise not with the market, but with the suppression of the market. Subsidized farmers, and manufacturers and importers with tax breaks, she argues, succeed because they avoid the risks and competition of unprotected global trade, which in turn forces poorer countries to lower their prices to below subsistence levels in order to compete. Rivoli seems surprised by her own conclusions, and while some chapters lapse into academic prose and tedious descriptions of bureaucratic maneuvering, her writing is at its best when it considers the social dimensions of a global economy, as in chapters on the social networks of African used-clothing entrepreneurs.

Titre : Trade is war : The West's war against the world Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yash Tandon, Auteur Editeur : OR Books Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 198 p Note générale : 03.01.TAN Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Commerce mondial OMC Mondialisation Multinationales Accords commerciaux Relations économiques internationales Relations nord-sud Index. décimale : 03.01 COMMERCE / MONDIALISATION Généralités Résumé : Globalization has reduced many aspects of modern life to little more than commodities controlled by multinational corporations. Everything, from land and water to health and human rights, is today intimately linked to the issue of free trade. Conventional wisdom presents this development as benign, the sole path to progress.
Yash Tandon, drawing on decades of on-the-ground experience as a high level negotiator in bodies such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), here challenges this prevailing orthodoxy. He insists that, for the vast majority of people, and especially those in the poorer regions of the world, free trade not only hinders development – it visits relentless waves of violence and impoverishment on their lives.
Trade Is War shows how the WTO and the Economic Partnership Agreements like the EU-Africa EPA and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) are camouflaged in a rhetoric that hides their primary function as the servants of global business. Their actions are inflaming a crisis that extends beyond the realm of the economic, creating hot wars for markets and resources, fought between proxies in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and now even in Europe.
In these pages Tandon suggests an alternative vision to this devastation, one based on self-sustaining, non-violent communities engaging in trade based on the real value of goods and services and the introduction of alternative currencies.Trade is war : The West's war against the world [texte imprimé] / Yash Tandon, Auteur . - [S.l.] : OR Books, 2015 . - 198 p.

Titre : Trade matters Type de document : document électronique Editeur : Bonn [Germany] : Engagement Global Année de publication : 2019 Collection : D+C development and cooperation num. 03-04 Importance : p. 6-21 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Commerce mondial Développement durable Politique de développement Relations Nord-Sud Politique commerciale Inde Etats-Unis Iran Afrique Europe Commerce de libre-échange Exportations OMC Index. décimale : 03.01 COMMERCE / MONDIALISATION Généralités Résumé : The rules-based system of international trade is under attack. So far, disruption does not seem to have caused lasting damage, though it is reducing opportunities around the world. Since exports have historically proven to be a driver of development, a liberal trade order serves the interests of small economies with poor populations. Strong trade relations, morevoer, make war less likely. Regional integration in economic communities makes sense, but is not substitute for the multilateral World Trade Organization.
This focus section directly relates to the following Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), SDG 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure), SDG 10 (reduced inequalities) and SDG 17 (partnerships for the goals). It also has a bearing on the entire SDG agenda.En ligne : https://www.dandc.eu/en/briefings/global-trade-regime-disarray-so-far-has-not-su [...] Trade matters [document électronique] . - Bonn (Germany) : Engagement Global, 2019 . - p. 6-21. - (D+C development and cooperation; 03-04) .

En 1972, les milieux d'affaires à vocation internationale sont effrayés par deux de la politique du président Nixon : le repli économique sur les Etats-Unis et une vision pentagonale (Etats-Unis, Union Soviétique, Europe de l'Ouest, Chine, Japon) des relations internationales. David Rockefeller propose alors la formation de la Trilatérale dont le but est de renforcer la coordination entre les trois éléments du monde occidental et de réunir, par-dessus les administrations nationales et et au-delà de la brièveté du mandat des gouvernements en place, un forum d'experts permettant des échanges de vue et la rédaction de rapports de synthèse.
