CommerceTags : IDE Chine Asie du Sud-Est Index. décimale : 03.01 COMMERCE / MONDIALISATION Généralités Résumé : China’s surge in foreign direct investment inflows is raising concerns that it is taking such investment away from other South-East Asian economies. This article assesses whether this is the case, using fixed-effects estimation to test for the relationships between FDI in South-East Asian economies within a simple model of location determinants of foreign direct investment, assuming the supply of FDI to be elastic. The results suggest that China raised rather than diverted such investment into neighbouring economies during 1986-2001; the results obtain whether inflows are lagged or not. This may be because countries do not compete for foreign direct investment in market and resource-seeking activities; the only competitive segment is likely to be export-processing – here China may be complementing other countries in electronics, where they are being integrated into a regional production network. There may be FDI substitution in other export-oriented industries, but the effect is not large enough to influence the results. However, the data do not allow different types of FDI to be tested separately, and this conclusion remains speculative. En ligne : https://unctad.org/en/Docs/iteiit20051_en.pdf

Titre : The Protectionist Myth Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bruce Stokes, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 14 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Protectionnisme Libre-échange Index. décimale : 03.01 COMMERCE / MONDIALISATION Généralités Résumé : Conventional wisdom is always conventional. And it is frequently wrong. Such is the case with the widespread belief among many economists, headline writers, business leaders and policy makers that free trade is in retreat, imperiling the hard-won gains of past market liberalization, and threatening ruinous trade wars. When the US House of Representatives voted to impose quotas on foreign steel producers in march, The Economist mourned that "Americans are beguiled by protectionism".

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.
