Overview

This two volume set presents a wide-ranging selection of important articles, which explore the effects of the globalization of the world economy on developing and newly industrialized countries.

Further topics include the role of multinational firms, the effects of the economic decisions taken by worldwide organizations or by the institutions of the major economic players, and the impact of global policy issues such as environment and trade on emerging economies.

Most of the 43 articles and excerpts collected in these two volumes were originally published during the period 1995-97. The main themes covered are technology and trade policy; capital market integration; globalization and regionalism; multinational production and sectoral issues; and multilateral institutions and global policy issues. The final section looks at the implications of what has been agreed to as a result of the Uruguay Round--particularly TRIMS (Trade-Related Investment Measures) and TRIP (Trade-Related Intellectual Property)--and environmental and labor standards.
