"Complementing trade theories with relevant trade empirics, this book covers three aspects of the study of International Economics: Pure theory of trade, trade policy, and theory of BoP and exchange rate. In the first part, it discusses the basic principles of international trade between dissimilar countries as well as between similar countries, and implications thereof in terms of welfare, income distribution and growth. In the second part a wide range of policy issues are analyzed including costs and benefits of unilateral trade restrictions and promotions through different instruments like tariff, import quotas, export subsidy and VER; reciprocatory trade policy choices through bilateralism and regionalism; product standards that regulate trade between developed and developing countries; and implications of capital inflow, FDI, fragmentation and global value chains. In the third part, the book discusses different currency and exchange rate regimes and their implications for a country's balance of payments and foreign exchange reserves. Drawing upon the basic theories, it studies expenditure-reducing and expenditure-switching policies to correct for BoP imbalances under a pegged exchange rate regime. Lessons learnt from some of the financial crises originating in the developing world under overvalued pegged exchange rate regimes with or without capital and exchange controls have been analyzed in the context of the Latin American debt crisis in the 1980s, BoP crisis in India in 1991, and the Asian financial crisis during 1997-98. Finally, some reflections on the choice of exchange rate regime and optimum currency area wind up discussions of monetary issues in international economics"--

The subsequent volume revolves around the Social-Fields-Approach (SOFIA) as an approach to conceptualization and operationalisation for the purpose of empirical research. It contributes a new perspective and approach in research on innovation. We believe that SOFIA can have implications for both academic research and practical applications in reshaping the existing instruments and governance arrangements in innovation policy. Whilst applying SOFIA, we urge researchers to leverage the plurality of different qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method approaches in innovation studies, including less conventional methods, such as QCA (Ragin, 2008). Diligent application of SOFIA can also subsequently lead to the development of high-level theoretical contributions.

The volume Remembered and Imagined Soviet Union addresses memories, conceptions, and images relating to the Soviet past from the perspective of cultural memory. The book explores how the Soviet Union has been recalled and how it has been depicted in cultural products like literature, museum exhibitions, art and the media. Instead of trying to say what the Soviet Union was, the book analyses the ways in which Finns, Russians and Estonians have viewed the Soviet past at different times. The book answers the following questions: What is remembered about the Soviet past? How has the country been represented in various cultural texts? What is forgotten or not talked about? The book consists of chapters by scholars of history, literature and art studies. They look at key themes of the Soviet past in the framework of cultural memory, with topics including space conquest, the superiority of the hockey team, known as the "Red machine", political propaganda, and persecution of minorities.
