Intra-Asian trade is a major theme of recent writing on Asian economic history. From the second half of the nineteenth century, intra-Asian trade flows linked Asia into an integrated economic system, with reciprocal benefits for all participants. But although this was a network from which all gained, there was also considerable inter-Asian competition between Asian producers for these Asian markets, and those of the wider world. This collection presents captivating snap-shots of trade in specific commodities, alongside chapters comprehensively covering the region. The book covers: China's relative backwardness, Japanese copper exports, Japan's fur trade, Siam's luxury rice trade, Korea, Japanese shipbuilding, the silk trade, the refined sugar trade, competition in the rice trade, the Japanese cotton textile trade to Africa, multilateral settlements in Asia, the cotton textile trade to Britain, and the growth of the palm oil industry in Malaysia and Indonesia. The opening of Asia, especially in Japan and China, liberated the creative forces of the market within the new intra-Asian economy. Filling a particular gap in the literature on intra-Asian trade prior to the twentieth century, this is an insightful study that makes a considerable contribution to our knowledge of the Asian trade both prior to, and after, the arrival of colonial states. It will be of great interest to historians and economists focusing on Asia.

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.

Since the 1960s Neville Meaney has been asking probing questions about social change and the rise of nationalism, especially as found in the making of Australia's self-image and its engagement with the world. His efforts to unravel what he once called 'the riddle of Australian nationalism' have raised important, and often unsettling, challenges for Australians. Bringing together the cultural, intellectual, political and diplomatic dimensions of the national experience, Meaney's work has been dominated by two overarching and interconnected questions: how Australians should resolve the tension between the 'community of culture' and the 'community of interest' and how they should reconcile their British heritage with their Asian moorings?.

Die Arbeit untersucht die Wohlfahrtswirkungen des internationalen Steuerwettbewerbs sowie die Notwendigkeit und Möglichkeit einer Koordination der Steuersysteme im Bereich der direkten Steuern. Hierzu wird der Zusammenhang zwischen den Rahmenbedingungen, unter denen ein Steuerwettbewerb stattfindet, und dessen Rückwirkungen auf die Entscheidungen privater und staatlicher Akteure detailliert in einem einheitlichen Modellrahmen aufgezeigt. Dabei wird deutlich, dass negative Effizienzwirkungen des Steuerwettbewerbs Folge eines (n-1)-Problems sind. Weitere Schwerpunkte der Arbeit sind der Steuerwettbewerb zwischen Leviathan-Staaten sowie der Steuerwettbewerb und die Möglichkeit staatlicher Umverteilung bei internationaler Haushaltsmobilität. Ferner werden die Grenzen internationaler Kooperationen aufgezeigt und ein Lösungsansatz zur internationalen Kapitaleinkommensbesteuerung formuliert.
