Abstract

This book examines modes of economic contribution in the ancient world through taxes, tribute, or so-called gifts. Specialists in the field of the ancient Near East, Egypt, classical Greece, Rome, and Israel, joined by an economic anthropologist, present a fresh evaluation of the textual and archaeological evidence. A prime question explored is the extent to which these disparate sources complement or contradict each other. State-imposed transactions were often recorded with an ideological bias, much dependent on whether the donors and recipients were viewed as in- or outsiders. The present interdisciplinary approach supplies the basis for the ancient economic terminology of contribution, taking into account the specific cultural context, the language of ‘international’ policy, and the correlation between modern and ancient termini.

Abstract

This paper outlines reforms that have been achieved in the modernization of the customs administrations of francophone sub-Saharan (African) countries since the mid-1990s. It also highlights the remaining issues in this process. Progress has been made in the automation of operations and procedures, with constant and significant efforts to strengthen revenue collection and improve trade facilitation in a number of countries. However, the pace and scope of modernization remains insufficient, particularly in developing customs control and enforcement capacities, and enhancing operational resources and management. The findings suggest that the authorities’ strong commitment to reform, organizational and management changes, adequate technical assistance and project management, and effective implementation of modern customs standards, are critical to accelerate the modernization of customs in francophone sub-Saharan Africa.  .

Abstract

This unique series offers the reader a comprehensive, bilingual analysis on a case-by-case basis of the jurisprudence of the WTO. Each case study contains: a synopsis and details of the case in question, and important bibliographical references; these are followed by a summary of the facts and procedure, claims of the parties, findings of the panel, issues raised in the appeal, conclusions of the appellate body and scholarly observations. Each case is analyzed by a different scholar in the field, so as to ensure the involvement in the series of the widest range of (English and French speaking) scholars and practitioners. This approach to the case-law gives the reader a complete and objective account of the reasoning of the dispute resolution mechanism, including numerous quotes (in italics when they are extracted from the case in question, for ease of reference), while at the same time offering a critical perspective, which analyses the reasoning adopted and places it in a global perspective. The volumes are organized chronologically, and the cases of a particular year are usually covered in two consecutive volumes. So far the case law of the following years has been published: 1996:-1997'; 1998; 1999-1'. More recent years and the intervening years will soon be published. Cette série unique d'ouvrages – en anglais et en français – a pour ambition de présenter au lecteur la « jurisprudence » de l’OMC de façon simple, cohérente et systématique. Chaque article obéit à une grille de lecture et contient ainsi le synopsis et les détails de l’espèce ainsi que de nombreuses références bibliographiques. Puis, après un bref rappel des faits et de la procédure, de la demande des parties, des conclusions du groupe spécial et de l’Organe d’appel, une rubrique « Observations » présente une approche critique de l’affaire. Les contributeurs sont aussi bien des universitaires que des praticiens, des francophones que des anglophones, avec la volonté éditoriale de tirer parti de tous les savoir-faire. Il y a aussi le souci d’aborder chaque affaire selon une double approche : d’une part, rendre compte fidèlement des raisonnements adoptés par les organes du mécanisme de règlement des différends, avec de nombreuses citations (en italiques lorsqu’elles sont extraites de l’affaire commentée) ; d’autre part, examiner ces raisonnements de la façon la plus complète et la plus objective en les replaçant dans une perspective d’évolution globale. Chaque volume est ordonné de manière chronologique, et, sauf exception, les affaires de chaque année sont traitées en deux volumes consécutifs. Les ouvrages relatifs aux affaires jugées entre 1996 et 1999 sont d’ores et déjà disponibles. La jurisprudence plus récente fera l’objet des prochains volumes de la collection.

Abstract

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) talks attempt to link together at least nine countries in three continents to create a 'high-quality, twenty-first century agreement'. Such an agreement is intended to open markets to competition between the partners more than ever before in sectors ranging from goods and services to investment, and includes rigorous rules in the fields of intellectual property, labour protection and environmental conservation. The TPP also aims to improve regulatory coherence, enhance production supply chains and help boost small and medium-sized enterprises. It could transform relations with regions such as Latin America, paving the way to an eventual Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific, or see innovations translated into the global trade regulatory system operating under the WTO. However, given the tensions between strategic and economic concerns, the final deal could still collapse into something closer to a standard, 'twentieth-century' trade agreement.

Abstract

As tariffs have fallen worldwide, the increasing importance of non-tariff policies for further trade liberalization has become widely recognized. The methods for assessing the potential effects of such liberalization have lagged significantly behind those available for analyzing tariffs. This book is the first volume that comprehensively addresses this gap. It has been designed to be useful for both economists and policymakers, especially for those involved in communicating ideas and results between economists and policymakers. This indispensable book contains cutting-edge discussions of the f
