Power and sustainability governance in the soy-animal protein global value chain
Performing trade
Institutions, ideas and regional policy (un-)coordination
In this article, we engage with contemporary debates about South-South regionalism as spaces to advance collective development agendas. Our starting point is recent scholarship emphasizing regions as important political spaces where new development possibilities are being conceived in a changing global order. We build upon the emphasis this literature places on regions as sites of policy innovation but argue that insufficient attention has been p…
UK‐US Trade Relations and ‘Global Britain’
A UK‐US free trade agreement has consistently been presented as the main prize from the UK's much touted post‐Brexit trade policy independence. The UK Prime Minister's admission that this was not going to be realised any time soon may have surprised media pundits, but it merely confirmed what had become increasingly apparent since the referendum: that a free trade agreement with the US was a long shot. Taken together with the short‐lived suggesti…
It's Not All about the Economy Stupid! Immigration and Subjective Well-Being in England
While much is known regarding the effects of immigration for objective outcomes, relatively little is known regarding the effects for perceived well-being. By exploiting spatial and temporal variation in the net-inflows of foreign-born individuals across local areas in England, we examine the relationship between immigration and natives' subjective well-being as captured by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). We find small negative effects ov…
Limits to market power
The following article offers a critical engagement with recent economic constructivist scholarship as a means of understanding the nature of the European Union’s ‘market power’. It does so by focusing on the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of countries, and seeks to explain why — in spite of the European Union’s preponderant market power — the goal of promoting trade liberalisation and regulatory harmonisation through regional Economic Partn…
Regional encounters
In this article, we map and explain the unevenness of African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) responses to the EU’s external promotion of regional integration in the context of the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). Although the controversies associated with the EPAs are typically attributed to a common set of problems, what remains to be fully explained is why these manifested themselves to a greater or lesser extent in different national and …
Trading in development
This paper offers a contribution to recent debates on European Union (EU) external trade and development policy, with a specific focus on the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of countries. The question asked is why the EU encountered such difficulties in the attempt to translate its normative preferences for freer trade and closer economic integration into a series of binding agreements? Drawing on both economic constructivist and histo…
Caribbean development alternatives and the Cariforum–European Union economic partnership agreement
Competitive Liberalization and the ‘Global Europe’ Services and Investment Agenda
In the last decade the European Union (EU) has been negotiating with the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of countries to establish Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). In this article, EPAs are located within the context of the wider shift in EU trade policy towards bilateralism. This is done with reference to recent work in International Political Economy (IPE) emphasizing the ‘domestic‐societal’ and ‘systemic’ drivers of preferent…
Asymmetric bargaining and development trade-offs in the Cariforum-European Union Economic Partnership Agreement
On 15 October 2008, CARIFORUM became the first region among the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of countries to sign a ‘full’ Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union (EU). Although the EPA process has generated widespread critical commentary, few analysts have stopped to consider the motives of individual ACP countries and regions in their approach to the talks. In this article we consider the question of motives i…
Path Dependency and the Politics of Liberalisation in the Textiles and Clothing Industry
Earlier versions of this paper were presented to panels at the 2006 British International Studies Association annual conference, University of Cork, Ireland, and the 2007 International Studies Association annual conference, Chicago, Illinois, USA. The authors would like thank the participants of these two panels, as well as the editors of NPE and two anonymous reviewers, for helpful comments and suggestions. The authors take full responsibility f…
Small States and the Politics of Multilateral Trade Liberalization
The following article examines the position of small states in the global politics of trade and development. It does so by focusing specifically on the issue of multilateral trade liberalization and the attendant distributional consequences that this process is said to herald for small states. Drawing on historical intuitionalist insights, but couched in the specific empirical setting of the recent liberalization of the textiles and clothing sect…
Latin America's Political Economy of the Possible
European Trade Diplomacy and the Politics of Global Development
The article analyses the so-called ‘bra wars’ trade dispute that took place between the EU and China in 2005. This dispute raised a number of important questions linked, not only to the textiles and clothing (T&C) trade regime, but to the broader conduct of the EU in relation to the developing world. Over the years, the EU has attempted to construct a discourse towards developing countries that has sought to articulate a distinctively ‘European’ …
The Ending of the Multifibre Arrangement
An Unravelling Development Strategy? Garment Assembly in the Caribbean Basin after the Multifibre Arrangement
The purpose of this article is to assess the likely impact of the ending of the Multifibre Arrangement (MFA) on garment assembly in the Caribbean Basin. Over the last fifteen years or so garment assembly has come to represent one of the region's few economic 'success stories' and has accordingly helped to offset the loss of export revenue from traditional commodities such as coffee and sugar. With the ending of the MFA on 1 January 2005, however,…
The US--Caribbean apparel connection and the politics of 'Nafta parity
This article utilises a 'commodity chains' approach in order to examine the growth in the role of Caribbean offshore assembly operations in the North American apparel production complex. It specifically focuses on the recently enacted Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA), which was designed to address the diversionary consequences of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in terms of apparel-related investment in the Caribbean. …
