  • Skilled Immigration Today: Prospects, Problems, And Policies

    Gordon H Hanson, Jagdish Bhagwati et al.BOOKSkilled migration today2009

    Skilled immigration into rich countries and competition for talent and professional skills are of major concern among nations today. Comprehensive immigration reform addressed to illegal immigration predictably foundered in Congress last year. This revived the question of skilled immigration and was hastily added to the proposed reform agenda in the hope that it would bring more pro-immigration troops into battle. Immigration reform still failed …

  • Termites in the Trading System

    Jagdish Bhagwati, Jagdish N BhagwatiBOOKTermites in the Trading System2008

    Jagdish Bhagwati, the internationally renowned economist who uniquely combines a reputation as the leading scholar of international trade with a substantial presence in public policy on the important issues of the day, shines here a critical light on Preferential Trade Agreements, revealing how the rapid spread of PTAs endangers the world trading system. Numbering by now well over 300, and rapidly increasing, these preferential trade agreements, …

  • We Need to Guard Against Destructive Creation

    Jagdish Bhagwati, Jagdish N BhagwatiARTICLECallaloo2008Cited by: 1

    We Need to Guard Against Destructive Creation* Jagdish Bhagwati (bio) It seems clear that the current financial crisis, terrifying though it is in its dimensions, will not be allowed to turn into the Great Crash of 2008. However, the larger lessons of the crisis, and its commonalities with previous calamities, must still be learnt if a new financial architecture is to be designed that can reduce the prospect of something similar happening again. …

  • Economic policy in the public interest

    Open AccessJagdish Bhagwati, Jagdish N BhagwatiARTICLEDaedalus2007

    Economists, whose discipline has always had a strong relationship to moral philosophy, have always seen their role in society as that of pursuing the public good. They properly see themselves as guardians of the public interest, and to be engaged in public-policy debates against special interests who wish to "capture" policy to advance their narrowly circumscribed, self-serving agendas

  • In Defense of Globalization

    Jagdish N BhagwatiBOOKIn defense of globalization2004Cited by: 67

    Publisher's description: The riot-torn meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999 was only the most dramatic sign of the intensely passionate debate now raging over globalization, which critics blame for everything from child labour to environmental degradation, cultural homogenization, and a host of other ills afflicting poorer nations. Now Jagdish Bhagwati, the internationally renowned economist known equally for the clarity of …

  • A False Alarm: Overcoming Globalization's Discontents

    Richard N Cooper, Jagdish Bhagwati et al.ARTICLEForeign Affairs2004

    Globalization is a buzzword that has no precise definition. It takes on many mean ings, drawing both fervent support and fervent opposition. Indeed, the term is so imprecise that it is possible to be simul taneously for and against globalization. In Defense of Globalization focuses on its economic dimension, defined by Bhagwati as diverse forms of international integra tion such as foreign trade, multinational direct foreign investment, movements…

  • The Muddles over Outsourcing

    Open AccessJagdish Bhagwati, Jagdish N Bhagwati et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Economic…2004Cited by: 11References: 13

    Critics have muddled the public debate over offshore outsourcing by using the term interchangeably to refer to altogether different phenomena such as on-line purchase of services, direct foreign investment and, sometimes, all imports. We argue that clarity requires distinguishing among these various phenomena and define outsourcing explicitly as the services trade at arm's length that does not require geographical proximity of the buyer and the s…

  • Borders beyond Control

    Jagdish Bhagwati, Jagdish N BhagwatiARTICLEForeign Affairs2003Cited by: 37

    INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION lies close to the center of global problems that now seize the attention of politicians and intellectuals across the world. Take just a few recent examples. Prime Ministers Tony Blair of the United Kingdom and Jose Maria Aznar of Spain proposed at last year's European Council meet ing in Seville that the European Union withdraw aid from countries that did not take effective steps to stem the flow of illegal emigrants to th…

    Commenting on the papers in this symposium is paradoxically a difficult task. The authors are remarkably distinguished and one can only learn from what they write. Indeed, I have learned much from them (especially from Dean David Leebron’s splendid clarification of several aspects of linkage, a paper that shows that he should have been an Oxford philosopher if only he had not been such a successful legal scholar). Yet it is easy for an invited co…

    Richard N Cooper, Jagdish N Bhagwati et al.ARTICLEForeign Affairs2001Cited by: 6

    In The Wind of the Hundred Days, a new collection of public policy essays, Jagdish Bhagwati applies his characteristic wit and accessible style to the subject of globalization. Notably, he argues that the true Clinton scandal lay in the administration's mismanagement of -- resulting in the paradox of immense domestic policy success combined with dramatic failure on the external front. Bhagwati assigns the bulk of the blame for the East Asian fina…

  • The US-Japan car dispute: A monumental mistake

    Jagdish Bhagwati, Jagdish N BhagwatiARTICLEInternational Affairs1996Cited by: 3

    The author examines the recent trade dispute between the United States and Japan concerning the automobile industry as an illustration of the shortcomings of US trade policy under the Clinton administration, in respect of two main issues: aggressive unilateralism, and demands for managed trade in the form of ‘voluntary import expansions’. He argues both the US complaints against Japan were ill-founded and that the methods chosen by the US adminis…

  • The New Thinking on Development

    Open AccessJagdish N BhagwatiARTICLEJournal of democracy1995Cited by: 8References: 3

    The New Thinking on Development Jagdish Bhagwati (bio) Nearly three decades ago, I wrote of a trade-off or “cruel dilemma” which then seemed to govern the relationship between democracy and economic development. 1 It is now my pleasure to admit that this view, based on arguments that I shall presently discuss, was too pessimistic and despondent, and to affirm the more sanguine view of this relationship that has replaced the old thinking. The new …
