The Geneva effect
Do representatives of member states in Geneva and officials based in capitals agree on priorities for cooperation in the World Trade Organization? Exploiting an original survey of trade policy officials, we find that respondents representing their countries in Geneva often accord substantially different priorities to institutional reform and policy issues than officials based in capitals. We hypothesize that this ‘Geneva effect’ reflects bureaucr…
Informal Learning and WTO Renewal
‘Thematic sessions’ bring dynamism to WTO by allowing committees to consider what works well under an agreement, including sharing experiences with implementation, what is not working, and what is next on the agenda. Thematic sessions are a broad class of meetings that are sponsored by or associated with a WTO body in some way, but that are not part of its formal meetings. The WTO held over 100 such sessions in the three years from 2017 to 2019. …
Stakeholder Preferences and Priorities for the Next WTO Director General
This paper reports on the results of an expert survey to solicit views on what WTO members and the international trade community consider the most important attributes of the Director‐General of the WTO and the substantive policy and institutional reform priorities confronting the WTO. The results suggest strong support for a leader with managerial and political experience, and a professional network that spans international organizations, major …
Yours is bigger than mine! Could an index like the Producer Subsidy Equivalent help in understanding the comparative incidence of industrial subsidies
State support remains a leading cause of tension in international commercial relations. Governments see trade distortions that look like they were caused by industrial subsidies, but lack data to illuminate that state support. In the 1980s, the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) developed an index that helped countries to see the overall incidence of agricultural subsidies, initially called the Producer Subsidy Equivale…
Impact of urbanization on US surface climate
We combine Landsat and MODIS data in a land model to assess the impact of urbanization on US surface climate. For cities built within forests, daytime urban land surface temperature (LST) is much higher than that of vegetated lands. For example, in Washington DC and Atlanta, daytime mean temperature differences between impervious and vegetated lands reach 3.3 and 2.0 °C, respectively. Conversely, for cities built within arid lands, such as Phoeni…
El desvío
In the arena of free-fighting, traditional blocking techniques and grappling entries often don’t work as well as the simple parry. The parry—a refinement of the “slap away” motion that most combatants employ instinctively when confronted with an attack—is a critical tool in the martial artist’s armamentarium, yet it has received surprisingly little scrutiny in the research and writing of the arts. Having been students and teachers of various stri…
Canada's Third National Policy
The idea of the National Policy as both a collective endeavour and a framework for detailed policy analysis is more constitutive of the Canadian state and its governing instruments than is any of its renamed Constitution Acts. National policies originate in the actions and demands of citizens and are often framed by cultural and economic elites before being appropriated by politicians. This essay begins with a descriptive genealogy of Canada's th…
An Overview of Terra Mission Results Related to the Carbon Cycle
Launched in December 1999 as the Earth Observing System's flagship observatory, the Terra Mission (formerly EOS AM-1) carries a suite of five instruments that collect comprehensive global measurements of earth's atmosphere, cryosphere, lands, and oceans. One of the mission's science goals is the collection of data that will enable a better quantitative understanding of earth's carbon cycle through direct observation of atmospheric constituents an…
U.S. Intelligence and the Nazis
This book is a direct result of the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. Drawing upon many documents declassified under this law, the authors demonstrate what US intelligence agencies learned about Nazi crimes during World War II and about the nature of Nazi intelligence agencies' role in the Holocaust. It examines how some US corporations found ways to profit from Nazi Germany's expropriation of the property of German Jews. This book also reveal…
Values and Interests in Attitudes toward Trade and Globalization
Many analyses of public opinion regarding global integration, and by implication global governance, are based on the material factors or interests driving individual and collective political preferences. In contrast, we show that values and ideology offer a better explanation of attitudes toward trade liberalization than do economic interests, and that the material self-interest factors that do influence opinion about trade are not relevant for o…
See You in Geneva? Legal (Mis)Representations of the Trading System
When officials from different countries disagree about trade policy, some say ‘see you in Geneva!’ meaning ‘see you in court!’ In offering a pluralist alternative to this centralism of analysts and practitioners, I represent the World Trade Organization (WTO) not as a coercive court used for enforcement but as a site for the elaboration of a system of ‘law’ that arises from and provides a framework for self-directed human interaction. Trade law i…
Crossing the river by feeling the stones
When we ask where the WTO is going after its debacle in Seattle its success in Doha, and the failure in Cancun, we find neither imminent collapse nor a new grand design. My analysis of the difference between these ministerial meetings separates the inter-linked themes of inadequate WTO procedure, the evolving trade policy agenda, and the changing role of developing countries. The first frame is the effort to make the institutionstrongerby improvi…

The Mystery of Heinrich Müller
In April 2001, the National Archives released twenty Central Intelligence Agency “Name Files” as part of the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. Many more such releases will follow. While all of the files contain items of interest to students of the Nazi period and the Cold War, the file for Hitler's Gestapo Chief, Heinrich Müller, is most interesting for what it does not contain. While it is impossible to say for certain how or even whether Mül…
Probing the Aftermyth of Seattle
Probing the After-Myth of Seattle
FOR THE OFFICIAL PARTICIPANTS, the third ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle in December 1999 failed spectacularly, with tens of thousands of protestors battling thousands of police. After the long anticipated Battle in Seattle, journalists fretted about the apparent debacle in Seattle, leaders of civil society organizations proclaimed the dawn of a new era, and serious academics in proliferating symposia began to…
Diplomatic Missions
The collection addresses expectations placed on ambassadors, the role of provincial representatives, the history of foreign service recruitment, diplomatic change in Washington, the challenges of small missions, the contrasts between representing Canada in a G-7 capital and in a populous developing country, civil society organizations and diplomacy, the promotion of Canadian exports, and the perspective of domestic departments. Both diplomats and…

Still lying abroad? On the institution of the resident ambassador
What explains the persistence and proliferation of the resident ambassador? Why is the role apparently important both to the conduct of international affairs and to the work of governments? I do not try to propose a new theory of ambassadors, but I do offer conclusions about the nature of living in a globalized society of states where the economic logic of markets and the political logic of communities are at cross‐purposes. It is a world in whic…

Atlanticism without the Wall
In December 1989, in the midst of the most extraordinary few months in European life in four decades, the United States secretary of state, James Baker, went to Berlin to speak about a 'new era for Europe.' Baker evoked the now-familiar image of a 'new architecture' whose purpose would be first to overcome the division of Europe and second to 'bridge the Atlantic Ocean' as 'America's security politically, militarily, and economically remains link…
