Review Industrial Policy and Competitive Advantage (International Library of Critical Writings in Economics) / Edward Elgar Publishing:The emergence of industrial policy as a central issue among both policy makers and the intellectual community reflects not only concerns about the international competitiveness of firms and nations but also unemployment and growth. Scholarship on industrial policy has been scattered across a wide range of disciplines and subjects, rendering it difficult to grasp the state of knowledge on the subject. The purpose of this three volume set is to provide the classic articles forming the building blocks of scholarship on industrial policy and present them in an integrated framework. These classic contributions span a number of subjects within economics, such as international trade, industrial economics, labor economics, economic development and technological change, as well as a number of different academic disciplines, including political science, sociology, international relations, and international management. The first volume focuses on The Mandate for Industrial Policy, the second on Instruments and Targets, and the third on Industry and Country Studies.

Review Global Economic Institutions (Critical Writings on Global Institutions) / Routledge:In recent years, there has been a very steep increase in globalization which, among other things, has provoked an increased interest in global economic institutions. Such interest comes notably from the emerging countries. However, researchers who wish to understand better the workings and impact of these institutions are confronted with several problems. First, many of the present features of these international organizations are rooted in their history, but access to older contributions to the literature that shed light on the reasons behind the adoption of such structures is often very difficult. Second, the relevant modern contributions appear in a bewildering array of journals, books, and reports that range over different fields such as economics, law, and political science. The sheer scale of the growth in research output on global economic institutions - and the breadth of the field - makes this collection especially timely and welcome. It presents researchers and other users with a rationally structured set of the key contributions that together give a balanced picture of the field. Covering both canonical and cutting-edge scholarship, it also includes work that was intended to inspire policy. Among such normative studies, the best of those that have actually marked major developments and opened up new eras in international cooperation and academic thinking are included. The materials selected and introduced by the collection's editor, a leading scholar in the field, are organized along lines of specialization. [+]The first volume explores general aspects that are common to all global economic institutions, while the other three each deal with a specific field. Volume two covers trade, volume three, finance and volume four, environment. Each volume presents a similar structure featuring first, the rationale of international institutions; second, the principles that inspire and orient their functioning; third, the way they are organized and structured; and fourth, their governance and instruments. "Global Economics Institutions" is an essential reference collection and is destined to be valued as a vital research resource by all scholars and students of the subject.

Review Ure's Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures and Mines (Early Sources in Reference) / Routledge:Andrew Ure (1778-1857), Scottish chemist, scientific writer and professor at the University of Glasgow, was an enthusiast of the new manufacturing systems that were emerging in the nineteenth century. He took a great interest in the application of science to the arts and industry and in making science accessible to the lay person, being the first to establish a course of popular scientific lectures for working men. His Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures and Mines is a well-known and much-used book, which went to several editions. This, the 6th edition published in 1867, appeared after the 1851 Great Exhibition and, crucially, incorporates a great deal of new information that resulted. Chiefly rewritten and generally enlarged, it was edited by Robert Hunter after Ure's death, assisted by some fifty contributors. The volumes are alphabetically arranged and well-illustrated with nearly 2000 wood engravings, plus numerous tables. Packed with thousands of useful technical and statistical information on material, chemical and machine processes and industries, it covers an exceptional range of topics from manufacture and export figures of biscuits, cotton, steel, and sugar, to descriptions of minerals, tools, machinery, elements and organic chemistry. Ure's Dictionary is a standard work in nineteenth-century history and remains invaluable as a record of this extraordinary period of industrial development. A monumental scholarly achievement, it will be valuable to anyone studying nineteenth-century commercial history, economics, Victorian studies, and the history of science and technology.
