Expanding The P-4 Trade Agreement Into A Broader Trans-Pacific Partnership: Implications, Risks And Opportunities, Meredith Kolsky Lewis Sep 2009

Expanding The P-4 Trade Agreement Into A Broader Trans-Pacific Partnership: Implications, Risks And Opportunities, Meredith Kolsky Lewis

Journal Articles

In 2005, New Zealand, Singapore, Chile and Brunei entered into a path-breaking free trade agreement, the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement which is also known as the P-4 Agreement. The agreement contains an open accession provision which explicitly contemplates the expansion of the agreement to include other countries willing to commit to its terms. The expansion of the agreement has important implications for the world trading system. Its broad coverage and open accession provision may suggest that the agreement has the potential to serve as a stepping stone in the path towards further multilateral trade liberalization in the WTO context. …

Suffrage And The Terms Of Labor, Robert J. Steinfeld

Contributions to Books

Published as Chapter 9 in Human Capital and Institutions: A Long Run View, David Eltis, Frank D. Lewis & Kenneth L. Sokoloff, eds.

Great books often harbor deep tensions, which are one source of their enduring power. Time on the Cross by Robert Fogel and Stanley Engerman is a good example (Fogel and Engerman 1974). On the one hand, Time on the Cross argued that the economic science of Cliometrics was indispensable for a proper understanding of the past. Human beings have always been primarily motivated by the desire for gain, and to understand their behavior it is essential to …


An Apology For A Pathological Brute (Reviewing Tim Jeal, Stanley: The Impossible Life Of Africa's Greatest Explorer (2007)), Makau Wa Mutua Aug 2009

An Apology For A Pathological Brute (Reviewing Tim Jeal, Stanley: The Impossible Life Of Africa's Greatest Explorer (2007)), Makau Wa Mutua

Book Reviews

This is a review of Tom Jeal’s Stanley: the Impossible Life of Africa’s Greatest Explorer. Although perhaps the most carefully researched of the many books of Stanley, the book suffers from its zealous attempt to absolve Stanley of his inhumanity in spite of the most extensive historical evidence of the abominations that he committed against Africans. Instead, Jeal sets out to humanize a historical monster who paved the way for many pogroms committed by the colonial hegemons in Africa. Even deep flaws of character, including self-denial, that were so evident in Stanley are either explained away or excused. The book …


Razing The Citizen: Economic Inequality, Gender, And Marriage Tax Reform, Martha T. Mccluskey Jul 2009

Razing The Citizen: Economic Inequality, Gender, And Marriage Tax Reform, Martha T. Mccluskey

Contributions to Books

Published as Chapter 12 in Gender Equality: Dimensions of Women's Equal Citizenship, Linda C. McClain & Joanna L. Grossman, eds.

This chapter links the failure of U.S. social citizenship ideals to a broader weakness in U.S. ideas citizenship. To better advance policies of economic equality, U.S. law and politics needs a stronger vision not just of economic equality, but of gender equality and of democracy in general. Feminist scholars have analyzed how ideas about gender help shape the common assumption that the costs of raising and sustaining capable, productive citizens are largely private family responsibilities. But ideas about gender also …

Contributions to Books

Published as Chapter 8 in Conducting Law and Society Research: Reflections on Methods and Practice, Simon Halliday & Patrick Schmidt, eds.

Understanding litigiousness involves many perspectives on how societies generate, shape, and process disputes. Whereas some may begin the study of disputing with the law and the formal institutions charged with implementing it, or what happens “in court,” a long tradition of Law and Society scholarship has emphasized the importance of seeing how cultural practices give life and meaning to the law. Though some of this scholarship has come from anthropology, much of it has been produced by scholars from …
