Advances in technology have spurred a new kind of 'trade' involving transfers of components and materials across borders but within firms. Trade in services, foreign direct investment and sales by affiliates of foreign-owed companies have grown more rapidly than trade in goods, making national rules and regulations more significant barriers to trade. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe effects of 'non-trade' policies on trade have engaged new actors in trade politics, not least in the European Union (EU). The emergence of a more active bloc of developing countries alongside a vibrant international civil society, including environmental and consumer groups and ministries, have made trade politics increasingly lively, complex, and challenging for the EU. Meanwhile, the World Trade Organization has become not only a primary focus for EU trade policy but also a lightning rod for protest, a powerful 'legaliser' of trade diplomacy, and an arena where it is often difficult, even impossible, to separate private from public interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe European Union and the New Trade Politics provides a state of the art analysis of how the EU shapes and is shaped by the 'new' trade politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was previously published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eThe Journal of European Public Policy.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Peterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415394910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415394918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"John Peterson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136081735935,"sku":"9780415394918","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6eba6440-46a2-4caf-8c72-459f82fd73d7.jpg?v=1770160388","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-european-union-and-the-john-peterson-9780415394918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
