Exporting Environmentalism: U.S. Multinational Chemical Corporations in Brazil and Mexico (Global Environmental Accord: Strategies for Sustainability and Institutional Innovation)

Ronie Garcia-Johnson


Exporting Environmentalism: U.S. Multinational Chemical Corporations in Brazil and Mexico (Global Environmental Accord: Strategies for Sustainability and Institutional Innovation) Ronie Garcia-Johnson A great deal of research has focused on the role of governments, nongovernmental organizations, and advocacy groups in promoting environmental ideologies. Researchers and activists have generally assumed antienvironmental and antiregulatory stances on the part of corporations. Exporting Environmentalism is the first book to examine industry's transnational promotion of environmental ideas and practices. The book also challenges and complements other theoretical approaches to the study of international environmental politics. Rather than positing change in national and international environmental policy as the only valuable outcome, it looks at the environmental benefits of changes in perspectives, policies, and practices within the firms themselves. Ronie Garcia-Johnson shows that multinational corporations have incentives to raise the environmental, health, and safety standards of domestic companies in their host countries to maintain their competitive advantage.

A Certain Idea of Europe (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)

Craig Parsons


A Certain Idea of Europe (Cornell Studies in Political Economy) Craig Parsons The quasi-federal European Union stands out as the major exception in the thinly institutionalized world of international politics. Something has led Europeans?and only Europeans?beyond the nation-state to a fundamentally new political architecture. Craig Parsons argues in A Certain Idea of Europe that this The quasi-federal European Union stands out as the major exception in the thinly institutionalized world of international politics. Something has led Europeans?and only Europeans?beyond the nation-state to a fundamentally new political architecture. Craig Parsons argues in A Certain Idea of Europe that this "something" was a particular set of ideas generated in Western Europe after the Second World War. In Parsons?s view, today?s European Union reflects the ideological (and perhaps visionary) project of an elite minority. His book traces the progressive victory of this project in France, where the battle over European institutions erupted most divisively. Drawing on archival research and extensive interviews with French policymakers, the author carefully traces a fifty-year conflict between radically different European plans. Only through aggressive leadership did the advocates of a supranational "community" Europe succeed at building the EU and binding their......

Microfoundations of Financial Economics: An Introducation to General Equilibrium Asset Pricing (Princeton Series in Finance)

Yvan Lengwiler


Microfoundations of Financial Economics: An Introducation to General Equilibrium Asset Pricing (Princeton Series in Finance) Yvan Lengwiler This textbook takes the reader from the level of microeconomics principles through to modern asset pricing theory. Yvan Lengwiler elegantly links together issues that have in the past been the territory of general economic theorists on the one hand, and financial economists on the other. In a sequence of carefully explained steps, the reader learns how the first welfare theorem is used in asset pricing theory. The book then moves on to explore Radner economies and von Neumann-Morgenstern decision theory, and this section culminates in Wilson's mutuality principle and the consumption-based CAPM. This is then put into a dynamic setting, and term structure models are introduced. The empirical shortcomings of the standard asset pricing models are extensively discussed, as is research from the last twenty years aimed at bringing theory in line with reality. The reader is brought up to date on the latest areas of concern, such as habit formation, the consequences of heterogeneity,... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин This textbook takes the reader from the level of microeconomics principles through to modern asset pricing theory.
