Описание:
The financialization, globalization and industrialization of our food systems make it increasingly difficult to access quality fresh food. In fact, the industrialized global food system is creating products that are less food-like, engendering growing questions about the health and safety of our food supply. In addition, the bio-engineering of food commodities is another factor influencing the growth of industrial farming for an increasingly homogenized, globalized market.
This book describes the financialization process in commodity futures markets which transformed commodities into an asset class. Incorporated into the portfolio decisions of investors, commodity prices now behave like all asset prices, becoming more volatile and subject to periodic bubbles. As commodity prices were driven higher in the 2000s, farmland became more valuable, setting off a global land grab by investors, nations, and corporations. More recently, under the financialization food regime, slow growth and low returns encouraged merger activity driven by private equity firms, with food industry corporations as prime targets, leading to increased industry concentration.
With government policy focused on supporting corporate interests, there has been a global reaction to the current food system. The food sovereignty movement is taking on the interests behind the global land grab, and the regional food movement in cities across the U.S. is hitting corporations at the bottom line. Food corporations are listening. Is the food movement winning?
This book is of interest to those who study political economy, financialization and agriculture and related studies, as well as food systems and commodity future markets.

Описание: This book analyzes the political economy of higher education finance across a range of OECD countries, exploring why some students pay extortionate tuition fees whilst for others their education is free. What are the redistributional consequences of these different tuition-subsidy systems? Analysing the variety of existing systems, Garritzmann shows that across the advanced democracies “Four Worlds of Student Finance” exist. Historically, however, all countries’ higher education systems looked very much alike in the 1940s. The book develops a theoretical model, the Time-Sensitive Partisan Theory, to explain why countries have evolved from a similar historical starting point to today’s very distinct Four Worlds. The empirical analyses combine a wide variety of qualitative and quantitative evidence, studying higher education policies in all advanced democracies from 1945-2015.

Описание:
Export Credit Agencies provide export credit insurance facilities to reduce the risk of nonpayment on exports incurred by domestic export industries by providing loans to foreign governments. Most countries have Export Credit Agencies that operate as official or quasi-official branches of their governments and they therefore represent an important part of government strategies to facilitate trade, promote domestic industry and distribute foreign aid.
This book explains the politics and economics of trade finance through an analysis of the role of Export Credit Agencies. It provides a detailed analysis of how firms use Export Credit Agencies to export goods to developing countries and how Export Credit Agency debt has contributed to the debt of developing countries. The book also illustrates how the commercial interests of Export Credit Agencies are represented in decisions about the structure and repayments of IMF loans. These decisions are related to debt rescheduling through the Paris Club an informal group of creditor countries that provide debt treatments to debtor countries that are no longer able to meet their debt obligations. Finally, the book also explores how the OECD countries in particular changed the rules of their Export Credit Agencies in order to supplement private sector finance during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. This was done to facilitate exports from their countries, thus demonstrating that states still have an important role to play in supporting their national economies. "
