تجارت و مالیات جنوب-جنوب در قرن بیست و یکم: ظهور جنوب یا انحراف بزرگ دوم

The last two-three decades have seen a dramatic rise in SouthSouth economic relations, yet no book exists that systematically examines these changes in the global economy. Most studies on SouthSouth relations focus on regionalism, that is regional integration in South America, preferential trading agreements, or ChinaAfrica relations. While studies/books on SouthSouth trade existed in the 1970s and 1980s, the new round of SouthSouth linkages has not been covered. In addition to filling this gap, this book also includes a historical, theoretical, and empirical examination that attempts to both place current SouthSouth relations within their historical trajectory and examine in what ways current SouthSouth relations differ from previous attempts (new-regionalism), especially that most of the previous discussions took place under the Import Substitution Industrialization or relatively protectionist era. The book contains rigorous empirical analysis of trade and finance to uncover the developmental implications of SouthSouth trade and finance. Finally, the book engages with the burgeoning new-developmentalism to discuss how SouthSouth economic integration and the rise of the South as an economic power and as an actor in multinational institutions both benefits and harms the developmental opportunities for poor and middle income South countries. This book is a contribution to the international trade and economic development literature and is based on a decade of joint research and collaboration on South–South economic relations. Given the increasing focus on the economic power of some developing countries, for example the 2013 Human Development Report’s “Rise of the South”, it is particularly appropriate and timely. [NP] The book’s findings are based on rigorous empirical examination of South–South trade and finance and it provides an even-handed assessment from the perspective of long-term development goals rather than mainstream welfare approaches or ideological/theoretical worldview. [NP] This work directly engages with the ‘new developmentalism’ literature that has challenged the neoliberal orthodoxy and its policy approach, which focuses on liberalization, privatization, and deregulation. It also engages with literature by examining whether the increase in South–South trade facilitates or inhibits the possibilities for developmentalist economic policy in developing countries. The book shows concrete and positive results from South–South trade particularly related to industrial development and also documents how South–South trade is dominated by large developing countries and that South–South trade liberalization may be counterproductive.
