Global economic integration has taken place as the consequence of reciprocal trade liberalization, financial capital movements and international direct investment, more open immigration policies in richer countries, as well as enhanced international communication. The ten papers in this volume study political-economy aspects of policies induced by globalization: while there have been efficiency gains, the resolution of the associated domestic income- redistribution consequences of globalization has in general involved political processes. The papers are divided into two groups, with the first group being concerned with issues of trade policy and the second considering policies with regard to immigration, the environment, foreign aid, and competition.
