Political Economy and International Economics Jagdish Bhagwati Edited by Douglas A. Irwin Political Economy and International Economics is the fifth volume of collected essays by the noted economist Jagdish Bhagwati. Following Essays in International Economic Theory (edited by Robert Feenstra) and Essays in Development Economics (edited by Gene Grossman), it reflects Bhagwati's wide range of interests and his rare ability to combine economic theory and political analysis. Many of Bhagwati's writings provide fresh insights into old problems, from the theory of commercial policy, to foreign investment and labor migration; others open up new areas such as services to analysis. Recent work on the theory of political economy, including DUP (directly unproductive profit-seeking) activities and quid pro quo direct investment, breaks new ground. Also included are a number of previously inaccessible lectures covering such important issues as poverty and public policy. Cutting across several fields of economics, including public finance and development, these provide masterly syntheses and overviews of broader issues. About the Author Douglas A. Irwin is Professor of Economics and Robert E. Maxwell ’23 Professor of Arts and Sciences at Dartmouth College. Jagdish Bhagwati is University Professor at Columbia University and External Advisor to the Director General, World Trade Organization. He was named Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association in 2003.
