Le débat «　libéralisme / protectionnisme　» retrouve aujourd'hui tout son intérêt dans plusieurs domaines, tels la politique commerciale, le droit de la concurrence, les aides étatiques, la protection des travailleurs ou encore la politique de l'immigration. Le libéralisme associé au libre-échange, qui paraissait être une politique incontestable, soutenue par la plupart des économistes, s'est retrouvé la cible de nombreuses critiques. Le protectionnisme, de son côté, couplé à une politique mercantiliste, est apparu dans un certain nombre de pays comme une stratégie efficace pour assurer le développement économique. La compétitivité des grandes économies a semblé dépendre de l'ouverture sélective au commerce et aux investissements internationaux　: c'est le cas des États-Unis, de la Chine, mais également d'autres pays d'Asie, et parfois même de l'Europe. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage remettent en cause la vision univoque et simpliste du protectionnisme et des politiques mercantilistes. La discussion est particulièrement focalisée sur la validité universelle du libre-échange et des origines historiques du protectionnisme ainsi que sur les théories économiques et des politiques étatiques menées du XVIe au XXIe siècle. Ils s'intéressent aussi bien à l'économie qu'à la logique de puissance et de renforcement de l'État.

Providing the first book-length analysis of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), this volume asks how can it be ensured that the AfCFTA is effectively implemented to deliver inclusive trade in Africa. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will cover an African market of 1.2 billion people and GDP of over $2.5 trillion, across all 55 member States of the African Union. Yet, trade policy increasingly appreciates that free trade is not enough; trade must also be inclusive to deliver developmental benefits. With contributions from leading trade policy authors across Africa and beyond, this book offers insights into the development and implementation of the AfCFTA and serves as a reference for stakeholders interested in trade in Africa more broadly. The contributors assess what important lessons can be drawn from the experiences of regional integration in and beyond Africa, including from success stories like ASEAN as well as from failures like the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas. An important new work for researchers and policymakers focusing on African trade and economic policy, and trade policy more generally.

This book looks at the debates on global value chains (GVCs) and free trade agreements (FTAs) as springboards for industrial development in developing countries, especially India. It connects the outcomes in GVC-led industrial restructuring and upgrading to industrial policy choices in trade and FDI liberalisation, in particular those through FTAs. With the share of manufacturing in GDP stagnant at around 15-16% since the 1980s, India's policymakers have pinned their hopes on greater integration into GVCs to revitalise the manufacturing sector. The multiple FTAs the country has signed over the last few years, specifically the ones with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), South Korea, Malaysia and Japan have been sought to be rationalised using the same argument. The book argues that failing to factor in the industrial policy causalities involved in sustainable indigenous technology development, structural barriers to the entry into GVCs, the assessments of the available evidence on the adverse impact oftrade andFDI liberalisation as well asexistingFTAson firm-level incentives for undertaking domestic production, and the industrial policy constraints imposed by FTAs can prove costly for the trajectories of developing country economies, including India. Rich in data, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of development economics, economics in general, development studies and public policy as well as government bodies, industry experts and policymakers.
