Nations are facing a global jobs crisis. Unemployment is rising rapidly, and is expected to reach 230 million people worldwide this year. They may be headed for a vast prolonged and severe jobs crisis. Just as policy-markets have taken and swift action to respond to the financial and economic downturn, similar bold action is required to address the jobs crisis. First, jobs and social protection must become the bedrock of crisis responses. Second, the response must be coordinated and global. All countries must join in making employment and social protection a centerpiece of their crisis responses. Third, there was a crisis before this crisis and they cannot just aim to go back to business as usual. In restoring confidence, they must focus on building peoples trust in progress towards a n...

The traditional notion among trade economists is that governments perceive imports to be detrimental and accept them only in exchange for foreign market access. In contrast, the results of a survey of the national missions at the WTO presented in this article indicate that governments see substantial benefits in domestic trade liberalization. For most governments, these benefits approximately balance the associated costs. Countries appear to complain about being forced to open markets for political rather than economic reasons.

Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, managed to erase "free and undistorted competition" from the proposed new EU Treaty as a main aim of the European Union. Afterwards, he asked rhetorically what competition has done for Europe. This article is an attempt to reply to that very important question. The view of competition and its effects among decision-makers is likely to affect numerous policy outcomes. Throughout history, there has been a struggle between freedom and control in Europe. Competition is the result of economic freedom and the absence of interventions in the economy by the state. And it has done very much indeed for Europe. It may be the single most important reason why the average income in Western Europe is 14 times higher today than in 1820. If anything, Europe needs mo...

In everyday conversations, people express their worries about unemployment and inequality, about the brain drain and immigration, about civil conflict or environmental damage. What many people do not know is that international trade can be part of the solution. In countries where opportunities for development are scarce, trade matters even more in the fight against poverty. Without wider public support and understanding of international trade and development issues, it will be hard for initiatives to succeed. People who could speak out about the benefits of trade have neither done it well nor gone beyond limited circles. Trade can be a complex issue to explain. Leaders in trade, development and finance in least developed countries do not always communicate properly with each other, for ...
