Free trade promotes economic growth through international competition and the efficient allocation of resources while also helping to stabilize food supplies between countries that have an overabundance of product and countries that have a shortage. However, sudden price surges can threaten the social cohesion of developing countries and may lead to malnutrition and stunted growth. Balancing trade liberalization and protectionism is imperative for the provision of food security for all.The Handbook of Research on Globalized Agricultural Trade and New Challenges for Food Security is an essential publication that seeks to improve food security, food independence, and food sovereignty in the conditions of globalized agricultural trade and addresses the contemporary issues of agricultural trade including major commodities and food products traded between major countries, directions of trade, and trends. The book also examines the effects of tariff escalations, administrative restrictions, other forms of trade protectionism on food security, and the emerging trade tensions between major actors such as the US, China, the EU, and Russia. Featuring research on topics including plant fertility, dietary diversity, and protectionism, this book is ideally designed for government officials, policymakers, agribusiness managers, stakeholders, international tradesmen, researchers, industry professionals, academicians, and students.

In this new book, Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Development: A Global Perspective, the authors present innovative approaches to a new interpretation of sustainable development concepts in light of the post-pandemic revival of global economic activity. It also explores possible solutions to the energy-environment-development trilemma.The book addresses the effects of tariff escalations, administrative restrictions, and other forms of trade protectionism on global supply chains. Ultimately, the authors probe into many choices that link national, regional, and global policies extensively with the provision of sustainable supply, welfare, and economic growth through international cooperation in the new era of post-COVID global economy.The volume first introduces and highlights inclusive and sustainable economic developmental issues and challenges and reviews the various economic theories and growth models that have identified the principles that govern various aspects of economic development. The authors lay out the various theories and models of growth and development and poverty and economic inequality, such as Rostow, Harrod-Domar, Robinson, Nurksian, and many others.The book proceeds on to explanations of development policies and practices, such as industrial policy reforms and labor reform laws, agricultural policies and farm laws, corporatization and marketization of agriculture, government financial resources and foreign direct investment, regional and international trade blocks, foreign capital and multinational corporations, infrastructural development, and more. It also discusses some of the obstacles to economic development, such as poverty, unemployment, income inequality, inadequate healthcare and illiteracy, food insecurity, environmental degradation, and related issues.The authors then explore global economic issues and their solutions covering international trade, globalization, and regrouping of regional economic unions, looking at globalization and how it has impacted international trade and what measures developing countries have taken and can take in the future to adapt to the exigencies of the pandemic-related impacts on the global economy. The authors study previous global economic and financial crises, probe into the effect of globalization on social welfare, and see how contemporary development models in particular countries could be adapted to the new normal of the post-COVID world.This 500+ page book will prove valuable and insightful for government officials, policymakers, and global businesses in many countries, describing, as it does, contemporary issues of economic development in a systemic manner that makes the narrative analytical and comprehensive so that it may easily be accessible to a broader audience, including students studying economic development.

The 21st century is witnessing an unprecedented convergence of transformative technologies that promise to reshape global energy systems, governance, and societal well-being. Among these, Public Interest Technology (PIT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Fusion Energy stand out as critical domains with the potential to drive sustainable development, economic growth, and equitable progress.This book explores the concepts of PIT, AI, and Fusion, in ten chapters. It begins by tracing the evolution of PIT, emphasizing its role in addressing global challenges through socio-technical frameworks. Key themes include the ethical and practical challenges of PIT, such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and funding barriers, as well as its potential to drive equitable solutions. The importance of stakeholder inclusion, particularly from the Global South, and frameworks to manage uncertainties in technology investments are highlighted. Case studies illustrate successful PIT implementations, such as AI-driven sustainability projects and fusion energy initiatives, while underscoring the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and adaptive governance. The later chapters focus on fusion energy as a PIT advocating for open science, international cooperation, and flexible investment strategies to overcome technical and financial hurdles. In these chapters, ideas that fusion energy, if developed inclusively, could revolutionize global energy systems and combat climate change are discussed, and governance models, such as international commissions and public-private partnerships, to ensure equitable access and ethical development are proposed. Similarly, discussions on AI stress its dual potential to either exacerbate inequality or democratize opportunities, depending on policy and implementation.

This book is a pivotal publication that seeks to improve food security in the conditions of escalating protectionism in global agricultural trade. The authors argue that global trade systems have been increasingly distorted by emerging trade tensions between major actors such as the US, China, the EU, and Russia, as well as trade policies in many other countries. In view of the most recent disruption of global food supply chains due to the outbreak of the COVID-19, the book examines the effects of administrative restrictions, tariff escalations, and other forms of protectionism on food security.Over the decades, food security concerns have been emerging, along with the growth of the world population. More than two billion most impoverished people in the world spent up to 70% of their disposable income on food. In 2020, the running pandemic has unraveled accumulated problems. As many countries rely on agricultural imports, lockdowns and disrupted food production and supply chains tremendously threaten food security of those nations. Agricultural trade was already slowing in 2019 before the virus struck, weighed down by trade tensions, and decelerating economic growth. The spread of the virus and strict quarantine measures trigger economic decline that results in food prices rises and volatilities. Due to the pandemic, nearly all regions will suffer double-digit decline in trade volumes 2020.The virus will be defeated, but the effects of the protectionism outbreak would have a much longer-lasting impact on agricultural production, international supply chains, and food security worldwide. In this publication, the authors probe into many of the choices that link national, regional, and global policies extensively with the provision of food security for all in the new era of post-virus global trade. Since studying global agricultural trade has a multinational application, its outcomes might be shared with a broad international network of stakeholders, including research institutions, universities, and individual researches. The book is appropriate for government officials, policymakers, and businesses of many countries. Adaptation of research outcomes and solutions to the situation in particular countries and various collaboration formats will let to increase the visibility of the publication and to elaborate new practices and solutions in the sphere of establishing sustainable food security.

This book covers a lot of ground in contemporary macroeconomics, from fundamental theories such as market structures and equilibrium to emerging concepts that reflect the most critical challenges of modern times, including economic slowdowns, the resilience of public health systems, digitalization, environmental footprints, and many more. The COVID-19 outbreak has aggravated the recurrent problems of poverty and income inequality between countries, food insecurity and hunger, unemployment, and social disorders that have resulted in the exacerbation of political, economic, and trade tensions between countries. In view of the damaging consequences of the pandemic for the entire global economy, the book examines how existing macroeconomic tools and policies could be adapted to the new normal to ensure sustainable post-pandemic development and growth.The main text is interspersed with real-life illustrations and cases that demonstrate practical implications of the concepts under study. This makes the reading relevant and active. Every chapter starts with learning objectives and ends with a series of questions and quizzes that enable easier reinforcement of the course content. This book is written mainly for students, but it would be much useful to the broader public audience, including postgraduates, researchers, and business people who will be able to learn all recent updates about macroeconomics and the post-pandemic perspectives of the global economy.
