The interdisciplinary field of economics and religion has come a long way since 2003 when Edward Elgar published the pioneering volume Economics and Religion. The influence of religious ideas on the birth of economics as a discipline and its rise to cultural dominance is now widely recognized. The largely Protestant discussion has been enriched by Roman Catholic contributions stimulated by recent Papal Encyclicals. The economics of religion has now matured into a respectable subfield of economics and articles on religion regularly appear in top economics journals. This original and insightful research review places the most recent contributions in context and will be an invaluable resource for scholars and academics alike.
In recent decades, the international economy has witnessed profound changes. International Trade and the New Global Economy discusses key papers on leading research into the links between these changes and international trade. The seminal papers explored in this research review are written by an outstanding set of distinguished economists and political scientists who address the proliferation of preferential trade agreements, the effects of the Great Recession on trade, and mass attitudes about trade and globalization.
