| Summary/Abstract |
The free public elementary school is closer to ten-year-old Rita's home than the factory where she works ten-hour days instead of getting an education. Rita lives in Bawana, a slum on the northern edge of New Delhi that is home to more than one hundred thousand impoverished residents. In an effort to showcase a prosperous country to a global audience during the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the Indian government displaced thousands of poor people from their makeshift homes in the capital city's center to Bawana. In exchange, they were all promised access to good paying manufacturing jobs in the nearby factories through which they could lift themselves out of poverty and create a better life for their children.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper decomposes the growth of China's export into three parts: growth in extensive margin, increased quantity and increased prices; we perform a series of empirical analyses using China's export data at the HS-6 digit level to analyze the characteristics of China's export growth. China's export growth depends more and more on price increases, less and less on quantity expansion. Compared with the rest of world, China's export price is in the process of improving, not at an increasing speed but at a declining pace. China's export performance is better than the rest of the world after the financial crisis and in 2008-2010. This reflects a strategy of lowering price and promoting sales in 2009 when facing a slump in export markets; and resuming price increases and increasing sales moderately in reaction to improving export conditions in 2010.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores the adjustment of wage bargaining institutions to international trade in Germany. Embracing IPE as opposed to CPE lenses yields a novel interpretation of change in the institution of wage bargaining. Export dependence of a sector, we argue, has destabilizing effects for industry-wide bargaining by sparking an intra-sectoral cleavage between domestic- and export-oriented enterprises. Specifically, the greater the degree of export dependence of a sector, the greater the degree to which domestic-oriented enterprises within that sector will abandon collective bargaining. We also explain how workplace employee representation through works councils mitigates this effect, such that the presence of works councils helps domestically oriented firms to hold to collective bargaining agreements in the face of a sector's deepening exposure to export markets. These claims find empirical support in the history of labor relations developments in the metal industry and, especially, in extensive analysis of a cross-section of establishments. Our findings attribute major responsibility to the firms driving globalization for undermining collective bargaining institutions and suggest that economic globalization is a cause of dualization. In all, the article provides fresh ammunition for a version of globalization-induced institutional convergence. [Correction added after online publication on May 28, 2014: "conversion" changed to "convergence" in preceding sentence.]

| Summary/Abstract |
Although trade liberalisation measures are in place for eight years, intraregional trade in South Asia has been meagre and is not encouraging at all as Bangladesh's export market in the region. India also granted duty free quota free access to almost all traded Bangladeshi products, which is also not showing significant increase in Bangladesh's export to reduce the country's mounting trade deficit with India. Therefore, overwhelming presence of non-tariff barriers has been perceived to be resulted in intra-regional trade significantly lower than expected. Given this context, the paper tries to identify the non-tariff barriers in South Asia in the context of Bangladesh's export expansion in this region. It takes a few product-specific cases in both export and import of Bangladesh to examine the barriers prevailing in neighbouring countries, viz. India, Nepal and Bhutan. The paper reveals that such barriers are related to bonded warehouse, gate pass, shipment and customs, infrastructure in land customs stations, visa, speed money, and excessive checking, which have been suggested to constrain expected gains from regional trade liberalisation measures. The paper argues that India's countervailing duty on garments import has not impacted negatively on Bangladesh's exports, but there is scope for further improvement if the duty is set equally for Indian and foreign manufacturers.
