The Institute of Economic Affairs is a UK-based think tank generally associated with the promotion of free-market policies and ideas. This volume collects 27 papers from the publishing program of the Institute on the topic of globalization and trade. Largely published in the 1990s and 2000s (although the earliest paper is from 1969), the papers provide a sense of the general program of the Institute by addressing a broad range of issues, including protectionism and market failure, African trade policies, the role of the World Bank in global trade, trade and the environment, capital controls, migration and globalization, civil society and governance, regulation of child labor, development and wireless technologies, and free trade agreements in Asia.
