Reading to Write: A Textbook of Advanced Chinese

Reading to Write: A Textbook of Advanced Chinese

Traditionally reading and writing are believed to be separate but related language processes and teachers follow the conventional wisdom of teaching in-depth reading with writing as a tag-on issue. Therefore there exists an increasingly urgent call for a well-rounded reading-writing curriculum and a theoretically-informed empirically-based student-centered advanced textbook that aims to develop the synergy between reading and writing. Reading to Write: A Textbook of Advanced Chinese is intended to fill this significant gap. It treats reading and writing as integrative parts and interactive skills in Chinese language teaching putting them hand-in-hand supplementing each other.

Export Dependence versus the New Protectionism Constraints on Trade Policy in the Industrial World

Export Dependence versus the New Protectionism Constraints on Trade Policy in the Industrial World

In an international political economy characterised both by constancy and change this study first published in 1996 links together one seemingly incongruous continuity in international trade relations with an increasingly dramatic development in the economies of industrial countries. On the one hand industrialised countries have become progressively dependent upon one another. On the other hand the liberal international trade regime has yet to falter. These two points are tied together by seeking to explain the maintenance of liberal trade relations in terms of the mutual economic dependence of industrial countries. In particular the study examines what may be a fundamental constraint on trade protectionism today: the reliance of industrialised countries on external trade relations and especially on markets within the industrial world. | Export Dependence versus the New Protectionism Constraints on Trade Policy in the Industrial World

How much of Donne’s poetry may be appropriately described as metaphysical as personal or autobiographical or as the expression of what has been called a unified sensibility?
