From the Editor:

 

Volume 25, Number 4
September-October 2011

Dear Readers,

 

It  is  our  pleasure  to  bring  to  you  once  again  another  set of outstanding articles  on international trade  – broadly  defined. The scope and thrust  of International Trade Journal  has undergone steady  and  gradual  shift,  away  from heavy  quantification and strict  economic analysis toward  a broader  interpretation of trade  in the tradition  of political  economy.  This change  in tone is a reflection of changes in the disciplines  that  underlie “trade,” as  well  as  the  evolving  character of Texas  A&M International University that  is the Journal’s academic  and intellectual home. The  well  established  PhD  program   in  International  Business Administration and  an  Editorial  Advisory   Board  whose  intellectual  orientation  is wide ranging yet complementary are two of the underlying  reasons  for this subtle  realignment.

 

In that spirit, and with continued emphasis on rigor and quality,  we bring  you  four  articles  that  characterize the  scope  and span  of the  journal.  The first,  by  Rolf J.  Langhammer,  poses the  question  “Does  international trade  catch  up  with  national trade  of countries?”, provides  the answer, “yes,” and proceeds to elaborate and amplify.  It is an intuitive and simple truism  that nations  find it easier  to trade  within  rather  than  outside  their boundaries.  But  what  is the  relationship  between  internal  and international trade? Is there a diference attributable to the size of the economy, or the geographic  proximity of trading  partners? What  about  “country similarity” conditions,  or  relative levels of development? Langhammer  explores  these  and other  factors, such as the diferentials  in carbon  emissions (a subject  explored by Gary Hufbauer and Meera Fickling in issue 3, pp. 276–304 of

this volume).
