	Jagdish Bhagwati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jagdish Bhagwati (born 1934) is a prominent economist noted for his defense of free trade against the critics of globalization.
		Bhagwati has previously served as an external advisor to the Director General of the World Trade Organization in 2001, as a special policy advisor on globalization to the United Nations in 2000, and as an economics policy advisor to the Director-General of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade from 1991 to 1993.
		In 2000, Bhagwati was signatory to an amicus briefing, coordinated by the American Enterprise Institute, with Supreme Court to contend that the Environmental Protection Agency should, contrary to a prior ruling, be allowed to take into account the costs of regulations when setting environmental standards.

	Reason: Globalization Without Tears: An economist debates the NGOs. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Bhagwati’s analysis runs the risk of providing false comfort to developing countries that financial crises can be staved off by throwing sand in the wheels to slow the entry of short-term foreign capital and imposing capital controls to keep it from flowing out.
		Bhagwati also says we must "put in place institutional mechanisms to cope with the occasional downsides of globalization." He notes that in principle there’s no reason to single out trade as a cause of grief; he thinks all displaced workers should be supported through general, comprehensive schemes such as unemployment insurance and retraining programs.
		Bhagwati notes that Lori Wallach, a noted anti-globalizer, refused to release the list of contributors to an NGO with which she was associated, despite allegations that its anti-trade activities were funded by the protectionist textile magnate Roger Milliken.

	In Defense of Globalization - Jagdish Bhagwati
		Bhagwati shows a lot of interest in the role of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), and his repeated reminders about the differing interests, goals, and abilities of NGOs from developed countries versus those from developing nations is particularly valuable, as it introduces issues Western European and North American readers may not be familiar with.
		Bhagwati does do a quite good job of explaining why the labour consequences in developing countries -- questions of child labour, women in the workplace, wages, and unions -- must be seen in context, and not merely through Western eyes and standards.
		Bhagwati is also willing to acknowledge that there are certain sectors where, under the cover of the ideal of free trade, policies that aren't necessarily desirable or positive for poorer countries have been pushed on them -- intellectual property protection, for one.

		I tell this story partly because I've been reading Bhagwati's new book, "In Defense of Globalization." But the episode also sheds light on the oddity of last week's Indian election, or at least on the way it was greeted.
		Comparing Bhagwati's snapshot of India in the early 1960s with today's transformed country tells you something about globalization -- and about why Bhagwati, who's now an eminent professor at Columbia University and a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, feels the need to defend it.
		Bhagwati's new book offers other examples: He explains how globalization is good for women's rights, good at reducing child labor, good for the environment.

		Bhagwati divides his book into the major themes (the link of economic growth to poverty, of trade to the environment or labor rights, etc), and looks at what the various NGOs are saying against globalization.
		Bhagwati is cautious, for example, about uninhibited capital flows; he is also critical about the invasion of intellectual property rights into trade agreements; he is also suspicious of businesses that bribe politicians to alter trade agreements to their favor.
		Bhagwati is, of course, a strong proponent of free-market capitalism (even arguing persuasively that capitalism destroys privilege and inequality, while socialism produces it).

	International Economy, The: Jagdish Bhagwati, The Wind of the Hundred Days: How Washington Mismanaged Globalization. - ...
		Jagdish Bhagwati is a leading economist of international trade--many think the world's leader in the field--and also a public intellectual and evangelical free trader.
		Bhagwati disagrees at some length with the importance which David Landes attaches to culture, and in fact expresses "astonishment, anguish, and outrage" at two world-rank economists who worried about time spent in India debating questions like concessions to multinationals and whether Indians should drink Coca-cola, rather than on education, healthcare, and social inequalities.
		Bhagwati's support of multinational corporations is a switch on the arguments of decades ago, illustrated by successive books by Raymond Vernon: Sovereignty at Bay: The Multinational Spread of U. Enterprises (Basic Books, 1971) and Storm over Multinationals: The Real Issues (Harvard University Press, 1977).

	Daniel T. Griswold on Jagdish Bhagwati's In Defense of Globalization
		Bhagwati, a Columbia University economics professor and author of many books on trade, makes all the right economic arguments, but without the flurry of statistical correlations often used to make the case.
		Bhagwati has done his homework on the anti-globalization groups and what animates them: a discontented brew of anti-capitalism, anti-corporatism, and anti-Americanism.
		Bhagwati meets the critics head on by examining globalization's impact on children, women, the poor, democracy, labor rights, the environment, and culture.

		Jagdish says that there is no problem, but I am concerned that comparative advantage [theory] might be broken.

	Ralph Nader-Jagdish Bhagwati debate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Judging by the reaction of the packed audience in Statler Auditorium, about a third of whom gave Nader's impassioned closing statement a standing ovation, his view of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is the correct one.
		But his opponent in the debate, the highly respected Columbia University economist Jagdish Bhagwati, countered that much of Nader's argument was alarmist, often false and based on "cheap rhetoric." Free trade is a "moral cause" for the world's economy, Bhagwati argued, and an engine of prosperity for developing countries.
		Bhagwati argued that nations can continue to maintain high standards but will have to pay for them.

	Reply to Bhagwati
		The overwhelming majority of trade economists judge the gains from free trade to be significant, coming down somewhere between Paul Krugman's view that they are too small to be taken seriously [a misrepresentation of Krugman's position, by the way] and Jeffrey Sachs's view that they are huge and cannot be ignored.
		If there were no reasonable prospect of successfully managing international financial crises, then I would agree with Professor Bhagwati: the risks of an 1873 or a 1982 or--worst of all--a 1933 would then significantly outweigh the benefits of capital mobility.
		And it requires rejecting the arguments of Jagdish Bhagwati that international capital mobility--good enough to finance the industrialization of the NICs of Australia, Canada, and the U.S. a century ago--is too risky for the NICs of today.
