The research project leading to this book was initiated in the fall of 1979 when the American Council of Life Insurance (ACLI) contacted Dan McGill, chairman of the Wharton School Insurance Department, about conducting a study on risk classification in life insurance. The ACLI was concerned about legislative and judicial activity in this area and its potential effects on the life insurance industry. A meeting was held at the ACLI offices in Washington, D.C., between several members of the ACLI staff and Dan McGill and David Cummins representing the Wharton School insurance department. An agreement was reached that a study would be conducted at Wharton dealing with issues in risk classification. Although the staff of the ACLI suggested directions the study might take, it was agreed that the design and execution of the study would be solely under the control of the researchers. The researchers also retained unrestricted publication rights in the results of the study. This agreement has been honored by the ACLI during the course of the project.

The "free trade" system American leaders promoted after World War II set the stage for the greatest boom in world commerce and production in recent history. Yet the main goal of the U.S. sponsored reform and reconstruction of the world economy, Robert Pollard shows, was to enhance U.S. security by binding together the major industrial powers. This interdependence, begun in the 1940;s, has served as the foundation of the Western alliance to this day.

The U.S. national security export controls system--which was instituted to impede Soviet acquisition of high technology from the West--is both necessary and appropriate. Balancing the National Interest provides a thorough analysis of this controls system, examining the current system of laws, regulations, international agreements, and organizations that control the international transfer of technology through industrial channels.

The roots of Japan's aggressive, expansionist foreign policy have often been traced to its concern over acute economic vulnerability. Historian Michael Barnhart tests this assumption by examining the events leading up to World War II in the context of Japan's quest for economic security. Drawing on a wide array of Japanese and American sources, this is the first English-language book on the war's origins to be based on research in archives on both sides of the Pacific. Barnhart focuses on the critical years from 1938 to 1941 as he investigates the development of Japan's drive for national economic self-sufficiency and independence and the way in which this drive shaped its internal and external policies. He also explores American economic pressure on Tokyo and assesses its impact on Japan's foreign policy and domestic economy. He concludes that Japan's internal political dynamics, especially the bitter rivalry between its army and navy, played a far greater role in propelling the nation into war with the United States than did its economic condition or even pressure from Washington.Japan Prepares for Total War sheds new light on prewar Japan and confirms the opinions of those in Washington who advocated economic pressure against Japan. At a time of growing interest in U.S.-Japanese economic relations, this book will be stimulating and provocative reading for scholars and students of international relations and American and Asian history.

The end of the Cold War has shifted attention from military threats to other things that might negatively affect the people of the United States.

New developments in the securities markets, particularly in the areas of technology, financial products, and foreign securities markets, are challenging the Securities and Exchange Commission to reconsider its regulatory policies. As the SEC deliberates, a growing body of literature is becoming available that offers practical assistance and valuable perspective to policymakers. Modernizing U.S. Securities Regulations presents a diverse collection of essays by such experts as William J. Baumol, Burton G. Malkiel, Clifford W. Smith, Jr., John Pound, and many others, on the top SEC policy issues under discussion today.Beginning with suggestions from former SEC Commissioners - Joseph A. Grundfest and Edward H. Fleischman - on how the SEC could improve its modus operandi, this expansive collection also covers disclosure and accounting, market structure and performance, corporate control and governance, mutual fund regulation, trading foreign securities in U.S. markets, and much more.The 39 essays presented here illustrate how advances in economics, finance, accounting, and law can be used to analyze the thorny policy issues that will challenge the next SEC. The authors, leading contributors to the burgeoning body of academic literature on securities markets, demonstrate how scholarly research can help the SEC frame issues and establish objective criteria for evaluating the efficacy of different policies.

Governments have at their disposal many economic instruments to promote national security, such as sanctions, foreign aid, international trade, international finance and laws blocking funds for international terrorism.
