Into the Maelstrom: Music, Improvisation and the Dream of Freedom, Volume 1
No full textInto the Maelstrom examines in two volumes the history, practice and context of musical improvisation, notably the post-1959 ‘school’ known as free improvisation. The source material includes primary research through face to face interviews, alongside systematic study of archive materials (personal, private and institutional), published and unpublished literature and interviews, film, audio recordings, photographs, magazine articles and personal experience. The intention is that it should function as a history, source book, theoretical overview and research companion for the theory and practice of improvised music
An Impact Study of the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) in the Six ACP Regions
No full textThis article intends to present a very detailed analysis of the trade-related aspects of Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) negotiations. We use a dynamic partial equilibrium model – focusing on the demand side – at the HS6 level (covering 5,113 HS6 products). Two alternative lists of sensitive products are constructed, one giving priority to the agricultural sectors, the other focusing on tariff revenue preservation. In order to be WTO compatible, EPAs must translate into 90 percent of bilateral trade fully liberalised. We use this criterion to simulate EPAs for each negotiating regional block. ACP exports to the EU are forecast to be 10 percent higher with the EPAs than under the GSP/EBA option. On average ACP countries are forecast to lose 70 percent of tariff revenues on EU imports in the long run. Yet imports from other regions of the world will continue to provide tariff revenues. Thus when tariff revenue losses are computed on total ACP imports, losses are limited to 26 percent on average in the long run and even 19 percent when the product lists are optimised. The final impact on the economy depends on the importance of tariffs in government revenue and on potential compensatory effects. However this long term and less visible effect will mainly depend on the capacity of each ACP country to reorganise its fiscal base.Preferential Trade Agreements, Africa, EPAs, Partial Equilibrium Simulations, International Relations/Trade,
