Description of Research

Summary Statement of Research Interests

Professor Aronson studies international political economy with special attention to trade negotiations, trade in services, comparative regulation, international strategic alliances and international telecommunications. His most recent book, Managing the World Economy: The Consequences of Corporate Alliances, considers how changes in the way the world economy works will force governments to find new ways to conduct their international economic relations after the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations. He also studies how the globalization of telecommunications networks is influenced by intellectual property, standard setting, and competition policy issues and the implications of these changes for regulation, privacy and the digital divide.
