The essays are characterized by a blend of rigorous academic analysis and engaging prose that invites readers to reflect on the moral ambiguities inherent in border-crossing practices.

The contributing authors, a diverse group of scholars and experts in their respective fields, bring a wealth of knowledge and personal experience that informs their perspectives. Many have embarked on research journeys influenced by regions heavily impacted by smuggling activities, whether due to geopolitical tensions, economic disparity, or cultural exchanges. Their collective experiences lend authenticity and depth to the essays, illuminating the complex motivations behind smuggling and its wider ramifications. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of law, ethics, and economic behavior. "Smuggling and Other Essays" provides an enlightening exploration of underworld dynamics, serving not only as an academic resource but also as a thought-provoking commentary on contemporary global issues.

    Awkwardness - A Theory

    Awkwardness offers an account of the psychology and philosophical significance of a ubiquitous social phenomenon. Our aversion to awkwardness mirrors our desire for inclusion. This explains its power to influence and silence us: as social creatures, we don't want to mark ourselves as outsiders. As a result, our fear of awkwardness inhibits critique and conversation, acting as an impediment to moral and social progress. Even the act of describing people as "awkward" exacerbates existing inequities, by consigning them to a social status that gives them less access to the social goods (knowledge, confidence, social esteem) needed to navigate potentially awkward situations. 
     
     
     
    Awkwardness discusses how we ostracize and punish those who fail to fit into existing social categories; how we all depend on—and are limited by—social scripts and norms for guidance; and how these norms frequently let us down when we need them. But awkwardness has a positive side: it can highlight opportunities for moral and social improvement, by revealing areas where our social norms and scripts fail to meet our needs or have yet to catch up with changing social and moral realities. Awkwardness ultimately underscores the conflict between our moral motivations and our desire for social approval and conformity.

    A case for why regionalization, not globalization, has been the biggest economic trend of the past forty years 
     
     
     
    The conventional wisdom about globalization is wrong. Over the past forty years as companies, money, ideas, and people went abroad more often than not, they looked regional rather than globally. O'Neil details this transformation and the rise of three major regional hubs in Asia, Europe, and North America. Current technological, demographic, and geopolitical trends look only to deepen these regional ties. O'Neil argues that this has urgent implications for the United States. Regionalization has enhanced economic competitiveness and prosperity in Europe and Asia. It could do the same for the United States, if only it would embrace its neighbors.
