Описание: Thisfourth edition has been comprehensively rewritten and updated to provide a concise, well illustrated and accessible introduction to the characteristics, challenges and opportunities of sustainable development with particular reference to developing countries. The contested nature of sustainable development is explored through a detailed consideration of changing ideas and practices within environmentalism and development thinking.The text identifies the different actors involved (from institutions of global governance through to community based organisations), the policies and mechanisms through which sustainable development is being sought and considers the outcomes for particular groups and environments in both rural and urban contexts. ?? This edition places stronger emphasis on the global challenges of sustainable development with an understanding of inter-linked crises in climate, energy, economy, poverty and social injustice. It explores how these issues are leading to deep questioning of what sustainable development is, what it should be, and how sustainable development policies and mechanisms are being reconsidered.The book gives new consideration to the challenge of achieving lower carbon growth, climate adaptation, and the implications on sustainable development of rapidly expanding economies, including China and India.It contains greater discussion of how civil society movements influence outcomes of international climate policy, as well as technological developments in energy and agriculture. The text also contains a substantially expanded discussion of how poverty remains central to sustainable development challenges, as revealed through the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and Millennium Development Goals. This invaluable text retains the core message that sustainable development has become central to debates about environment and development.Containing a substantial number of new boxed case studies, learning outcomes, chapter summaries, discussion questions, further reading and websites, this text provides an essential introduction for students.

Описание: Capital market liberalization has been a key part of the ongoing debate on globalization. Bringing together leading researchers and practitioners in the field, this book provides a unique analysis of both the risks associated with capital market liberalization and the alternative policy options available to enhance macroeconomic management.
Why does capital formation often fail to occur in developing countries? Capital and Collusion explores the political incentives that either foster growth or steal nations' growth prospects.
Hilton Root examines the frontier between risk and uncertainty, analyzing the forces driving development in both developed and undeveloped regions. In the former, he argues, institutions reduce everyday economic risks to levels low enough to make people receptive to opportunities for profit, stimulating developments in technology and science. Not so in developing countries. There, institutions that specialize in sharing risk are scarce. Money hides under mattresses and in teapots, creating a gap between a poor nation's savings and its investment. As a consequence, the developing world faces a growing disconnect between the value of its resources and the availability of finance.
What are the remedies for eliminating this disparity? Root shows us how to close the growing wealth gap among nations by building institutions that convert uncertainty into risk. Comparing China to India, Latin America to East Asia, and contemporary to historical cases, he offers lessons that can help the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to tackle the political incentives that are the source of poor governance in developing nations.

Описание: This proposed book intends to provide a reference resource to showcase insightful perspectives on the 21st century realities of foreign capital flow and their implications on the economic development of Africa. The foreign capital sources will constitute foreign direct investment (multinational corporations and, small and medium multinational enterprises), development aid, remittances and foreign debt. Our main goal and novel1 contribution to the literature will be to answer a question that has never been asked before 'Who benefits Africa more in the 21st century, the BRICS2 or OECD3 countries?' Effectiveness of foreign capitals from conventional sources (OECD countries) will be analyzed and compared to those from non-conventional sources (BRICS countries) that have gained prominence in recent years. The book will offer hard-headed prognosis on the state of Africa's external financial resources and how to facilitate efficient policies necessary for meaningful, sustained and inclusive growth. It will provide an in-depth analysis of fundamental domestic factors such as information and communication technologies (ICTs) and non-ICTs infrastructure development (socio-economic infrastructures); policies; financial sector liberalization and access to financial resources; innovation, research and development and; resource extraction] that determine how foreign capital flow impact economic development in Africa with differential effects across the continent. We expect the outcome of this book to be profoundly refreshing with evident methodological pluralism and conceptual reflexivity. Our vision is to deliver a comprehensive work of reference to be cited as an authoritative source on the subject. This title will have a particular relevance and resonance with the changes currently taking place in Africa as the continent strides out more confidently towards effective integration in the global economy. We envision a volume of compelling academic and policy significance.
