Описание: This book shows how large an impact the WTO has on developing countries.

Описание: This book focuses on the effects of rural livelihood and the impact of infectious diseases on health and poverty. It explores cultures and traditions in developing countries and their role in infectious-disease management and prevention. It highlights the associated healthcare systems and how these have contributed to some of the challenges faced, and goes on to elaborate on the significance of community involvement in infectious-disease prevention, management and control. It also emphasizes the importance of surveillance and setting up strategies on infectious-disease management that are favourable for poor communities and developing countries. Infectious Diseases and Rural Livelihood in Developing Countries allows students, researchers, healthcare workers, stakeholders and governments to better understand the vicious cycle of health, poverty and livelihoods in developing countries and to develop strategies that can work better in these regions.
Описание: The book focuses on the negotiation process leading up to the creation of the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD) and the domestic implementation of this international agreement.
Описание: The main question explored by the book is: How can cross-border access to human genetic resources, such as blood or DNA samples, be governed in such a way as to achieve equity for vulnerable populations in developing countries? The book situates the field of genomic and genetic research within global health and research frameworks, describing the concerns that have been raised about the potential unfairness in exchanges during recent decades. Access to and sharing in the benefits of human biological resources are aspects not regulated by any international legal framework such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, which applies only to the exchange of plants, animals and microorganisms, as well as to associated traditional knowledge. Examples of genetic research perceived as exploitative are provided in order to illustrate the legal vacuum concerning the global governance of human genetic resources. The main conclusions drawn from the legal and ethical analysis are:• Benefit sharing is crucial in order to avoid the exploitation of developing countries in human genetic research.• With functioning research ethics committees, undue inducement is less of a concern in genetic research than in other areas of medical research (e.g. clinical trials).• Concerns remain over research involving indigenous populations; accordingly, recommendations are provided. In drawing these conclusions, the book addresses in detail a highly pressing topic in global bioethics and international law. In this regard, it combines bioethical arguments with jurisprudence, in particular with reference to the law of equity and the legal concepts of duress (coercion), unconscionable dealing, and undue inducement.

Описание: The thesis of this book is that the long-term effectiveness of the FCCC runs the risk of a horizontal negotiation deadlock between countries and the risk of vertical standstill within countries if there is little domestic support for the domestic implementation of measures being announced in international negotiations.

Описание:
A comprehensive and rigorous text that shows how a basic open economy model can be extended to answer important macroeconomic questions that arise in emerging markets.
This rigorous and comprehensive textbook develops a basic small open economy model and shows how it can be extended to answer many important macroeconomic questions that arise in emerging markets and developing economies, particularly those regarding monetary, fiscal, and exchange rate issues. Eschewing the complex calibrated models on which the field of international finance increasingly relies, the book teaches the reader how to think in terms of simple models and grasp the fundamentals of open economy macroeconomics.
After analyzing the standard intertemporal small open economy model, the book introduces frictions such as imperfect capital markets, intertemporal distortions, and nontradable goods, into the basic model in order to shed light on the economy's response to different shocks. The book then introduces money into the model to analyze the real effects of monetary and exchange rate policy. It then applies these theoretical tools to a variety of important macroeconomic issues relevant to developing countries (and, in a world of continuing financial crisis, to industrial countries as well), including the use of a nominal interest rate as a main policy instrument, the relative merits of flexible and predetermined exchange rate regimes, and the targeting of "real anchors." Finally, the book analyzes in detail specific topics such as inflation stabilization, "dollarization," balance of payments crises, and, inspired by recent events, financial crises. Each chapter includes boxes with relevant empirical evidence and ends with exercises. The book is suitable for use in graduate courses in development economics, international finance, and macroeconomics.

Описание: Differences In The Choices Of Trade And Macro Policies, Both By Developing Countries And By Developed Countries Towards Developing Countries, Have Been Critical In Determining The Overall Performance Of Developing Countries. All Too Often, The Performance Of Developing Countries Has Not Been Assessed Using Appropriately Conducted Studies. The Papers In This Book Are Chosen To Bridge This Gap And Show How A Quantitative Approach To Policy Evaluation Can Help Resolve Controversies And Explain The Choice Of Observed Policies.The Book Brings Together Carefully Selected Papers That Assess The Impacts Of Various Trade And Macro Policies, By Quantifying The Policies Of Developing Countries At The Macro Level (Exchange Rate, Investment, Savings) And At The Sector Level (Trade And Industrial Policies), In Addition To Policies Of Developed Countries Towards Developing Countries (Trade Preferences, Quotas, Vers And Migration Policies). Facets Of The Political Economy Of Trade, Migration, And Climate Policies Are Explored (Such As The Enlargement Of The Eu, The Rise Of Regionalism And How It Can Ease The Pains Of Adjustment To Trade Liberalization, Openness And Inequality). Growing Tensions Between Trade And The Environment Are Also Investigated. In Short, This Book Covers A Wide Area Of Events Ranging From External And Internal Shocks To External And Internal Policies, Showing How The Consequences Of These Events Can Be Brought To Rigorous Quantitative Analysis.
