Описание:
An increasingly popular view holds that institutions--in particular, the rule of law--are the keys to unlocking the developing world's full growth potential. But what exactly does this mean? Which legal institutions matter and why? How can policymakers use this knowledge to promote growth? In The Law-Growth Nexus, Kenneth Dam brings five decades of experience as a legal scholar and policymaker to bear upon these questions. After reviewing the burgeoning literature on legal institutions and economic development, Dam unpacks the rule of law concept. Successive chapters analyze enforcement, contracts, and property rights--the three concepts that collectively define rule of law--and examine their roles in the real estate and financial sectors. Dam uses an extended analysis of China to assess the importance of the rule of law. This case study illustrates several of the book's central themes, including the difficulty of building a strong, independent judiciary and firstclass financial sector. The stark fact is that many parts of what we call the developing world have stopped developing, while other regions have seen a slowdown in once-promising growth. Could new or better legal institutions help jumpstart these economies? In exploring this question, Th e Law-Growth Nexus goes beyond regression results to examine the underlying mechanisms through which the law, the judiciary, and the legal profession influence the economy. The result is essential reading for analysts and policymakers facing the challenges of legal and economic reform.
Описание: The etymology of Nexum is linked to a prehistoric Roman institution of bonded slavery; 'nexus' were people living in this kind of limited enslavement. In the social sciences, it describes the emergence of plural political economies, supporting economic and political globalisation, and rendering institutions of hierarchy, dependence and domination over the most vulnerable and marginalised groups in human society. Global interconnectivity amid democratic nations advocating economic nationalism, neoconservative, and ethnocentric ideologies, policies and laws in the west and Asia has rendered greater irresolvable contradictions and inconsistencies in the pursuit of equality and justice.Global Nexus: Political Economies, Interconnectivity and the Social Sciences is a provocative critique of the social sciences in the age of neo-conservative and alt-right globalisation sweeping across modern democracies globally. The writer persuasively argues that the mainstream western social science modality of describing indigenous knowledge and sub-altern discourses as 'alternative knowledge' is due for serious review, for it describes, devalues and renders it the same renegade status as the 'alternate realities' of the alt-right, neo-conservative agencies of Western and Asian governments. Indigenous knowledge indeed has been the core source of knowledge of the social sciences but has been reduced to academic fodder as social scientists continue to utilise these sources to advance analytical constructs from western philosophical discourses. However, Indigenous discourses are now salvaged and mainstreamed by other disciplines in literature, communications, media, and investigative journalism, to propose that worldviews and ideas of the underclasses, including women, migrants, minorities, refugees, war prisoners and refugees should be brought to the fore and 'mainstreamed' for the reader to understand that the stories they tell, and their reasons why tell them, are closer to truth than fiction. These lost voices, often silenced, suppressed and understated generate new knowledge of the marginalised and disadvantaged sectors of modern society, reflecting the social realities of globalisation. The denouncement of credible, newsworthy information, data and analysis as 'fake' when these expose the diabolical, contradictory and oppressive policies of democratic governments is not a strength of the contemporary social scientist, in particular, the anthropologist, as readers turn to investigative journalists and communication specialists to expose falsities of official 'truths' perpetuated by neo-conservative, alt-right governments.The book vividly recollects global events in the first 12 months of the Trump administration in the US, and relates it to contemporary trends of neo-conservatism, ethno-centrism, racism, and misogyny, globally and in Southeast Asian democratised states in particular, suggesting that plural political economies are emerging everywhere and globally, subject to varying colonial and post-colonial histories, in reaction and response to the pursuit of wealth, power and vital global resources. In the growing phenomenon of global agencing, wealth- and poverty-generating institutions exist together in complex sets of hierarchical relationships, strategies and alliances, with dire consequences for those on the wrong side of the global spectrum.
Economic development and a dramatic improvement in living standards in many parts of the People's Republic of China during the past three decades of economic reforms have been hailed by the Chinese Communist Party and many commentators in the international arena as the most spectacular achievements in the history of humanity. However, three decades of economic reforms have also transformed China from one of the world's most egalitarian societies into one of the most unequal.
This book offers a comprehensive account of inequality in China from an interdisciplinary perspective. It both draws on, and speaks to, the existing body of literature that is generated mainly in the fields of economics and sociology, while extending its scope to also examine the political, social, moral and cultural dimensions of inequality. Each chapter addresses the question of inequality from a specific context of research, including housing, health care, social welfare, education, migration, land distribution, law, gender and sexuality. Moving beyond traditional socio-economic theories, the contributors to this volume explore a wide range of social, political, economic and cultural practices that result from, as well as further entrench, the inequalities in Chinese society. Importantly, the essays in Unequal China probe the hidden causes of inequality - namely, the role of state power and the importance of culture - and underline how both state power and cultural factors have a key part to play in legitimating inequality.
With an innovative approach that moves beyond the economic and sociological roots of inequality in China, this volume is a welcome addition to what is a growing field of study, and will appeal to students and scholars interested in Chinese culture and society, Chinese politics and Asian social policy.

Описание:
Latin America has gone through a major transformation in the past two decades. According to the United Nations, with the discovery of new oil and mineral deposits and increases in energy exports, manufacturing and tourism, Latin America's economic growth and development will only continue, foreign investment will increase, and the region's global influence will become greater and greater.
This is an historic opportunity for Latin America. Yet, as Stanford economist and former Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo points out in his new book, The Shared Society, social strife threatens to undermine its recent economic and political progress. The specter of unsustainable growth and greed threatens to compromise the environment. Economic growth rates could slow and democracy could deteriorate into familiar forms of authoritarian populism.
In The Shared Society, Toledo, whose tenure as president of Peru helped spur its economic renaissance, develops a plan for a future Latin America in which its population is not only much better off economically than today, but in which the vast 40 percent of Latin America's poor and marginalized are incorporated into a rising middle class, democratic institutions work more effectively, and the extraordinary ecosystem of Latin America is preserved. This is Toledo's vision for a just, sustainable, and prosperous shared society.
To achieve this, Toledo lays out a set of principles and concrete, implementable ideas with which Latin Americans can reinvent themselves as a leading force for change in a continuously globalizing society beset by inequalities and global problems such as climate change and shortages of clean drinkable water, food security, human rights violations and weak democratic institutions. Toledo argues that only extraordinary efforts of vision, determination, courage and inspired leadership will set Latin America on the path to inclusive development, and this book provides a visionary manifesto and blueprint for creating that ideal shared society.
