Описание: Decentralization is accepted as one of the defining features of the third wave of democratic transitions in Latin America and commonly understood as an index and an agent of democratization. This rather optimistic perspective is inherent in the literature which is dominated by two theories. The liberal-individualist approach, especially as advocated by the World Bank, promotes decentralization policies on the premise of their efficiency, equity, and responsiveness to local demands. Similarly, the statist approach claims that decentralization can be the route to greater accountability, transparency and participation in governance; they add that this path should be guided by political elites and institutions. These dominant views nevertheless understate the extent to which certain decentralization policies have been implemented in lockstep with neoliberalization. This book examines the relationship between global economic processes and decentralization. It argues that through decentralization policies, the imperatives of neoliberal rules of competitiveness have been diffused into local governments and economies, generating different local development models. Whether decentralization produces democratic opening at the local level is contingent on how the local economy is integrated into global economic processes, and which social and economic groups are empowered, and disempowered, in that transition.

Описание: This study presents the results of the ADB Trade Finance Program's gender audit of partner banks and highlights recommendations to empower women to advance their careers and promote institutional gender equality.In the Asia and Pacific region, despite some progress, women’s share in senior management in the public and private sectors is still poor. Unless impediments to women’s labor force participation and promotion opportunities are removed, the region stands to lose considerably. Closing the gender gap in leadership leads to better business and financial outcomes. This study, co-funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, investigates how women are faring in the private banking sector and what can be done to promote their participation and leadership. It provides specific and practical recommendations to partner banks to advance the objective of attracting, retaining, and promoting more women in banking.
