Описание: Since the 1980s, Spain and South Korea have experienced dramatic economic transformations.

Описание:
Drawing on two decades of ethnographic research in Sulawesi, Indonesia, Tania Murray Li offers an intimate account of the emergence of capitalist relations among indigenous highlanders who privatized their common land to plant a boom crop, cacao. Spurred by the hope of ending their poverty and isolation, some prospered, while others lost their land and struggled to sustain their families. Yet the winners and losers in this transition were not strangers—they were kin and neighbors. Li's richly peopled account takes the reader into the highlanders' world, exploring the dilemmas they faced as sharp inequalities emerged among them.
The book challenges complacent, modernization narratives promoted by development agencies that assume inefficient farmers who lose out in the shift to high-value export crops can find jobs elsewhere. Decades of uneven and often jobless growth in Indonesia meant that for newly landless highlanders, land's end was a dead end. The book also has implications for social movement activists, who seldom attend to instances where enclosure is initiated by farmers rather than coerced by the state or agribusiness corporations. Li's attention to the historical, cultural, and ecological dimensions of this conjuncture demonstrates the power of the ethnographic method and its relevance to theory and practice today.

Описание: "
Handbook of Frontier Markets: The European and African Evidence "provides novel insights from academic perspectives about the behavior of investors and prices in several frontier markets. It explores finance issues usually reserved for developed and emerging markets in order to gauge whether these issues are relevant and how they manifest themselves in frontier markets.
Frontier markets have now become a popular investment class among institutional investors internationally, with major financial services providers establishing index-benchmarks for this market-category. The anticipation for frontier markets is optimistic uncertainty, and many people believe that, given their growth rates, these markets will be economic success stories. Irrespective of their degrees of success, " The Handbook of Frontier Markets" can help ensure that the increasing international investment diverted to them will aid in their greater integration within the global financial system. Presents topics in the context of frontier markets and uses tests based on established methodologies from finance researchDraws from authors who are established university academics Pays particular attention to financial institutions and applications of financial risk modelsExplores finance issues usually reserved for developed and emerging markets in order to gauge whether these issues are relevant and how they manifest themselves in frontier markets

Описание: The book aims to explore the regional innovation capability of China, especially how the frontier regions of China (Guangdong, Jiangsu, Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Tianjin) transform themselves from an investment-driven economy into an innovation-driven one. With detailed case, data and policy, we analyse the modes of each province and municipality from different perspectives such as comparative advantage in innovation, existing industrial base and culture, the government’s innovation strategy, and industrial upgrading pattern.

Описание: Harnessing
technology for a better future
Looking
into the future is always difficult and often problematic—but sometimes it’s
useful to imagine what innovations might resolve today’s problems and make tomorrow
better. In this book, 15 distinguished international experts examine how
technology will affect the human condition and natural world within the next
ten years.
Their stories reflect major
ambitions for what the future could bring and offer a glimpse into the
possibilities for achieving the UN’s ambitious Sustainable Development Goals.
The
authors were asked to envision future success in their respective fields, given
the current state of technology and potential progress over the next decade. The
central question driving their research: What are likely technological advances
that could contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals at major scale, affecting the lives of hundreds of millions
of people or substantial geographies around the globe.
One
overall takeaway is that gradualist approaches will not achieve those goals by
2030. Breakthroughs will be necessary in science, in the development of new
products and services, and in institutional systems.
Each of the
experts responded with stories that reflect big ambitions for what the future
may bring. Their stories are not projections or forecasts as to what will
happen; they are reasoned and reasonable conjectures about what could happen.
The editors’ intent is to provide a glimpse into the possibilities for the
future of sustainable development.
At a time when many people worry
about stalled progress on the economic, social, and environmental challenges of
sustainable development, Breakthrough is a reminder that the promise of
a better future is within our grasp, across a range of domains. It will interest
anyone who wonders about the world’s economic, social, and environmental
future.

Описание: Savings Groups reach those rarely served by mainstream financial institutions. At weekly meetings, members deposit savings and take loans, and in the process build commitment, discipline and mutual assistance. Maximum transparency, a profitable structure for saving, access to small loans and an annual lump sum of capital are the hallmarks of the Savings Group methodology. The outcome: empowered groups, made up mostly of women, who manage themselves as tiny financial institutions. Today there are Savings Groups in 60 countries with more than 6 million members, the result of initiatives carried out by dozens of international and local NGOs."Savings Groups at the Frontier" explores the issues that will shape the future of Savings Groups. What are the costs, required inputs, and anticipated outreach of these groups? How does replication take place? How sustainable are the groups? Is it feasible to integrate financial and non-financial services? Are linkages to the formal system desirable? What is the impact of groups on members and their households? How can performance be managed? This book addresses issues, not from the perspective of the financial institution, but in support of group members and savers who are managing their own financial services. This book is essential reading for all those concerned with extending financial services to the poor: NGO and microfinance managers, bankers, policy makers, researchers and students.
