Political Institutions and Development challenges the cliche that
'good institutions' are essential for sustainable socio-economic
development by focusing on the need to adapt potential solutions to
local conditions. The authors argue that there is no one optimal
institutional design that can be successfully applied to any
country. The macro- and micro-level studies contained in this book
demonstrate that institutions are highly context-dependent and
time-sensitive and must be tailored to local conditions.
Specifically, law and order, effective governance, ethnic
sensitivity, a supporting political culture, civil rights, and
individual opportunities to participate in decision-making are also
necessary. With its global perspective, this book explores the
relationship between political institutions and development from
such diverse regions as the Commonwealth of Independent States,
East and South Asia, and Latin America. This book will appeal to
scholars and researchers in political science, economics, political
economy, development studies and globalization. It will also find a
wider audience amongst policymakers, development agencies and
policy communities throughout the world.
China is beginning to overtake the US as the world's largest
economy, and a few other East and South Asian countries are
steadily increasing their presence in global markets. The authors
of this book agree that the contours of a 'different' economic and
political order are emerging as the West is effectively struggling
to hold onto its global pre-eminence. Meanwhile, the torch is
slowly (albeit uncertainly) passing to a new generation of
international players. Some version of a new multilateral order is
emerging; an order that is both different from the previous one,
but also marked by multiple and significant continuities. This book
identifies possible factors responsible for the recent rise of many
developing countries. It examines how robust these trends actually
are and speculatively predicts the implications and consequences
that may result from a continuation of these trends. It also
suggests possible scenarios of future development. Ultimately, it
argues that the rise of the 'Rest' would not only imply
geopolitical shifts, but could also lead to the proliferation of
the new growth models in the Global South and to profound changes
in international economic relations. This innovative book is
written from a multicultural and multidisciplinary perspective by
the leading scholars in the field. It will appeal to professionals,
PhD students and graduate students alike, namely those in the
fields of international relations, political economy, political
science, international development and regional studies.

Modular reconfigurable robots were intensively studied. In
particular, problems of planning of self-reconfiguration received
considerable attention. Problems of reconfiguration planning play a
central role for modular reconfigurable robots. Solutions for such
problems lies at the heart of any control system of modular
reconfigurable robots. Performance of such solutions is the base
factor for the performance of the whole control system of modular
reconfigurable robot. Recently, the optimal reconfiguration
planning problem of finding the least number of reconfiguration
steps to transform between two configurations for chain-type
modular robots was introduced. It is preferred that the robot keeps
connected throughout the reconfiguration process. Respectively, in
this book we suppose that the robot keeps connected throughout the
reconfiguration process. We describe an approach to solve the
problem. Our approach is based on constructing logical models for
considered problem. Also we consider genetic and local search
algorithms for the problem. The book should be especially useful to
professionals in modular robotics.
