Attention is increasingly being paid to the conceptualization of
the sustainable development agenda that should guide global
development efforts beyond 2015. New trends are shaping the
international environment, suggesting that the world emerging from
the recent economic and financial crisis will probably be very
different from the one we have known so far. The emerging issues
demand new concerted responses and new international efforts, which
will have to be framed by new rules and more democratic and
inclusive mechanisms of global governance. Global Governance and
Rules for the Post 2015 Era provides a unique assessment of global
rules and governance, a reflection of how global rules have been
shaping development experiences and outcomes, an identification of
the shortcomings of current global governance mechanisms and
innovative suggestions for reforming and improving them. The
various chapters analyse whether current rules and governance
structures enables the building of effective responses against
international problems and promote a fair distribution of
development opportunities among countries. This book is a timely
contribution to the discussions on a new global development agenda
undertaken under the leadership of the United Nations. It reflects
the outcome of a research programme by a group of independent
development experts brought together by the United Nations
Committee for Development Policy (CDP), a subsidiary body of the
Economic and Social Council. It will be of interest to policymakers
worldwide, experts of international agencies, scholars, students
and the wider public.
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open
Access programme and is available on bloomsburycollections.com. The
global economic crisis of 2008-2009 exposed systemic failings at
the core of economic policy making worldwide. The crisis came on
top of several other crises, including skyrocketing and highly
volatile world food and energy prices and climate change. This book
argues that new policy approaches are needed to address such
devastating global development challenges and to avoid the
potentially catastrophic consequences to livelihoods worldwide that
would result from present approaches. The contributors to the book
are independent development experts, brought together by the UN to
identify a development strategy capable of promoting a broad-based
economic recovery and at the same time guaranteeing social equity
and environmental sustainability both within countries and
internationally. This new development approach seeks to promote the
reforms needed to improve global governance, providing a more
equitable distribution of global public goods. The contributors
offer a critical evaluation of past development experiences and
report on their creative search for new and well-thought out
answers for the future. They suggest that economic progress, fairer
societies and environmental sustainability can be compatible
objectives, but only when pursued simultaneously by all.
Forensic DNA profiling procedures are mainly based on high
resolution and high throughput capillary electrophoresis separation
and detection systems of PCR amplicons obtained from DNA genomic
markers with different inheritance patterns. In DNA Electrophoresis
Protocols for Forensic Genetics, expert researchers in the field
detail many of the protocols and methods which are now commonly
used to perform forensic DNA profiling. It includes protocols for
profiling of autosomal STRs, Y-STRs, X-STRs, autosomal SNPs,
INDELS, Y-SNPs, mtDNA-SNPs, and mtDNA hypervariable regions HV1 and
HV2 . Protocols for molecular identification of non-human species
and mRNA profiling for body fluid identification are also included.
Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology (TM)
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective
topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key
tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

There is growing evidence that overcoming the low-income threshold
and reaching middle-income status is not sufficient for countries
to converge toward high-income levels. Few middle-income countries
have successfully completed that transit in recent decades, with
the majority remaining in the middle-income group, and so facing
what has come to be called "the middle-income trap". It is
therefore essential to explore whether middle-income traps really
exist and, if they do, how these pitfalls are manifested, what
their causes are, what economic policy measures are required to
escape from them, and what international cooperation can do to
support this process. Trapped in the Middle? brings together
diverse perspectives on these important questions, providing new
evidence and analytical approaches to enrich the debate on the
domestic and international challenges faced by a significant number
of middle-income countries, in which over three-quarters of the
global population live.
Leading governments undertook extraordinary measures to offset
the 2008 economic crisis, shoring up financial institutions,
stimulating demand to reverse recession, and rebalancing budgets to
alleviate sovereign debt. While productive in and of themselves,
these solutions were effective because they were coordinated
internationally and were matched with sweeping global financial
reforms. Unfortunately, coordination has weakened after these
initial steps, indicating one of the crisis's adverse effects will
be a significant reduction in development cooperation.
Urging advanced nations to improve their support for
development, the contributors to this volume revisit the causes of
the 2008 collapse and the ongoing effects of recession on global
and developing economies. They reevaluate the international
response to crisis and suggest more effective approaches to
development cooperation. Experts on international aid join together
to redesign the cooperation system and its governance, so it can
accept new actors and better achieve the Millennial Development
Goals of 2015 within the context of severe global crisis. In their
introduction, Jos? Antonio Alonso and Jos? Antonio Ocampo summarize
different chapters and the implications of their analyses,
concluding with a frank assessment of global economic imbalance and
the ability of increased cooperation to rectify these
inequalities.
