The packaging of genomic DNA together with core histones, linker histones, and other functional proteins into chromatin play key roles in nuclear processes such as transcription, replication, repair and recombination. Research in the last two decades has unveiled the fact that many diseases involve an aberration of these processes at the chromatin level. Similarly, it is becoming clear that different processes such as chromatin assembly, remodeling of chromatin structure coupled to covalent modification of histone and non-histone proteins, chromatin modifying enzymes and last but not the least, important DNA-templated phenomena are the potential drug targets for diseases such as different types of cancer, neurodegenerrative diseases, AIDS etc.
In the second half of 1997 Thailand, Malaysia, Korea and Indonesia experienced a massive outflow of foreign capital - more than $100 billion. The effects of this rival the worst years of the Latin American debt crisis and the early years of the Great Depression. The Asian crisis demonstrates how interconnected the global economy has become, and this book is the first attempt, by an international group of experts, to understand the Asian financial crisis by taking into account the dynamics of private capital flows. The authors answer some of the most important questions relating to the Asian crisis, and seek to find solutions to prevent such crises occurring again, including: * what caused the crisis in Asian countries? * why did most analysts fail to anticipate the crisis? * why were the effects so severe? * what is the key to recovery in Asia and other crisis countries? * what can be done to prevent such a crisis from occurring again? * how can the international system deal with such circumstances more successfully? Private Capital Flows in the Age of Globalization will be invaluable to policymakers, investors and scholars working in the fields of money, finance and banking, Asian studies, development and international economics.
The last decade has seen a massive increase in international capital flows to emerging markets. This development has offered opportunities to those countries that have opened themselves up to overseas capital, but it has also created risks. In this volume, a team of policymakers and academics from 14 different countries, as well as representatives of the international financial institutions primarily responsible for responding to the crises, examine the challenges and options facing policymakers today. The book includes both detailed analysis of individual economies from around the world and in-depth analysis of the broad systemic issues of why crises occur and how we can prevent them. By looking at economies from many different parts of the world, the book provides a broad and comprehensive look at the similarities and differences in recent financial crises.
