The Prevention of Humanitarian Emergencies (Hardcover): E. Wayne Nafziger, Raimo Vayrynen The Prevention of Humanitarian Emergencies (Hardcover)
E. Wayne Nafziger, Raimo Vayrynen
R4,254 Discovery Miles 42 540 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Since the end of the cold war, civil wars and state violence have escalated, resulting in thousands of deaths. This book provides a toolbox for donors, international agencies, and developing countries to prevent humanitarian emergencies. The emphasis is on long-term development policies rather than mediation or reconstruction after the conflict ensues. Policies include democratization, reforming institutions, strengthening civil society, improving the state's administrative capability, agrarian reform, accelerating economic growth through stabilization and adjustment, reducing inequalities, and redesigning aid to be more stable.

War, Hunger, and Displacement: Volume 2 (Hardcover): E. Wayne Nafziger, Frances Stewart, Raimo Vayrynen War, Hunger, and Displacement: Volume 2 (Hardcover)

R7,272 R6,163 Discovery Miles 61 630 Save R1,109 (15%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This two-volume work examines the causes of civil war and consequent humanitarian emergencies in developing countries. Twenty-three international experts explain why wars start and how to prevent them--offering a less costly alternative to the present reactive strategy of the world community to provide mediation, relief, and rehabilitation after the conflict occurs. The volumes provide a general framework which is applied to such recent conflicts as those in Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, the Congo, Afghanistan, and the Caucasus.

Learning from the Japanese - Japan's Pre-war Development and the Third World (Hardcover, New): E. Wayne Nafziger Learning from the Japanese - Japan's Pre-war Development and the Third World (Hardcover, New)
E. Wayne Nafziger
R3,877 Discovery Miles 38 770 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book looks at Japan's early economic modernization to see if today's low-income countries can learn any lessons. The author focuses on education, technology policy, capital formation, the transfer of savings from agriculture to industry, state aid to the private sector, improvement engineering in the informal sector, low wages, industrial dualism, export expansion, and resistance to Western imperialism (a strategy which included acquiring its own empire) under Japan's "guided capitalism". He criticizes modernization scholars for underemphasizing the damage of imperialism and the importance of economic autonomy and technological learning, the dependency school for prescribing trade reduction and neglecting market exchange-rate policies, and world-system theorists for rejecting the possibility of global economic growth.

Economic Development (Hardcover, 5th Revised edition): E. Wayne Nafziger Economic Development (Hardcover, 5th Revised edition)
E. Wayne Nafziger
R1,748 Discovery Miles 17 480 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"E. Wayne Nafziger analyzes the economic development of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and East-Central Europe. The book is suitable for those with a background in economics principles. Nafziger explains the reasons for the recent fast growth of India, Poland, Brazil, China, and other Pacific Rim countries, and the slow, yet essential, growth for a turnaround of sub-Saharan Africa. The fifth edition of the text, written by a scholar of developing countries, is replete with real-world examples and up-to-date information. Nafziger discusses poverty, income inequality, hunger, unemployment, the environment and carbon-dioxide emissions, and the widening gap between rich (including middle-income) and poor countries. Other new components include the rise and fall of models based on Russia, Japan, China/Taiwan/Korea, and North America; randomized experiments to assess aid; an exploration of whether information technology and mobile phones can provide poor countries with a shortcut to prosperity; and a discussion of how worldwide financial crises, debt, and trade and capital markets affect developing countries"--

Inequality in Africa - Political Elites, Proletariat, Peasants and the Poor (Paperback): E. Wayne Nafziger Inequality in Africa - Political Elites, Proletariat, Peasants and the Poor (Paperback)
E. Wayne Nafziger
R1,077 Discovery Miles 10 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This study of inequality in Africa, first published in 1988, not only rejected the orthodox approach of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, which neglected income distribution and advocated greater external economic reliance, but also the statist Lagos Plan of Action, which supported comprehensive planning, large capital-intensive state firms, and increased government intervention in peasant prices. Wayne Nafziger's political economy analysis shows how the colonial legacy, the contemporary global economic system, and the ruling elites' policies of co-opting labour, favouring urban areas, distributing benefits communally, and spending on education to maintain inter-generational class exacerbate discrepancies between regions, urban and rural areas, and bourgeoisie and workers, even under 'African socialism'. The author's policy discussion eschews technoeconomic solutions, arguing that reducing inequality requires democratising political participation as well as economic control.
