The overall nexus between security and development poses some formidable questions about the multiple forms of violence which afflict the international community: Why are some places peaceful while others are violent? Is poverty the main cause of civil conflict? What is the role of foreign aid in the whole process of rehabilitation, reconstruction and recovery following conflict? This important book tackles some of the main security challenges facing the international development community today. Containing contributions by leading experts, including some who have been at the center of the international policy debate, it goes further by putting forward suggestions and recommendations as to how best deal with these threats as well as challenges in this crucial area. The book will be an essential companion for all scholars, policy makers and practitioners working in this area, and also a useful reference source for students on undergraduate and graduate courses in development studies. Contributors: M. Ashwill, A. Chhibber, E. Chiappa, P. Collier, S. Fukuda-Parr, M. Gersovitz, M. Krygier, R. Laajaj, W. Mason, G. Mavrotas, C. Messineo, M. Reynal-Querol, M. Spence, G. Wheeler
The primary purpose in this book is to present an integrated and innovative methodological approach for the construction and selection of equity portfolios. The approach takes into account the inherent multidimensional nature of the problem, while allowing the decision makers to incorporate specified preferences in the decision processes. A fundamental principle of modern portfolio theory is that comparisons between portfolios are generally made using two criteria; the expected return and portfolio variance. According to most of the portfolio models derived from the stochastic dominance approach, the group of portfolios open to comparisons is divided into two parts: the efficient portfolios, and the dominated. This work integrates the two approaches providing a unified model for decision making in portfolio management with multiple criteria.

This book addresses several gaps in knowledge of aid allocation and effectiveness and provides new analytical insights. Topics covered include the interface between aid allocation and perceptions of aid effectiveness, the year-on-year volatility of aid and evaluation of the country-level impacts of aid.
Foreign aid is one of the few topics in the development discourse
with such an uninterrupted, yet volatile history in terms of
interest and attention from academics, policymakers, and
practitioners alike. Does aid work in promoting growth and reducing
poverty in the developing world? Will a new 'big push' approach
accelerate progress towards the Millennium Development Goals or
will another opportunity be missed? Can the lessons of almost half
a century of aid giving be learnt? These are truly important
questions in view of the emerging new landscape in foreign aid and
recent developments related to the global financial crisis, which
are expected to have far reaching implications for both donors and
recipients engaged in this area. Against this shifting aid
landscape, there is a pressing need to evaluate progress to date
and shed new light on emerging issues and agendas.
