Securing Peace - State-building and Economic Development in Post-conflict Countries (Hardcover, New): Richard Kozul-Wright,... Securing Peace - State-building and Economic Development in Post-conflict Countries (Hardcover, New)
Richard Kozul-Wright, Pier-Giuseppe Fortunato
R3,055 Discovery Miles 30 550 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on bloomsburycollections.com. This book studies the processes which lead to explosion of civil strife and tries to spell out the policy options available to address the challenges faced by post-conflict economies. It calls for a more integrated policy approach which can gradually repair trust in public institutions as it addresses the vulnerabilities and grievances that helped start the process. Usually, such societies do not have the luxury of meeting the goals of security, reconciliation and development in a measured or sequenced manner: to avoid an immediate return to violence they must begin the recovery process on all fronts simultaneously.

These papers deal with such issues as the nature and extent of globalisation, the shifting relations between transnational corporations and national economies, and the opportunities and obstacles facing policy makers in the rapidly changing global economy.

South-South Regional Financial Arrangements - Collaboration Towards Resilience (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022): Diana Barrowclough,... South-South Regional Financial Arrangements - Collaboration Towards Resilience (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Diana Barrowclough, Richard Kozul-Wright, William N. Kring, Kevin P. Gallagher
R3,304 Discovery Miles 33 040 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book shows how regional cooperation and integration have increased massively in scale and scope in recent years, as developing countries seek new ways to shield themselves from economic turbulence and to kick-start their economies in the face of stagnant global demand. The trend is partly a defense mechanism against the limitations of the international financial system, but also reflects a wider search for new and different growth paths more appropriate with developing countries' increasing economic and political voice. As a consequence, the landscape of financial and monetary mechanisms has changed dramatically, especially in the ten years since the economic crisis of 2007-2008.

The Rise and Fall of Global Microcredit - Development, debt and disillusion (Paperback): Milford Bateman, Stephanie... The Rise and Fall of Global Microcredit - Development, debt and disillusion (Paperback)
Milford Bateman, Stephanie Blankenburg, Richard Kozul-Wright
R1,156 Discovery Miles 11 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In the mid-1980s the international development community helped launch what was to quickly become one of the most popular poverty reduction and local economic development policies of all time. Microcredit, the system of disbursing tiny micro-loans to the poor to help them to establish their own income-generating activities, was initially highly praised and some were even led to believe that it would end poverty as we know it. But in recent years the microcredit model has been subject to growing scrutiny and often intense criticism. The Rise and Fall of Global Microcredit shines a light on many of the fundamental problems surrounding microcredit, in particular, the short- and long-term impacts of dramatically rising levels of microdebt. Developed in collaboration with UNCTAD, this book covers the general policy implications of adverse microcredit impacts, as well as gathering together country-specific case studies from around the world to illustrate the real dynamics, incentives and end results. Lively and provocative, The Rise and Fall of Global Microcredit is an accessible guide for students, academics, policymakers and development professionals alike.

Southern-Led Development Finance - Solutions from the Global South (Hardcover): Diana Barrowclough, Kevin P. Gallagher, Richard... Southern-Led Development Finance - Solutions from the Global South (Hardcover)
Diana Barrowclough, Kevin P. Gallagher, Richard Kozul-Wright
R3,996 Discovery Miles 39 960 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Southern-Led Development Finance examines some of the innovative new south-south financial arrangements and institutions that have emerged in recent years, as countries from the Global South seek to transform their economies and to shield themselves from global economic turbulence. Even before the Covid-19 crisis, it was clear to many that the global economy needed a reset and a massive increase in public investment. In the last decade southern-owned development banks, infrastructure funds, foreign exchange reserve funds and Sovereign Wealth Funds have doubled the amount of long-term finance available to developing countries. Now, as the world considers what a post-Covid-19 future will look like, it is clear that Southern-led institutions will do much of the heavy lifting. This book brings together insights from theory and practice, incorporating the voices of bankers, policymakers and practitioners alongside international academics. It covers the most significant new initiatives stemming from Asia, tried and tested examples in Latin America and in Africa, and the contribution of advanced economies. Whilst the book highlights the potential for Southern-led initiatives to change the global financial landscape profoundly, it also shows their varied impacts and concludes that more is needed for development than just the technical availability of funds. As governments and businesses become frustrated by the traditional North-dominated mechanisms and international financial system, this book argues that southern-led development finance will play an important role in the search for more inclusive, equitable and sustainable patterns of investment, trade and growth in the post-Covid landscape. It will be of interest to practitioners, policy makers, researchers and students working on development and finance everywhere.

The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Policy (Hardcover): Arkebe Oqubay, Christopher Cramer, Ha-Joon Chang, Richard Kozul-Wright The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Policy (Hardcover)
Arkebe Oqubay, Christopher Cramer, Ha-Joon Chang, Richard Kozul-Wright
R5,359 Discovery Miles 53 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Industrial policy has long been regarded as a strategy to encourage sector-, industry-, or economy-wide development by the state. It has been central to competitiveness, catching up, and structural change in both advanced and developing countries. It has also been one of the most contested perspectives, reflecting ideologically inflected debates and shifts in prevailing ideas. There has lately been a renewed interest in industrial policy in academic circles and international policy dialogues, prompted by the weak outcomes of policies pursued by many developing countries under the direction of the Washington Consensus (and its descendants), the slow economic recovery of many advanced economies after the 2008 global financial crisis, and mounting anxieties about the national consequences of globalization. The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Policy presents a comprehensive review of and a novel approach to the conceptual and theoretical foundations of industrial policy. The Handbook also presents analytical perspectives on how industrial policy connects to broader issues of development strategy, macro-economic policies, infrastructure development, human capital, and political economy. By combining historical and theoretical perspectives, and integrating conceptual issues with empirical evidence drawn from advanced, emerging, and developing countries, The Handbook offers valuable lessons and policy insights to policymakers, practitioners and researchers on developing productive transformation, technological capabilities, and international competitiveness. It addresses pressing issues including climate change, the gendered dimensions of industrial policy, global governance, and technical change. Written by leading international thinkers on the subject, the volume pulls together different perspectives and schools of thought from neo-classical to structuralist development economists to discuss and highlight the adaptation of industrial policy in an ever-changing socio-economic and political landscape.

Climate protection and development (Paperback): United Nations.Department of Economic and Social Affairs Climate protection and development (Paperback)
United Nations.Department of Economic and Social Affairs; Edited by Frank Ackerman, Richard Kozul-Wright, Rob Vos
R1,540 Discovery Miles 15 400 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book spells out, in more detail than usual, what can and should be done to avert the real risks of climate change disaster. Nor is it one of complacent congratulation for win-win initiatives, cautiously incremental steps, and green consumer choices. Climate Protection and Development summons us to an endeavour worthy of the resources and ingenuity of the twenty-first century - towards bold initiatives with big costs, and much bigger benefits. This book explores the interconnected issues of climate and development, laying the groundwork for just such a new deal. It presents a challenging agenda, and highlights the needs and perspectives of developing countries which may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable to readers in high-income countries. The unfortunate truth is that any large country, or group of mid-sized countries, can veto any global climate solution by refusing to participate, so a solution will only work if it works for everyone.

The Resistible Rise of Market Fundamentalism - Rethinking Development Policy in an Unbalanced World (Paperback): Richard... The Resistible Rise of Market Fundamentalism - Rethinking Development Policy in an Unbalanced World (Paperback)
Richard Kozul-Wright, Paul Rayment
R1,175 Discovery Miles 11 750 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"Stabilise, liberalise and privatise" has, since the debt crisis of the early 1980s, been the mantra chanted at developing countries by international financial institutions, donor countries and newspaper columnists with quasi-religious conviction. Policy debate has increasingly polarised into the rhetoric of extremes: trade liberalisers versus protectionists, cosmopolitan versus nationalist, the right-thinking versus the wrong-headed, and so on. In The Resistible Rise of Market Fundamentalism Richard Kozul-Wright and Paul Rayment expose the mix of selective evidence, mythical economic history, simplistic assumptions and opportunistic bias which comprise this prescription for economic development. They argue that attempts to apply a universal model of development have not only met with little or no success but are dangerously at odds with democratic principles. Insisting on a ready-made, "one size fits all" model increases the risk of policy reactions that are likely to undermine the peace, prosperity and global integration that the G7 countries and the international organisations are seeking to promote and in which the developing countries seek to share. Instead, developing countries must be given the freedom to experiment, to develop their own policies and discover what works in their own, national circumstances. On this basis, Kozul-Wright and Rayment set out a pragmatic, constructive and more hopeful approach to development than the simplicities of market fundamentalists.
