analyses of the nature of financial inclusion. The contributing
authors explore the impediments to inclusion that exist around the
world, the macro and stability implications, and the regulation
dimension. With contributions from distinguished researchers, this
book covers the main analytical and empirical issues in financial
inclusion and its role in economic development. Chapters present a
wide range of case studies illustrating topics such as mobile
money, financial liberalization and bank efficiency, as well as
highlighting the costs associated with financial exclusion and the
various policy and regulatory measures that have been applied to
lower the barriers to inclusion. Offering a comprehensive
exploration of financial inclusion and its impediments, this
important book will be welcomed by students, researchers and policy
makers interested in economic development and financial regulation.
The Handbook of International Banking provides a clearly accessible
source of reference material, covering the main developments that
reveal how the internationalization and globalization of banking
have developed over recent decades to the present, and analyses the
creation of a new global financial architecture. The Handbook is
the first of its kind in the area of international banking with
contributions from leading specialists in their respective fields,
often with remarkable experience in academia or professional
practice. The material is provided mainly in the form of
self-contained surveys, which trace the main developments in a
well-defined topic, together with specific references to journal
articles and working papers. Some contributions, however,
disseminate new empirical findings especially where competing
paradigms are evaluated. The Handbook is divided into four areas of
interest. The first deals with the globalization of banking and
continues on to banking structures and functions. The authors then
focus on banking risks, crises and regulation and finally the
evolving international financial architecture. Designed to serve as
a source of supplementary reading and inspiration, the Handbook is
suited to a range of courses in banking and finance including
post-experience and in-house programmes for bankers and other
financial services practitioners. This outstanding volume will
become essential reference for policymakers, financial
practitioners as well as academics and researchers in the field.

First published in 1998, this volume focuses on the relationship
between trade policy and economic growth, one of the most
controversial questions in the emerging paradigm on "international
trade and economic development". Authored by a senior monetary
expert and a senior lecturer in finance, the question is explored
through institutional and policy issues with examples from a sample
of ten African countries, with special reference to Malawi and
Zambia. Asking which trade regime is appropriate for promoting
economic growth in developing countries, the book concludes by
discussing the appropriate strategy for African countries.

In the last two decades, the role of finance in the development
process has become a major topic of research and debate. Although
it is widely agreed that there is an important link between the
two, there is much less consensus on the exact nature of the
relationship. Is financial development a prerequisite for general
economic development, or is it a more passive by-product of the
development process? In this valuable new book, a distinguished
group of authors takes stock of the existing state of knowledge in
the field of finance and the development process. Each chapter
offers a comprehensive survey and synthesis of current issues.
These include such critical subjects as savings, financial markets
and the macroeconomy, stock market development, financial
regulation, foreign investment and aid, financing livelihoods,
microfinance, rural financial markets, small and medium
enterprises, corporate finance and banking. This book will be
accessible to postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students of
finance and development. It will also be an essential reference
source for all professionals and academics working in this area who
want to learn how finance can contribute to the development process
and poverty reduction.
Bank regulation in Africa has come to a crossroad. Whilst the
transition from Basel I to Basel II was relatively smooth, there
was much uncertainty as to the feasibility of the Basel II
regulatory codes. In the aftermath of the financial crisis and the
failure of Basel II, the industry is looking to the next wave of
regulatory change in Basel III with both interest and scepticism.
This book focuses on key policy issues during the transition of
bank regulation in Africa, from Basel I, to the global financial
crisis and collapse of Basel II, progressing towards the new
financial regulatory architecture embedded in Basel III. Bank
regulators in Africa, and commercial bankers on the continent, are
worried about many features of Basel III but their voices seem to
have gone unheard. This book reflects on the developments that led
to the demise of Basel I and II and introduces the new challenges
and opportunities constantly emerging in bank regulatory reform in
Africa.
This series arose out of the belief that the international
accounting literature should devote more attention to the study of
the accounting problems and issues of emerging economies
(developing and newly industrialized countries).
Through an increasing awareness of the real issues and the
accounting practices advocated in it, these works have become
relevant to the actual needs of its readers, and is making real
contributions to the accounting development process of emerging
economies.
The volumes presented aim to:
*Raise the level of interest in the specific problems of accounting
in emerging economies
*Increase awareness of real issues, so that accounting in these
countries will not just be seen as a matter of copying what is done
in the industrialized countries
*Provides an authoritative overview of the research and progress in
this field
Hardbound. This volume brings together a collection of research
papers on financial sector reform and privatization in the
transition economies of Eastern Europe and related issues in other
transforming economies.It represents a selection of invited papers
and best papers presented at various conferences and workshops held
in Estonia, Poland and The Netherlands. It is the work of leading
scientists, and thereby provides a very authoritative analysis of
the ongoing process of financial sector reforms and privatization
in transition economies. The main theoretical and empirical issues
are carefully brought out to bear on the pressing policy and
institutional schemes that are desirable in transition economies.

This text addresses the prospects and challenges of the free trade
area of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa. In a
broad context, therefore, it focuses on one of the most important
challenges to world trade in the 21st century, especially for
Africa and the developing world, namely the question of regional
trade integration. The most extant theoretical and empirical
aspects of the question are integrated with institutional and
policy issues. The analysis is illustrated through examples from a
sample of African economies. The book concludes by proposing the
vision and appropriate strategies for advancing the regional
trading arrangements by COMESA. It is hoped that the work will make
a timely contribution not only to our understanding of the
prospects and challenges of regional trading arrangements in Africa
but also to the paradigm of regional trade integration in
developing countries. The book is comprehensive in coverage and
attempts to strike a balance between the theory, evidence and
policy issues.
