Book Synopsis Fuelling Economic Growth by : Michael Graham
Download or read book Fuelling Economic Growth written by Michael Graham and published by IDRC. This book was released on 2009 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The private sector is playing an increasingly important role in the funding of scientific research. As public sector research declines in the countries of the north and the south, research and development carried out by the private sector becomes more important for innovations that have economic potential. In some cases networks between local firms and multinationals can support learning which leads to economic growth. What are the policies which support such partnerships and what are the institutional arrangements that foster research? Seven case studies from Argentina, China, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Tanzania, Peru, the Philippines and Vietnam examine how policies have been developed and implemented to encourage innovation.

This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nivel global, ciudades buscan desarrollar soluciones de transporte asequibles, ecológicas y socialmente responsables que puedan satisfacer las necesidades de conectividad de las crecientes poblaciones metropolitanas y respaldar el futuro desarrollo económico y urbano. Cuando los sistemas ferroviarios urbanos se planifican e implementan adecuadamente como parte de una red de transporte público más amplia, éstis pueden brindar vías rápidas de movilidad y acceso vital a los centros urbanos desde la periferias. Los servicios ferroviarios urbanos de alto rendimiento, cuando se abordan cuidadosamente en el contexto de un proyecto de desarrollo, pueden ayudar a mejorar la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos brindándoles acceso a oportunidades laborales y servicios esenciales, tanto del entorno urbano inmediato como de comunidades vecinas. Este manual sintetiza y difunde conocimientos sobre planificación, implementación y operación de los proyectos ferroviarios urbanos para: i) destacar la necesidad de realizar estudios tempranos y planificar los proyectos, ii) contribuir a que los proyectos sean más sostenibles (desde el punto de vista económico, social y ambiental); iii) mejorar los beneficios socioeconómicos de los usuarios y el acceso de estos a distintas oportunidades; iv) maximizar el valor de la participación privada, cuando corresponda, y v) fortalecer la capacidad de las instituciones encargadas de la gestión e implementación de los proyectos. Se ofrece experiencia para lidiar con los desafíos técnicos, institucionales y financieros a los que se enfrentan los tomadores de decisiones de proyectos ferroviarios urbanos. Se reúnen los conocimientos especializados del personal del Banco Mundial y el aporte de numerosos especialistas para sintetizar buenas prácticas y recomendaciones basadas en experiencia global que no responden a intereses comerciales, financieros ni políticos, entre otros. El material presentado tiene como objetivo servir de guía imparcial para maximizar el impacto y afrontar los desafíos que conllevan los sistemas ferroviarios urbanos en las ciudades de países desarrollados y en desarrollo.

Book Synopsis Partnership and Transformation by : Leda Stott
Download or read book Partnership and Transformation written by Leda Stott and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-24 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 30 years, partnership has received growing attention across a range of sectors and disciplines. Widely used to describe a relationship in which different actors pool their resources, knowledge and skills to address common problems, partnership is currently presented as central to the achievement of more inclusive and sustainable development. Rejecting "one size fits all" approaches, and mindful of different understandings of the term, Partnership and Transformation: The Promise of Multi-stakeholder Collaboration in Context, which is designed to appeal to both academics and practitioners alike, argues that partnership must be understood in relation to specific contexts and the added value it may offer for individuals, organisations and wider society. It is further suggested that the transformational potential of partnership rests critically upon a move away from purely instrumental considerations of its worth to a deeper appreciation of its intrinsic value as a process based on interpersonal relationships. A stronger balance between pragmatic and reflective dimensions of partnership can, the author claims, enhance opportunities for meaningful deliberation and productive conflict and contribute to the systems change needed for a global citizenship that embraces human well-being and stewardship of the planet.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Productive Development by : Inter-American Development Bank
Download or read book Rethinking Productive Development written by Inter-American Development Bank and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Productive transformation requires seizing the opportunities available and opening new ones in a competitive world. Rethinking Productive Development examines the market failures impeding transformation and the government failures that may make the policy remedies worse than the market illness. To address market failures, the authors propose a simple conceptual framework based on the scope and nature of the policy approach. They then systematically analyze country policies through this lens in key areas such as innovation, new firms, financing, human capital, and internationalization to show the power of this way of thinking. Still, the book warns that policymakers cannot be sure what the right policy interventions are and must set up a process to discover them that calls for public-private collaboration. Recognizing that the risk of capture needs to be checked and that even the best policies will fail without the technical, organizational, and political capacity to implement them, the book concludes with ideas on how to design institutions fostering the right incentives and how to grow public sector capabilities over time.

This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study seeks to provide empirical evidence on the economic impacts that are generated through the Geographical Indication (GI) process beginning with the official recognition of a GI and the steps that follow. It focuses on the food sector and reviews nine cases, offering a variety of national contexts and local value chains. The approach, considers “operational” GI processes: those in which a code of practice (or specifications) is defined and the GI is used and managed by a collective organization. The synthetic outcome of these nine cases show the positive effect of GIs on the economy and confirm the importance of specification that is well defined and implemented through producers’ coordinated action.

Book Synopsis Breeding Latin American Tigers by : Robert Devlin
Download or read book Breeding Latin American Tigers written by Robert Devlin and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is motivated by the emerging rehabilitation of industrial policies as a tool for supporting economic transformation and high rates of growth in developing countries. It argues that underperforming disciples of the Washington Consensus 'market fundamentalism' should learn and practice the art of systemic industrial policies, which requires a medium-long term strategic perspective and intelligent proactive state interventions in markets. However, it also stresses that rehabilitation requires that industrial policies be developed and implemented in a context of home- grown public-private alliances that avoid state 'capture' by special interests. It first examines the 'how' of industrial policy in the public sectors of ten non-Latin American countries in Asia, Europe, and Oceania that have been successful in promoting economic catch-up with rich countries, or have performed better than Latin American countries with similar resource endowments. The book defines '10+1' generic First Principles for the use, design, and execution of modern industrial policies, and then examines the experiences of nine Latin American and Caribbean governments against these First Principles. The authors identify large gaps in the organizational and operational effectiveness of their public sectors, and suggest ways to close these gaps.

Book Synopsis G20 Inclusive Business Activities Summary Report by : G20
Download or read book G20 Inclusive Business Activities Summary Report written by G20 and published by United Nations Development Programme Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (UNDP IICPSD). This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inclusive Business (IB) was a central theme of the 2018 G20 Argentine Presidency. To supplement the G20’s Development Working Group’s efforts, the Inclusive Business Activities Summary Report was developed by the Inclusive Business Action Network (iBAN) and the UNDP, wherein 47 best-practice case studies of projects, initiatives, and policies are analysed. IB practices seek to build wealth with low-income people, who are often underserved by businesses, in a scalable and commercially viable manner. Extending the wealth-generating power of business to low-income communities is seen as an effective catalyst for lifting people out of poverty. Indeed, the report notes the importance of IB, remarking that; ‘the future of work and the successful implementation of the Agenda 2030 hinges on the inclusion of those at the so-called Base of the Economic Pyramid (BoP), who earn up to US$8 per day and constitute half of the World’s population.’ – p.4. The report provides insights on the IB activities undertaken by the member States of the G20, invited countries and International Organisations (IOs). The insights include IB activities in different sectors, funding mechanisms, and the forms of inclusion of individuals at the Base of the Pyramid (BoP). By providing perceptions on the enabling environment and connecting practitioners, the aim of this report is to help scale up IB and encourage the replication of good practices in more countries to accelerate their efforts to be more inclusive, ultimately helping to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The Inclusive Business Activities Summary Report outlines the theoretical underpinnings of IB whilst also analysing some illustrative examples. The report highlights how states are taking steps to create corporate environments that are conducive to the thriving of IBs. There are fantastic opportunities, both for material gain and global sustainable development, to be unlocked through IB, and this report helps to detail the roadmap for policymakers, investors, and businesses as they shift towards IB. Report Findings Within the 47 case studies, engaging with the BoP as suppliers and customers were the most prevalent IB practices (31 and 27 cases respectively, including overlapping cases). Moreover, the most popular sectors for BoP engagement were agriculture (29) and the manufacture and retail of consumer goods (21). Given that one of the designated aims of the report is to improve policy-maker’s understanding of IB, the report also addresses the intervention priorities of states seeking to overcome the four key barriers to a healthy IB ecosystem, these are; information (26% of projects), rules (12%), capacity (35%), and finance (27%). The case studies were selected by participating states and IOs, therefore a majority of the projects (28) were state-funded in origin, yet a significant proportion of cases (19) also received some private sector backing, with 39% of cases receiving a blend of two-or-more financing sources. 40% of the projects were domestically governed, thus demonstrating the faith that emerging economies have in IB as a means to enhance development aims. Case Studies The annex to the report provides a concise synopsis of each case study. Many of these examples take a multi-faceted ad multi-stakeholder approach to tackling barriers to IB; for example, the USA-led 2X Challenge unites Development Finance Institutions to mobilize $3bn USD to invest in women around the world and demonstrate best practices of transparency, accountability and sustainable investment policy. Other case studies present domestic initiatives by states to promote IB in very specific areas. For example, the Australian Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP) directly engages with Aboriginal communities as entrepreneurs and retailers. It seeks to leverage the Commonwealth’s procurement spending to facilitate Indigenous inclusion in value chains through setting targets for contracts with Indigenous Businesses, as well as providing minimum targets for Indigenous involvement in large-scale projects. In 2018, the IPP has helped to secure 3,291 contracts for 723 Indigenous businesses worth $205m USD. IB presents an exciting opportunity for businesses to take an active role in achieving the SDGs and will remain a core thematic area for the G20 Development Working Group (DWG) going forward.

Book Synopsis Mexico's Economic Dilemma by : James M. Cypher
Download or read book Mexico's Economic Dilemma written by James M. Cypher and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two leading scholars, this book provides a detailed analysis of Mexico's political economy. James M. Cypher and Raúl Delgado Wise begin with an examination of Mexico's pivotal economic crisis of the 1980s and the consequent turn toward an export-led economy, later anchored by NAFTA. They show how Mexico, after abandoning frequently successful past practices of state-led development, disastrously tied its future to an unconditional reliance on foreign corporations to promote an export-led growth strategy. Focusing on Mexico's cheap labor export model, the authors use the maquiladora sector and the auto industry as case studies of the perils of globalization—the "race to the bottom" as capital becomes ever more international. The government's unconstrained free-market policies, they convincingly argue, have resulted in a fragmented economy marked by stagnation, falling wages, informal part-time employment, and massive migration, which define daily life for all but a tiny minority.
