Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free trade in manufactures is a reality in most industrial countries. There is little more to gain from further trade liberalization. But there is much to lose from any retreat fron the open multilateral trading system, or even from threats to it. To preserve the system, the benefits of free trade should be made more tangible through better domestic structural and macroeconomic policies that would raise growth rates and lower unemployment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Discussion Paper 225. This paper looks at the role protectionism has played in recent trade policy and its effect on growth and employment in the industrial countries. Not convinced of the benefits of free trade, some industrial countries still employ protectionism. But in recent years many have liberalized their trade policies and moved towards greater reliance on exports. The author analyzes trade policy within this context, paying particular attention to the case of the European Community (EC). He argues that contrary to popular opinion, the use of protectionist policies is in decline. The paper first looks at the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on imports over the course of the 1980s. EC protectionist policies such as the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are reviewed. The author then draws comparisons between the EC, Japan, and the United States. The case of imports from developing countries is examined separately in order to evaluate the hypothesis of discrimination against them by industrial economies. The relationships between trade, employment, and protectionism during the recent period of slow economic growth in the industrial countries is also discussed. The author concludes that while protectionism in the short run can ease pressures from competition, only through open trade and sound macroeconomic management can economies adapt to future trade challenges. A summary page in French is also included.

Download or read book Transition in Central and Eastern Europe written by A. Kuyvenhoven and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In less developed countries (LDCs) there is considerable concern that the developments in the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) may lead to a more inward looking European Union (EU). As EU trade, foreign investment and aid flows are diverted from LDCs towards the CEECs, close neighbours of the EU, a new dimension would be added to 'fortress Europe'. This volume consists of 11 chapters by scholars from the EU, the CEECs and LDCs. Each paper is discussed in terms of its policy relevance by a policy maker as well as by an academic specializing in the field. In the opening chapter we aim to do justice to the discussion during the Workshop in Rotterdam in May 1994 at which preliminary versions of all chapters were presented. Edited versions of the interventions by the policy makers and experts are included as far as possible after the chapters. A summary of the discussion is presented in the concluding remarks by Rolf Langhammer. The opinions expressed in this volume are those of the authors and not necessarily of their organizations. The editors XXI Foreword I am glad the first meeting of this network is on the developing country dimension of pan-European integration, for two reasons. Firstly, politi cal and economic liberalization in Central and Eastern Europe makes it possible, even necessary, to discuss such an issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper 249. These papers from a World Bank-sponsored seminar address two timely issues: water policy and water markets. The Bank has emphasized that water must be treated as an economic and social good. From a management viewpoint, countries should explore the efficient allocation of water through the use of pricing. Although pricing through markets has existed for some time, the use of these markets has not been widespread. This volume covers the traditional fields in water management. Section I discusses water policy in the Middle East, North Africa, and China's Yellow River Basin. The second section reviews the Bank's experience with irrigation and drainage and the attitudes of water resources professionals toward problems in this area. The final section targets the general aspects of water markets with case studies from Chile, Mexico, Spain, and the United States. The suitability of markets for Central Asia and the Indo- Gangetic basin is also examined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Discussion Paper No. 282. The establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) during the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations has greatly extended the reach of multilateral rules and disciplines, including those of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Under the WTO, services and intellectual property will for the first time be covered by a multilateral trade agreement. With many developing countries now seeking membership in GATT, accession may have far reaching consequences for the trade laws, policies, and institutions that exist in a particular country. This report examines the new rules and disciplines as outlined by the Uruguay Round and reviews three following multilateral treaties: GATT, the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), and the Agreement on Trade-related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs). It outlines the implications of WTO membership and assesses its policy disciplines. Finally, the report recommends practices for helping governments formulate the most effective trade policy allowed under WTO guidelines.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The recent and apparently broad move towards unilateral trade liberalization in the developing world has not been systematically documented, nor has comparative data been compiled. This study investigates the extent and character of trade reform in 32 countries in South Asia, East Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Changes in tariffs, non-tariffs barriers, foreign exchange controls, and export impediments between the mid-1980s and 1992/93 are discussed. Data are presented on changes in the level, range, and dispersion of tariffs, and coverage of quantitative restraints. Similarities and differences both within and between regions are evaluated." -- Website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International development is now a major global activity and the focus of the rapidly growing academic discipline of development studies. The Encyclopedia of International Development provides definitions and discussions of the key concepts, controversies and actors associated with international development for a readership of development workers, teachers and students. With 600 entries, ranging in length from shorter factual studies to more in-depth essays, a comprehensive system of cross references and a full index, it is the most definitive guide to international development yet published. Development is more than a simple increase in a country's wealth and living conditions. It also implies increasing people's choices and freedoms; it is change that is inclusive and empowering. Development theory and practice has important applications to questions of economic growth, trade, governance, education, healthcare, gender rights and environmental protection, and it involves issues such as international aid, peacekeeping, famine relief and strategies against HIV/AIDS. The Encyclopedia treats these topics and many more, and provides critical analyses of important actors within development such as the United Nations and World Bank, non-governmental organizations and corporations. Contributors to this volume reflect the multidisciplinary and international nature of the subject. They come from social science disciplines such as economics, international studies, political science and anthropology, and from specialities such as medicine. This Encyclopedia provides crucial information for universities, students and professional organizations involved with international development, and those interested in related topics such as international studies or other studies of social and economic change today.

This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning from Comparing is a major two-volume study which reassesses the contribution of comparative educational research and theory to our understanding of contemporary educational problems and to our capacity to solve them. At a time when educational research is under attack on the grounds of ‘bias’ and ‘irrelevance’, and under pressure to address only those questions which are acceptable politically (as good a definition of bias as any), this is a serious attempt to bridge the worlds of research, policy and practice. The editors have put together a collection – in terms of both perspective and nationality – which ensures contrasting viewpoints on each topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper looks at the way in which the pattern of disease is changing in developing countries, and the implications this has for the way in which primary health care (PHC) programs should be designed and managed. In the absence of an accepted methodology for discussing health management issues, it attempts to develop a conceptual framework suited to analyzing an environment of dynamic change. It applies this framework first to the management of primary health care programs provided by governments, and then to the role of the non-government sector in primary care. The paper draws broad clients. If the general approach adopted seems useful, the conceptual framework needs next to be applied to a series of specific country cases to test its validity and refine it, and to adapt the general conclusions to local cultural, administrative and political conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emphasizes the importance of designing a well-functioning intergovernmental fiscal system for achieving the reform objectives of economies in transition. This study explores the issues involved in redesigning intergovernmental relations in Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine, where extensive political and fiscal decentralization is now underway. The volume focuses on the elements of decentralization in the transitional economies that distinguish them from those in the rest of the world. The book shows that in the transition from a command to a market economy, designing a well-functioning intergovernmental fiscal system is a prerequisite for achieving other reform objectives: macroeconomic stability, private sector development, and a social safety net for those hurt by the transition. The study further demonstrates that a broader analytical framework than is conventionally involved in the study of intergovernmental finance is needed for analyzing fiscal issues in these economies.
