Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and Korean Development Institute publication Global Leadership in Transition calls for innovations that would "institutionalize" or consolidate the G20, helping to make it the global economy's steering committee. The emergence of the G20 as the world's premier forum for international economic cooperation presents an opportunity to improve economic summitry and make global leadership more responsive and effective, a major improvement over the G8 era. "Key contributors to this volume were well ahead of their time in advocating summit meetings of G20 leaders. In this book, they now offer a rich smorgasbord of creative ideas for transforming the G20 from a crisis-management committee to a steering group for the international system that deserves the attention of those who wish to shape the future of global governance."—C.

Book Synopsis Selection of Decision-Making Models in Intergovernmental Organizations: A Poliheuristic Approach to Political Regime Type Influence by : Timothy Tamutana Tamunang
Download or read book Selection of Decision-Making Models in Intergovernmental Organizations: A Poliheuristic Approach to Political Regime Type Influence written by Timothy Tamutana Tamunang and published by Miraclaire Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, Political Psychology of International Relations has attracted very few scholars’ attention in explaining states behaviors and attitudes as a juridical person. In reality, international relations scholarly works, especially related to Intergovernmental organizations, have shown that rational, structural, and functional accounts have failed to fully capture the underline nature of these institutions. A poliheuristic approach doesn’t only solve these theoretical shortcomings but also allows for the close examination of states attitudes and behaviors in making choices that would serve as tools for expected interests. This gives a chance to retrospect: how were these bodies created, what were the environmental factors that led to their formations and the nature of founders. Since organizations are adepts of metamorphosis, it is interesting to watch their overall changes. This book present not only the existing views within the subject but also provides additional information which the author has proven to be relevant.
Book Synopsis China’s Challenges and International Order Transition by : Huiyun Feng
Download or read book China’s Challenges and International Order Transition written by Huiyun Feng and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s Challenges and International Order Transition introduces an integrated conceptual framework of “international order” categorized by three levels (power, rules, and norms) and three issue-areas (security, political, and economic). Each contributor engages one or more of these analytical dimensions to examine two questions: (1) Has China already challenged this dimension of international order? (2) How will China challenge this dimension of international order in the future? The contested views and perspectives in this volume suggest it is too simple to assume an inevitable conflict between China and the outside world. With different strategies to challenge or reform the many dimensions of international order, China’s role is not a one-way street. It is an interactive process in which the world may change China as much as China may change the world. The aim of the book is to broaden the debate beyond the “Thucydides Trap” perspective currently popular in the West. Rather than offering a single argument, this volume offers a platform for scholars, especially Chinese scholars vs. Western scholars, to exchange and debate their different views and perspectives on China and the potential transition of international order.

Book Synopsis The Global Outlook for Government Debt Over the Next 25 Years by : Joseph E. Gagnon
Download or read book The Global Outlook for Government Debt Over the Next 25 Years written by Joseph E. Gagnon and published by Peterson Institute. This book was released on 2011-06-15 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study addresses a fundamentally new feature of the contemporary world economy: the simultaneous buildup of very large public deficits and debt positions in virtually all of the advanced high-income countries. The recent global financial crisis sharply accelerated this fiscal deterioration, but it was already well underway in some countries, including the United States, where demographic prospects had posed extremely worrisome trajectories for a number of years. The book has three basic objectives. First, it projects the global fiscal outlook to 2035. Second, it asks whether the combination of deficits and debt in a large number of countries at the same time produces an impact on the world economy that is qualitatively different from the more traditional emergence of such problems in one or a few countries in any given period. Third, it analyzes the effects of the fiscal prospects on key economic variables including global interest rates and growth rates. The analysis finds that the current public debt profiles in most advanced economies will grow to dangerous and unsustainable levels over the next couple of decades unless major changes are made in projected spending and revenue levels. The authors conclude that the United States and Japan, in particular, need to start planning now for significant future budget cuts to minimize the risk of a crisis. Acting soon enables the adjustment to be phased in over an extended period, which cushions the inevitable adjustment costs, while avoiding the potentially enormous pressures that could be levied by markets if correction is delayed too long.
Book Synopsis Transatlantic Economic Challenges in an Era of Growing Multipolarity by : Jacob F. Kirkegaard
Download or read book Transatlantic Economic Challenges in an Era of Growing Multipolarity written by Jacob F. Kirkegaard and published by Peterson Institute. This book was released on 2012 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifts in global economic dominance are by nature tectonic and never precipitated by single events. The Great Recession of 2008–09, however, has presented the European Union, its common currency the euro, and the United States with new global challenges. The transatlantic partnership has dominated the world economy since the early 20th century and, based upon US and European values and interests, has designed and sustained all its principal global political and economic institutions. But countries outside the European Union and United States now account for about half of the world economy, and in the aftermath of the Great Recession their share is growing rapidly. Hence their increasing role and concomitant demands for greater influence over global economic governance pose a series of challenges and opportunities to the European Union and the United States, as illustrated by the eclipse of the G-8 by the G-20. The contributions in this volume by subject area experts from the Peterson Institute for International Economics and Bruegel ponder how or whether the rise of outside actors of potentially equal, or even greater, economic weight will invariably force a rethinking of not only how the European Union and the United States should conduct policy externally towards the new rising economic poles, but also of the substantive contents of the EU-US bilateral economic and political relationship.

Author :Anders Aslund Publisher :Peterson Institute for International Economics ISBN 13 :0881327026 Total Pages :318 pages Book Rating :4.8/5 (813 download)
Download or read book Ukraine written by Anders Aslund and published by Peterson Institute for International Economics. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ukraine has been wracked by a year of unprecedented political, economic, and military turmoil. Russian military aggression in the east and a legacy of destructive policies and corruption have created an imminent existential crisis for this young democracy. Yet Ukraine also has a great opportunity to break out of economic underperformance. In this study, Anders Åslund, one of the world's leading experts on Ukraine, traces Ukraine's evolution as a market economy starting with the fall of communism and examines the economic impact of its recent difficulties. Åslund argues that Ukraine must undertake sweeping political, economic, social, and government reforms to achieve prosperity and independence. For its part, the West must abandon its hesitant approach and provide broad economic assistance to help Ukraine transform itself.

Download or read book After the Washington Consensus: Restarting Growth and Reform in Latin America written by and published by Peterson Institute. This book was released on with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the nature of the economic policy agenda that the region should be pursuing after the better part of a decade that was punctuated by crises, achieved disappointingly slow growth, and saw no improvement in the region's highly skewed income distribution. Diagnoses the first-generation (liberalizing and stabilizing) reforms that are still lacking, the complementary second-generation (institutional) reforms that are necessary to provide the institutional infrastructure of a market economy with an egalitarian bias, and the new initiatives that are needed to crisis-proof the economies of the region to end its perpetual series of crises.
Book Synopsis Africa and IMF Conditionality by : Kwame Akonor
Download or read book Africa and IMF Conditionality written by Kwame Akonor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghana was one of the first African countries to adopt a comprehensive IMF reform program and the one that has sustained adjustment longest. Yet, questions of Ghana's compliance - to what extent did it comply, how did it manage compliance, what patterns of non-compliance existed, and why? - have not been systematically investigated and remain poorly understood. This book argues that understanding the domestic political environment is crucial in explaining why compliance, or the lack thereof, occurs. Akonor maintains that compliance with IMF conditionality in Ghana has had high political costs and thus, non-compliance occurred once the political survival of a regime was at stake.
