Book excerpt: Two-thirds of the population of the world are poor, and their number is growing in the first as well as in the third world, despite billions of dollars of aid. The economic development policies of the last two decades, and the theory which gave rise to them, have been discredited. The rich are disillusioned, apprehensive or uninterested, while the poor are embittered and without hope, the victims and agents of ignorance, instability and environmental degradation. The need for radical rethinking is urgent: this book makes an important contribution towards that end. John Friedmann argues that poverty should be seen not merely in material terms, but as social, political and psychological powerlessness. He presents the case for an alternative development committed to empowering the poor in their own communities, and to mobilizing them for political participation on a wider scale. In contrast to centralized development policies devised and implemented at the national and international level, alternative development restores the initiative to those in need, on the grounds that unless people have an active role in directing their own destinies long-term progress will not be achieved. The author takes the household as the strategic starting-point - stressing its moral, political and economic potential - as a source of continuity and as a location for production. From this basis he propounds a politics of emancipation that would enable the disempowered poor to assert their rights. Empowerment provides a morally-informed theoretical framework for a development policy that meets the needs of its recipients rather than of its makers.

This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economic crisis of 2008-2009 exposed systemic failings at the core of economic policy making worldwide. The crisis came on top of several other crises, including skyrocketing and highly volatile world food and energy prices and climate change. This book argues that new policy approaches are needed to address such devastating global development challenges and to avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences to livelihoods worldwide that would result from present approaches. The contributors to the book are independent development experts, brought together by the UN to identify a development strategy capable of promoting a broad-based economic recovery and at the same time guaranteeing social equity and environmental sustainability both within countries and internationally. This new development approach seeks to promote the reforms needed to improve global governance, providing a more equitable distribution of global public goods. The contributors offer a critical evaluation of past development experiences and report on their creative search for new and well-thought out answers for the future. They suggest that economic progress, fairer societies and environmental sustainability can be compatible objectives, but only when pursued simultaneously by all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Third world states apply alternative development strategies in their struggle to benefit from a changing international division of labour. Multinationals play key roles in both the new internationalisation of capital and in the new third world development strategies. In order to capture the complex interaction among multinationals, development strategies and class alliances as well as their impacts on development, Alschuler here offers a new conceptual framework which incorporates features of dependency theory and world system analysis.

Download or read book Developmental Local Governance written by Eris D. Schoburgh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this edited collection is to evaluate critically the relationship between local government and national economic development. It focuses on how the relationship between local government and development is structured, and the specific institutional arrangements at national and subnational levels that might facilitate local government's assumption of the role of development agent. In light of the contradictory outcomes of development and implied experimentation with new modalities, post-development discourse provides a useful explanatory framework for the book. Schoburgh, Martin and Gatchair's central argument is that the pursuit of national developmental goals is given a sustainable foundation when development planning and strategies take into account elements that have the potential to determine the rate of social transformation. Their emphasis on localism establishes a clear link between local government and local economic development in the context of developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the use of multisector models as tools for analyzing the relationship between alternative development strategies, growth, and structural change in a developing country. The paper first considers the evolution of general equilibrium models used for development planning, including input-output models and the recent computable general equilibrium models. The discussion focuses on the applicability of different models to different institutional and policy environments. In the second part of the paper, two models are used to analyze the macroeconomic and sectoral consequences of alternative development strategies. The two models are applied to the 1963-73 period in South Korea and are then used to simulate the impact of an alternative strategy of inward-looking development based on lower export growth and extensive import substitution. While the broad results are similar, the mechanisms embodied in the two models are quite different. A comparison of the empirical results and of the behavioral assumptions in the two models illustrates the range of issues that can be fruitfully investigated with different types of multisector models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost two decades of research in U.S. city politics has produced a compelling empirical account of the nature of urban governance revolving around the alliance of business interests and local public officials. In Reconstructing City Politics, author David L. Imbroscio urges that urban political economy must now move forward beyond the question of "what is?" to a consideration of "what might be?" He systematically poses the possibilities for reconstructing the nature of contemporary city politics, while integrating a wealth of innovative urban analysis. To bring about this reconstruction, Imbroscio explores three comprehensive alternative urban economic development strategies--entrepreneurial mercantilism, community based economic development, and municipal enterprise. He considers whether these three strategies are likely to be effective for bringing about urban economic vitality and whether it is feasible for cities to pursue these efforts in the current political economic context. By addressing these questions, Imbroscio is able to reach conclusions about the possibilities for a successful and sustainable reconstruction of U.S. city politics. This important volume will be vital for professionals and and researchers in urban planning, urban studies, urban and regional economics, as well as urban politics.

Book excerpt: In Sept. 1999, the gov¿t. of Colombia announced a strategy, known as "Plan Colombia," to (1) reduce the production of illicit drugs (primarily cocaine) by 50% in 6 years; and (2) improve security in Colombia by re-claiming control of areas held by illegal armed groups. Since FY 2000, the U.S. has provided over $6 billion to support Plan Colombia. This report examined: (1) the progress made toward Plan Colombia's drug reduction and enhanced security objectives; (2) the results of U.S. aid for the military and police; (3) the results of U.S. aid for non-military programs; and (4) the status of efforts to "nationalize" or transfer operations and funding responsibilities for U.S.-supported programs to Colombia.
