Book Synopsis Panama at the Crossroads by : Andrew Zimbalist
Download or read book Panama at the Crossroads written by Andrew Zimbalist and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 1989, the United States invaded Panama, deposed its government, and established another in its place. While this act of violent intervention brought Panama to public attention, the justifications for it obscured the underlying instabilities that have plagued the country throughout its history. Although a stated purpose of the invasion was to remove one man, Manuel Noriega, from power, Panama at the Crossroads demonstrates that the crisis sweeping Panama in the late 1980s was not caused by one man, but in fact derived from the history of U.S. domination and the nature of Panamanian society itself. Panama is located at a crucial geographic crossroads, a fact that has greatly influenced the country's history since the sixteenth century. Labor scarcity and inhospitable terrain, joined with its location, contributed to the mercantile orientation of Panama's economy. Accordingly, the country's politics and economics have been consistently dominated by foreign trading interests, first from Spain, then Colombia and the United States. Now in the 1990s, Panama stands at a historical and economic crossroads, and according to Zimbalist and Weeks its traditional entrepôt institutions are no longer able to promote and sustain growth. Before building the basis for long-term economic expansion, Panama must first undo the devastating economic and political damage engendered by nearly three years of U.S. economic sanctions and the U.S. invasion. In this timely book, Zimbalist and Weeks document the origins and characteristics of this crossroads. Their analysis points the way to a more encompassing and equitable strategy for Panama's economic development.

Panama has had exceptional growth over recent decades. A growth diagnostic exercise suggests that Panama is well placed to maintain this business model. Higher-quality education, stronger governance, and less bureaucracy will further strengthen Panama’s comparative advantage.

Book Synopsis Panama’s Growth Prospects by : Ms.Kimberly Beaton
Download or read book Panama’s Growth Prospects written by Ms.Kimberly Beaton and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper estimates medium-term potential growth for a country undergoing significant structural and secular changes. Our forward-looking framework, incorporating three analytical approaches for examining economic prospects, constitutes an important complement to typical backward-looking methods that filter or extrapolate historical data. In particular, the opening of the expanded Panama Canal in 2016 highlights significant structural changes underway in the Panamanian economy. We first analyze growth determinants and find that Panama is well-placed to maintain its business model, with improvements in education and governance important to support growth. Second, the current pipeline of investment projects can help sustain investment-led growth, although at a more moderate pace. Third, further development of the logistics and tourism sectors holds promise to further build on Panama’s comparative advantage.

This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The opening of the expanded Panama Canal marks a unique opportunity to reevaluate Panama’s growth model. This paper reassesses Panama’s business model founded on its ability to be an attractive destination for international financial, business, and transportation services. A growth diagnostic exercise suggests that Panama is well-placed to maintain this business model, with improvements in the quality of education, a strengthening of governance, and reductions in bureaucracy important to further strengthen Panama’s comparative advantage. Additional analysis suggests that investment will continue to support growth, while the logistics and tourism sectors hold promise to further build on Panama’s comparative advantage.
Download or read book The Big Ditch written by Noel Maurer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-08 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incisive economic and political history of the Panama Canal On August 15, 1914, the Panama Canal officially opened for business, forever changing the face of global trade and military power, as well as the role of the United States on the world stage. The Canal's creation is often seen as an example of U.S. triumphalism, but Noel Maurer and Carlos Yu reveal a more complex story. Examining the Canal's influence on Panama, the United States, and the world, The Big Ditch deftly chronicles the economic and political history of the Canal, from Spain's earliest proposals in 1529 through the final handover of the Canal to Panama on December 31, 1999, to the present day. The authors show that the Canal produced great economic dividends for the first quarter-century following its opening, despite massive cost overruns and delays. Relying on geographical advantage and military might, the United States captured most of these benefits. By the 1970s, however, when the Carter administration negotiated the eventual turnover of the Canal back to Panama, the strategic and economic value of the Canal had disappeared. And yet, contrary to skeptics who believed it was impossible for a fledgling nation plagued by corruption to manage the Canal, when the Panamanians finally had control, they switched the Canal from a public utility to a for-profit corporation, ultimately running it better than their northern patrons. A remarkable tale, The Big Ditch offers vital lessons about the impact of large-scale infrastructure projects, American overseas interventions on institutional development, and the ability of governments to run companies effectively.

Book Synopsis What Roosevelt Took by : Noel Maurer
Download or read book What Roosevelt Took written by Noel Maurer and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Panama Canal was one of the largest public investments of its time. In the first decade of its operation, the Canal produced significant social returns for the United States. Most of these returns were due to the transportation of petroleum from California to the East Coast. Few of these returns, however, accrued to the Panamanian population or government. U.S. policy deliberately operated to minimize the effects of the Canal on the Panamanian economy. The major exception to this policy was the American anti-malarial campaign, which improved health conditions in the port cities.
Book Synopsis Panama's Contributions to the Development of the United States' Capital Accumulation and Power by : Winston Malcolm

This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As individuals in an increasingly global society heavily dependent on international trade, it is important to learn and understand, from a historical perspective, the significant contributions that individual countries make for the benefit of others. For almost two centuries, as a result of close economic and security ties, the United States and Panama have had such a special relationship. This book presents some of the most significant economic contributions Panama has made to the United States, since before the California Gold Rush to the expansion of the Panama Canal, including current efforts to develop Panama as a mining hub, and the ongoing efforts to convert Panama into one of the most important centers of technology and logistics in the world for facilitating the movement of people, goods and services in pursuit of greater profits and capital accumulation, and as a base for sustaining military and political power in the world.
