Broschur. Condition: Neu. The articles in this volume each in their own way question that process referred to - often unthinkingly - as development. Some question the core notion of development and critically examine the justifications for intervening in developing countries. Other papers explore the background and history of theories that guide development cooperation. A third set of papers explores specific policies, or a particular development intervention practice. Questioning the conventional wisdom is their common denominator. The contributors to this volume are academics based in universities in Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland, and practitioners from NGOs in the Netherlands and Thailand, and from different parts of the UN system. Hence, the papers will interest both professionals in developed and developing countries directly dealing with development cooperation, and theoreticians working on such fundamental issues as international trade, structural adjustment policies, or the ethics of economic practice.

Prebisch and Singer found a fall in the prices of developing countries primary commodities relative to those of British manufactured goods. From their work three branches of literature emerged. First a statistical debate did arise in regard to the question whether or not developing countries terms of trade are really falling. Second a series of theoretical models were developed in which terms of trade changes over time could be explained. Third the policy consequences of falling terms of trade were discussed mainly the question whether a fall in the terms of trade should lead to industrialization policies. Our paper tries to contribute to the first branch of literature. The aim of the book is to cover the history of economic thought the evidence and the theorizing of the Prebisch singer thesis. jacket.…

Broschur. Condition: Neu. Dieses Buch liefert - im Gegensatz zu den meisten Beiträgen zur internationalen Verschuldungskrise - eine umfassende, theoretisch und empirisch fundierte Analyse der Ursachen von Verschuldungskrisen. Es zeichnet sich aus durch das kritische Gegenüberstellen verschiedener Denkrichtungen und Theorien und durch deren Konfrontation mit Empirie und Geschichte. Diese Integration von Theorie, Empirie und Wirtschaftspolitik erlaubt es, Antworten auf zwei wichtige Fragen zu geben: Mit welchen quantitativen Instrumenten können sich Banken vor zukünftigen Krisen schützen? Und: Welchen Beitrag muß die Wirtschaftspolitik in Zukunft leisten? Eine theoretisch orientierte Darstellung führt den Leser zunächst durch das Weltbankmodell, die neoklassische dynamische Theorie internationaler Kapitalbewegungen, frühe Erklärungsansätze der Zeit von 1982-86, die Theorie der spekulativen Angriffe sowie der Liquiditäts- und Solvenzprobleme und die Theorie souveräner Schuldner. Jede dieser Theorien wird dargestellt und theoretisch wie empirisch überprüft. In diesem Theorieteil werden mathematische Techniken nur dann angewendet, wenn dies zur Ableitung neuer Erkenntnisse notwendig ist. Nach der Diskussion aus einer theoretischen Perspektive wird die Verschuldungskrise aus wirtschaftshistorischer Sicht betrachtet. Die Krise von 1982 wird mit früheren Krisen verglichen. Den Erklärungen aus historischer Perspektive werden theoretische Erkenntnisse kritisch gegenüber gestellt, um die Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den verschiedenen Krisen herauszuarbeiten. Da die 1982er Krise in Entwicklungsländern stattgefunden hat, werden die theoretischen und empirischen Erkenntnisse, die in den ersten Teilen des Buches entwickelt wurden, mit entwicklungsökonomischen Gedankengängen modelltheoretisch verknüpft. Daraus ergibt sich eine neue modelltheoretische Analyse der Verschuldungskrise, die Elemente des Weltbankmodells, der Prebisch-Singer Theorie, und der modernen Empirie und Theorie der internationalen Kapitalmärkte verbindet.…

Paperback. Condition: New. 2020 ed. This book offers an authoritative analysis of the state-of-the art in energy and climate research and policy. It starts by describing the current status of technologies that are expected to have an influence on the energy systems of the future. For an adequate evaluation, it presents the latest findings on the effects of energy supply and consumption as well as of the emissions on both the environment and people's health. This is followed by an extensive discussion of the economic and social problems related to climate change, the need for energy transitions, and other issues that may require public investment and international agreements. The book reviews the problem of energy policy from a global perspective, providing readers with the technical, political, economic and ethical background needed to understand the current situation and work at better solutions for a sustainable, just and prospering world.…
