Book SynopsisThis book provokes fresh ways of thinking about small developing States within the transnational legal order for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism and proliferation (TAMLO).From the global wars on drugs and terror to journalistic exposÃs such as the âParadiseâ, âPanamaâ and âPandoraâ Papers, the Commonwealth Caribbean has been discursively stigmatised as a mythical island paradise of ârogueâ States. Not infrequently, their exercise of regulatory self-determination has been presented as the selling of their economic sovereignty to facilitate shady business deals and illicit finance from high-net-worth individuals, kleptocrats, tax-dodgers, organised crime networks and terrorist financiers. This book challenges conventional wisdom that Commonwealth Caribbean States are among the âweakest linksâ within the global ecosystem to counter illicit finance. It achieves this by unmasking latent interests, and problematising coercive extraterritorial regulatory an

Book SynopsisTracing the development journey of the Arabian Gulf region with a forward-looking perspective, this book describes how a combination of good fortune, creative experimentation, and determination has enabled the region to achieve prosperity. Today, the Arabian Gulf is well positioned to assume a pivotal role in the new global order. Forced to balance an extreme climate and acute resource constraints, but also an exceptional location, the region's progress and prosperity have historically been precarious and vulnerable to external shocks. Efforts to transcend resource dependency have typically involved proactive attempts to enable other economic activities. This book argues that, while conventional economic diversification is making headway, the Gulf region is in fact amidst a far more holistic transformation that positions it for a pivotal role in the emerging multipolar global order. It now offers globally competitive regulations and world-class infrastructure at the heTrade Review"A journey through history explained under the lens of sustainable prosperity, economic diversification and the evolution within the marketplace. Jarmo’s storytelling takes you through the journey as an active listener. The storyline brings back fond memories and is quite nostalgic for the readers who have experienced and worked through the transitions within the regional marketplace over the past decades. The transition across the region has been quite exceptional, and the fact that the modern day GCC today holds the potential to be one of the fastest growing regions and to emerge as a powerhouse for influence is expertly expressed through Dr. Jarmo’s wordsmithing."Jamal Fakhro, Managing Partner, KPMG Fakhro"When Jarmo speaks (or writes), I pay attention. I find his thoughts, analysis, and conclusions insightful and thought-provoking. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants a better understanding of our region’s past and wants to help build a better tomorrow for its future generations."Suhail Algosaibi, Founder and CEO, Falak Innovation"Dr Kotilaine has produced a compelling narrative of the economic history of the Arab Gulf from the earliest times to the 21st Century, including the extraordinary rags-to-riches story of the hydrocarbons era and describes with great clarity both the challenges and the potential opportunities that face these now-wealthy, but still largely hydrocarbon-dependent, states as they prepare for the post-oil age. This is a book that will fascinate the general reader, while also providing vital historical and cultural context to anyone who (like me) needs to understand the complex economic challenges that this region now faces."Lord Philip Hammond of Runnymede"Dr Kotilaine is considered a leading expert on the Gulf economies. His intimate knowledge of, not only economic issues, but also the underlying sociopolitical landscape and culture, make him uniquely qualified to shed the light on key aspects of the post oil transition. Recommended reading."Hassan Jarrar, Former CEO, Bahrain Islamic Bank "This work demonstrates how ongoing efforts to transform the economic models of the Gulf countries at the same time position them for a role of growing importance in the global economy. Among other things, the Gulf economies face a compelling opportunity to play a leading role in the global energy transition."Abdulhussain Ali Mirza, Former Minister of Electricity and Water Affairs, Former President, Sustainable Energy Authority, Kingdom of Bahrain "Jarmo Kotilaine's new book presents a lucid, coherent analysis and history of the transformation of the GCC countries from near empty, desert spaces into modern powerhouses of energy and finance. This is a fascinating story of energy resources being invested into productive infrastructure, of economic liberalisation through free zones, of freedom of movement of people and capital that transformed the economic geography of the Gulf. The GCC are now embarked on economic diversification 2.0, engaged in an energy transition to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, develop their digital economies and move into higher value-added industries using modern tech."Nasser Saidi, President, Nasser Saidi & Associates"The Gulf countries are important actors in geopolitics and geo-economics thanks to their energy resources. This book will help readers, whatever their views on the local regimes, understand the history of the gulf economies and how they are preparing for a world less dependent on fossil fuels. Given fractures in the world order, an important read."Sir Paul Tucker, Author of Global Discord"Dr. Jarmo has a long experience in the region's economic affairs. The importance of this new book stems from its handling of a number of vital issues related to the future of sustainable development programs that Gulf governments are working to implement in accordance with their wise long-term visions, and then he seeks to develop solutions to them."Adnan Ahmed Yousif, Chairman, Bahrain Association of Banks Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis book brings to life the remarkable stories of five exceptional international development leaders and influencers: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Domingo Cavallo, Ela Bhatt, Dzingai Mutumbuka, and Adolfo Figueroa. Together, their experiences and accomplishments challenge us to rethink conventional notions of leadership and international development and to reflect on how others from Africa, Asia, and Latin America will change the world in the years ahead. Drawing on the author's decades-long relationships with each of the five, the book tells how they overcame incredible barriers and dreadful odds to rise from ordinary and challenged backgrounds to achieve extraordinary impact in important roles, both in their countries and globally. With original firsthand insights, the book explores the character-revealing decisions they made, confronting moral dilemmas between protecting their country, their career, their values, and even their lives when threatened by corrupt antagonists. The boTrade Review"This is a book about five people who have made the world a better place, written by someone who knows both the world and the people he is writing about. The book documents how—by imagining the impossible and inspiring others around them—seemingly ordinary people can do extraordinary things. Today, more than ever, the world needs more leaders like Adolfo Figueroa, Ela Bhatt, Domingo Cavallo, Dzingai Mutumbuka, and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and more writers like David de Ferranti to inspire thousands with their stories."Indermit Gill, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President for Development Economics of the World Bank Group. Formerly at the Brookings Institution, Duke University, Georgetown University and the University of Chicago."There are thousands of books recommending development policies, but few on the policymakers implementing them. De Ferranti has written a wonderful book one about five of them: people with vision and ambition, facing a complex political environment, taking risks, committing mistakes but, in the end, making a positive difference."Santiago Levy, Brookings Institution. Former Chief Economist and Vice President for Sectors and Knowledge at the Inter-American Development Bank. Former Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit of Mexico. Former tenured Associate Professor of Economics at Boston University"It is hard enough to convey the essence of one person’s character but David de Ferranti manages to achieve this for five remarkable people. Their lives, the achievements and the disappointments, hold valuable lessons for anyone interested in understanding what constitutes leadership in challenging times." Masood Ahmed, President of the Center for Global Development. Formerly a Director at the International Monetary Fund. Former Director General, Policy and International at the UK government's Department for International Development (DFID)"Combining page-turner verve with painstaking research, this engrossing exploration of the true stories of five remarkable individuals will captivate anyone, whether they know a lot or nothing about its subject matter -- global development and the ways that Africa, Asia, and Latin America will change the world in the decades ahead.

Currently CEO of Investisseurs et Partenaires (I&P), Member of the National Academy of Technologies of France (Académie des Technologies), and Senior Fellow at FERDI (Foundation for Studies and Research on International Development)"De Ferranti, after decades with a front row seat or in the driver’s seat in the field of international development, illustrates through the lives of five remarkable individuals one of the key drivers of change: learn as much as possible, go home, and do everything that is possible."Jorge Quiroga, Former President of Bolivia. Previously, acted as Vice-President and Finance Minister of Bolivia. Former Vice-President of The Club de Madrid."Individuals make a difference and can help improve the wellbeing of whole communities. This is the central message of this book.

This makes for a truly inspiring reading experience for anyone interested in human nature, including for the non-specialist of international development."Olivier Lafourcade, Chairman of the Board of Investisseurs et Partenaires (I&P) and a former Director at the World Bank."This book on the trajectory of five remarkable leaders from Africa, Asia and Latin America is a wonderful and inspirational book to read. These five leaders were able to make great contributions to development in their countries thanks to their vision, clear priorities and ability to urgently implement audacious reforms and policies. As clearly highlighted by de Ferranti, their strong convictions, sense of opportunity, perseverance and ethical values are indeed a source of inspiration for future leaders worldwide.”Enrique Garcia, Former President of CAF Development Bank of Latin America, former Minister of Planning and Coordination and Head of the Economic and Social Cabinet of Bolivia, former Treasurer of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Book SynopsisSince the 1970s, we have witnessed unprecedented diff usion of digital technologies in both speed and geographic coverage. These technologies are pervasive and disruptive, and lead to profound shifts and transformations in societies and economies. Many claim that emerging network externalities are the principal phenomenon driving the process of technology diff usion and determining its in-time dynamics.This book analyzes the unique role network eff ects play in the process of digital technology diff usion. Using the time span of 19802022 and data from over 180 countries, the authors examines the strength and determinants of emerging network externalities in the process of digital technology diffusion across the world. Moreover, using international case studies it traces the process of technology convergence and technology convergence club formation, intending to answer whether cross-country gaps are diminishing or rather growing, and if countries form unique clubs' within whi

Book SynopsisMore than one billion people still live below the poverty line most of them in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Financial inclusion is a major issue, as more than three-quarters of the numbers of poor and disadvantaged women and men do not have access to financial products and services, such as bank accounts, affordable and suitable loans, and insurance. The key objective of this book is to provide practical case studies of financial inclusion, rather than focus on academic debates such as the ideological basis of promoting microfinance. Using the recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals as an overall framing of the issues, it shows how poor and disadvantaged women and men can be bankable if the right facilitation for maximizing opportunities and addressing constraints are in place. Case studies confirm that achieving inclusive and sustainable access to financial products and services goes beyond simply enabling poor and disadvantaged women and men to have access to Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisIn a globalized world economy, delivering the aspirations of sustainability is proving to be difficult. Progress is held back by competing objectives within a complex interplay of factors. Finding solutions to the wicked problem' of sustainability seems to be beyond the reach of policy makers. Even if the political will can be found to deal with the prime challenges of the twenty-first century, ranging from climate change and resource depletion to persistent poverty and increasing inequity, what is to be done in terms of real-world policy is far from clear.Do we need more globalization; or has economic globalization gone too far in growing a global economy which will strip the planet bare?

Book SynopsisThe Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has established itself as one of the most powerful private forces in global politics, shaping the trajectories of international policy-making. Driven by fierce confidence and immense expectations about its ability to change the world through its normative and material power, the foundation advances an agenda of social and economic change through technological innovation. And it does so while forming part of a movement that refocuses efforts towards private influence on, and delivery of, societal progress.The Gates Foundation's Rise to Power is an urgent exploration of one of the world's most influential but also notoriously sealed organizations. As the first book to take us inside the walls of the foundation, it tells a story of dramatic organizational change, of diverging interests and influences, and of choices with consequences beyond the expected. Based on extensive fieldwork inside and around the foundation, the book explores Trade Review"This is by far the best and most balanced account of the Gates Foundation and its role in the world. A must-read for anyone with an interest in politics, economics, non-profit studies and international relations." — Michael Edwards, Editor of Transformation"Fejerskov's impressive study is the first to fully capture the complex ideas, hybrid identities and diverse practices of the Gates Foundation. Clearly written and carefully researched, this highly original account deserves to be read by everyone with an interest in finding out more about this important and controversial new player in global development." — David Lewis, Professor, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK"Offering powerful new insights into organizational life and the life of organizations, this original book artfully illuminates the internal and external forces that explain why "organizations rarely stand still". With it, Fejerskov makes a significant contribution to sociological theory." — Rachel Schurman, Professor, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, USA"Fejerskov provides critical insights into the internal complexities and changes of the Gates Foundation.

Book SynopsisOver the last two decades the expanding role of Southern countries as development partners has led to tectonic shifts in global development ideas, practices, norms and actors. Researchers are faced with new questions around identity, power and positionality in global development. Researching South-South Development Cooperation examines this rapidly growing and complex phenomenon, asking to what extent existing assumptions, conceptual frameworks and definitions of ''development'' need to be reframed in the context of researching this new landscape. This interdisciplinary book draws on voices from across the Global South and North to explore the epistemological and related methodological challenges and opportunities associated with researching South-South development cooperation, asking what these trends mean for the politics of knowledge production. Chapters are interspersed with shorter vignettes, which aim to share examples from first-hand participation in and observaTrade Review"This highly original and theoretically sophisticated collection by an unusually diverse group of contributors subjects the idea of 'south-south development cooperation' to the sort of critical scrutiny it has long demanded. In doing so they break important new theoretical ground and offer a new and potentially transformative activist agenda." — David Lewis, London School of Economics & Political Science, UK"The economic and political rise of China and other Asian countries is profoundly reconfiguring international relations, including the knowledge production on South-South Development Cooperation. This volume presents an inspiring selection of perspectives, while self-critically questioning the positionality of the authors amidst increasing valorization and commodification of research." — Arndt Graf, Africa’s Asian Options (AFRASO), Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany"Rich in analysis and reflection, this kaleidoscopic volume brings together emergent and established voices to interrogate the ontologies, epistemologies, and methodologies of South-South Development Cooperation. This result is a book that is novel in both form and content, and that breaks new ground by debating and deliberating how identity, power and positionality shape geographies of knowledge production concerning a key topic for contemporary development studies." — Jamie Doucette, University of Manchester, UK"This creative volume traces, theorizes and reflects on changing research epistemologies following global shifts in economic and political power. Clearly, development studies has been waiting for this book, though its importance far surpasses the discipline. Decolonising knowledge (production) all in academia must: the discussions in this volume lead the way." — Bram Buscher, Wageningen University, Netherlands"A bold questioning of what it means to research south-south development cooperation. Highly creative in form and content, this volume will greatly serve teachers, students, researchers and practitioners to reflect upon uncomfortable yet necessary questions of positionality and theory-building in globalization and development studies. I expect this book to be of great influence." — Valentina Mazzucato, Maastricht University, Netherlands"This interesting collection offers an array of studies on ‘the politics of knowledge production’ in connection to South-South development cooperation, a rapidly emerging field and realigning global ideologies and processes of ‘development’. Indeed, virtually all chapters are written by scholars from the global South: the editors only wrote the Introduction and the Conclusion. They address a variety of relevant issues regarding social epistemology, development, and identity politics, and while here and there somewhat ‘Third-Worldist’ in approach the book provides essential and challenging reading, bound to evoke critical debate." — Jon Abbink, Professor of Politics & Governance in Africa, Leiden University, The NetherlandsTable of ContentsForeword Neera Chandhoke Introduction Elsje Fourie, Wiebe Nauta and Emma Mawdsley 1.

Book SynopsisFirst published in 1997, this volume examines the urban environments of Accra (Ghana), Harare (Zimbabwe) and Gaborone (Botswana). Each was effectively the capital city of a former British colony, and hence inherited a concern for public health. Each has made a serious and largely successful effort to provide the public goods necessary for the well-being of their urban population. Each is well above the average for all of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in these respects. However, the GDP per capita varies significantly between these three countries. Differences in standard of living are similarly evident. The authors focus intensively on public policies that determine who gets what, how they get it, and what price they pay.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisAid effectiveness has emerged as an intensely debated issue amongst policy makers, donors, development practitioners, civil society and academics during the past decade. This debate revolves around one important question: does official development assistance complement, duplicate or disregard the local resource endowment in offering support to recipient economies?This book draws on Pakistan's experience in responding to this question with a diverse range of examples. It focuses on a central idea: no aid effectiveness without an effective receiving mechanism. Pakistan is among the top aid recipient countries in the developing economies. It was a shining model in the sixties and it ranks among the highly underperforming countries after the new millennium. This book offers an insight into the dynamics of success and failure of Pakistan in availing foreign financial and technical assistance for human development and poverty alleviation. It draws on field experiences tTrade Review‘Fayyaz Baqir’s book, Poverty Alleviation and Poverty of Aid, offers a brilliant exposure of how international assistance operated in Pakistan; and how the measures undertaken for poverty reduction fell short of addressing the major issues that needed attention.

Book SynopsisThis volume contains some of the core foundational contributions on the broad theme of the political economy of India's development. These have been culled from the numerous writings of public personages, thinkers and academic writers over the past century. The extant collections of readings on development economics usually contain readings from academic economists like Sen, Bhagwati, Bardhan, Dreze, Basu, etc. The purpose of this collection is to point out to the lay reader that there is a world of writing on development that is outside the realms of academia. Accordingly, we look at the contributions of figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Babasaheb Ambedkar, Ram Manohar Lohia, etc., who too had thought hard and deep about the process of India's development.The present volume is a purposive selection of 23 articles out of the 75 pieces published earlier in four volumes with the title Economic Development of India, by Routledge in 2015.

Book SynopsisWhy do aid agencies from wealthy donor countries with diverse domestic political and economic contexts arrive at very similar positions on a wide array of aid policies and priorities? This book suggests that this homogenization of policy represents the effects of common processes of globalization manifest in the aid sector. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative analysis of policy adoption, the book argues that we need to examine macro-level globalizing influences at the same time as understanding the micro-level social processes at work within aid agencies, in order to adequately explain the so-called emerging global consensus' that constitutes the globalization of aid.The book explores how global influences on aid agencies in Canada, Sweden, and the United States are mediated through micro-level processes. Using a mixed-methods approach, the book combines cross-national statistical analysis at the global level with two comparative case studies which look at the adoptiTrade Review"This long-awaited book provides a compelling account of why foreign aid donors engage in herd behaviour and how the process plays out in specific cases. In it, Liam Swiss makes a very insightful and nuanced contribution to the literature on foreign aid and policy diffusion." — Stephen Brown, School of Political Studies, University of Ottawa, Canada"Based on sustained personal and professional experience, Liam Swiss provides a meticulous analysis of the many forces that produce convergence in international development policy, norms and priorities. Swiss manages the rare combination of compelling detail, clarity, and theoretical innovation." — Emma Mawdsley, Reader in Human Geography, University of Cambridge, UK"Combining mixed-methods research with his insights as a former international aid worker, Swiss offers a compelling explanation of how donors get stuck in inflexible approaches to development.

Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Development Ethics provides readers with insight into the central questions of development ethics, the main approaches to answering them, and areas for future research. Over the past seventy years, it has been argued and increasingly accepted that worthwhile development cannot be reduced to economic growth. Rather, a number of other goals must be realised: Enhancement of people''s well-being Equitable sharing in benefits of development Empowerment to participate freely in development Environmental sustainability Promotion of human rights Promotion of cultural freedom, consistent with human rights Responsible conduct, including integrity over corruption Agreement that these are essential goals has also been accompanied by disagreements about how to conceptualize or apply them in different cases or contexts. Using these seven goals as an organizing principle, this handbook presents Trade Review"Jay Drydyk and Lori Keleher have done a stellar job in bringing leading scholars in development ethics together for this Handbook of Development Ethics. The chapters in this handbook make it clear that development is not just about economic growth, but in the first place about wellbeing, justice, empowerment, the environment, human rights, cultural freedoms, and taking responsibilities. This handbook will become an essential resource for any student or teacher of development ethics. And it should be interesting for anyone who wants to think systematically about what matters when moving towards a better world for all." — Ingrid Robeyns, Chair in Ethics of Institutions, Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Utrecht University, Netherlands"The three quarters of a century after the second world war has seen dramatic improvements, on average, in life expectancy, educational achievements, and income in parts of the world where these were lowest. The "on average" qualification is of course important—some have benefited much more than others, and significant numbers have been immiserized. What are the basic ethical principles according to which one would assess the gains for some against the losses for others in health, education and income? Are these the only dimensions along which changes are to be measured and assessed? And in any case, can such consequentialist perspectives capture the essence of ethical dilemmas in development? These questions do not make for easy answers, and there is lively debate among scholars on development ethics, animated by ground level political expressions, sometimes violent, of huge discontent among those "being developed". This excellent volume brings together leading analysts to chart the terrain and lay the foundations for further systematic debate and exploration. It will become a go to reference for those working on normative assessment of the development process." — Ravi Kanbur, T.H. Lee Professor of World Affairs, International Professor of Applied Economics and Management, and Professor of Economics at Cornell University, USA"This book is an extraordinary conversation among diverse ethical values that in the process revises each one of them. Like in a symphony, where the color and sound of an instrument is perceived differently when joined by others, the seven values organizing this handbook interact as living creatures. The orchestra is in place; and it is worth listening to it like a unified piece. It is much more than a handbook." — Javier M.

Book SynopsisWe live in unprecedented times. Climate change and ecosystem collapse are altering our world beyond recognition, and a growing global population is exacerbating the pressure on the resources that power our economies. How should the private sector respond to the new risks and uncertainties of our Crowded Planet? Frugal Value contests the notion that companies can rise to the great challenges of our time by adopting so-called 'sustainable business' practices. Instead, the acute ecological crisis requires an all-round rethink of what business does, and how it does it. This book explores what business responsibility looks like today, and how it could be put into practice through far-reaching changes to companies, ranging from new approaches to product design and business models to reconfiguration of operations and innovative ownership structures. Frugal Value provides practitioners and scholars with the perspective and tools they need to design companies that help drive the socio-economic changes so urgently required for a sustainable and just world.Trade Review'Millstone silences the happy talk about business sustainability and brings the sustainability concept down to earth, literally. Brilliantly, she shows what sustainability truly requires for both individual businesses and for the economic system as a whole. Persuasively argued and well written, Frugal Value is a path-breaking synthesis that deserves an audience far beyond the business community.'James Gustave Speth, former Dean, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, and author of America the Possible: Manifesto for a New Economy'Ambitious, serious, and inspiring. At last someone’s asking the right question. What will it really take to get business on a sustainable path? Millstone's unsparing critique of what passes today for "sustainable business" will provoke furious debate; her alternative lays out an agenda for business to become a real force for good. Required reading.'Paul Gilding, Former Executive Director of Greenpeace International'A well-informed and forthright challenge to conventional wisdom. Love it or hate it, just read it! This is the spirited debate we need today.'Ken Webster, Head of Innovation at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation'Corporate sustainability has made some progress over the last two decades, but nothing like enough. Carina Millstone's insightful book calls time on the 'business case rationale' for companies trying to do the right thing, and urges instead a more radical 'moral case', based on new design and operational principles.' Jonathon Porritt, Founder Director, Forum for the Future'Frugal Value reminds us that sustainability - despite its widespread abuse as a concept over the past 30 years - remains non-negotiable. The Planet cannot be 'traded off' for profit any more than oxygen can traded off for food. Frugal Value is a wake-up call to business leaders and sustainability practitioners alike: neither the 'business case for sustainability' nor current 'sustainable consumption and production' practices will get us anywhere near to the biodiverse and ecologically secure future we need to survive and thrive. Millstone calls attention to the elephant in the room - the current failure of so-called sustainable practices - and with skillful analysis, sketches out a more ambitious, transformational path: the imperative of redesigning our economic system and business models to achieve frugal value.'Professor Wayne Visser, PhD, author of Sustainable Frontiers'This tough-minded book isn’t afraid to cast aside the cherished shibboleths of sustainable business. It asks the hard questions, and points the way forward with challenging answers.'Professor Jem Bendell, Institute For Leadership And Sustainability, University of Cumbria, UK'A book that is unique and much needed…The title will present a new concept, but it is an important one, which I hope will be accepted into common parlance.'Professor Neva Goodwin, Co-Director of the Global Development and Environment Institute, Tufts University'Far from frugal, this book’s recipe for achieving customer satisfaction is through massive reduction in resource use and wide social benefit rather than by sidestepping these issues.

Book SynopsisThe recent escalation of world food prices – particularly for cereals - prompted mass public indignation and demonstrations in many countries, from the price of tortilla flour in Mexico to that of rice in the Philippines and pasta in Italy. The crisis has important implications for future government trade and food security policies, as countries re-evaluate their reliance on potentially more volatile world markets to augment domestic supplies of staple foods. This book examines how government policies caused and responded to soaring world prices in the particular case of rice, which is the world's most important source of calories for the poor. Comparable case studies of policy reactions in different countries, principally across Asia, but also including the USA, provide the understanding necessary to evaluate the impact of trade policy on the food security of poor farmers and consumers. They also provide important insights into the concerns of developing countries that are relevant for future international trade negotiations in key agricultural commodities. As a result, more appropriate policies can be put in place to ensure more stable food supplies in the future. Published with the Food and Agriculture (FAO) Organization of the United Nations Trade Review'This book, with chapters from many prominent experts, presents new evidence from the recent rice price crisis and draws lessons for preventing the next crisis. It is a unique set of references on global food security and the world rice market.' Shenggen Fan, Director General, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) 'This book is a must-read for those who wish to understand the world rice market, trade policies and food security concerns. It provides a careful and detailed analysis of the causes and consequences of the 2007 and 2008 global rice crisis. It is written by knowledgeable experts from the key rice economy nations.'

Book SynopsisWhy do some people get together to manage their common assets? Why do other groups of people leave those assets to be over-exploited by each member of the group? The answers could be crucial to the proper maintenance and use of 'common property resources', from grazing land through fish stocks to irrigation water. Robert Wade, drawing on research in areas of Andhra Pradesh where rain is scarce and unreliable, argues that some villagers develop and finance joint institutions for cooperative management of common property resources in grazing and irrigation - but others do not. The main reason lies in the risk of crop loss.Villages located towards the tail-end of irrigation systems, and with soils fertile enough to support a high density of livestock, show a larger amount of corporate organization than villages elsewhere. Placing his work in the wider context of both the developing world today and the open-field system of medieval Europe, the author argues that peasants can under certain Table of ContentsList of illustrations; List of tables; Preface; 1.
