Book SynopsisLatin America was one of the regions least affected by the global financial crisis of 2008. Latin America after the Financial Crisis explains how the global financial crisis affected the region and why it was not as severe as other crises in the past.Trade Review“Latin America after the Financial Crisis is stronger on diagnosis than innovative policy prescription. … a richly textured view of how Latin America experienced the global financial crisis. Opening with commonly understood causes of the crisis in globalized capital markets, the book contests the neoclassical view that unsound monetary policy, regulatory failures, fraudulent practices, and external shocks were at the core of the seismic crisis.” (Patrice Franko, Latin American Research Review, Vol. 54 (1), 2019)Table of Contents1.

Palgrave MacMillan Us TenGallon Economy Sizing Up Economic Growth in Texas
Book SynopsisTexas' economic growth has consistently outpaced that of the United States as a whole over the past quarter century.Trade Review"Ten-Gallon Economy is a timely volume on the important forces shaping the dynamic Texas economy over the past decade and more. The invited articles touch on the myriad drivers of the state's rapid growth (energy, exports, low taxes), but they also focus on the challenges that need addressing if Texas is to remain vibrant. The volume is not a compendium of Texas boosterism but rather of clear-eyed research and recommendations to assure future economic success for all Texans." - Kathleen Cooper, Director of International Politics and Economics, Tower Center, Southern Methodist University, USA; former Under Secretary for Economic Affairs, US Department of Commerce; Chief Economist, Exxon Mobil Corporation "Rather than providing simply an overview of Texas' 'oil economy,' Ten-Gallon Economy examines the people and socioeconomic conditions as well as the energy and non-energy components of the state's economy in the past, present, and future. This book is a must-read that will be both informative and enlightening for anyone interested in how we got here and the road forward." - Steve Murdock, Allyn and Gladys Cline Professor of Sociology, Rice University, USA; former Director of the US Census Bureau "We have a responsibility to turn our diversity into strength. The effective deployment of human capital has never offered greater promise than it does today. Ten Gallon Economy outlines the choices we face and the rewards we can fully realize only by addressing our growing education needs. We must always evaluate what our real-world options are; change is the one constant. Ten Gallon Economy's research and analysis provides invaluable insight in these challenging times." - Renu Khator, Chancellor, University of Houston, USATable of ContentsPART I: INTRODUCTION1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Africa: Why Economists Get It Wrong
Book Synopsis‘A valuable corrective to the fraying narrative of [African] failure.’ Foreign Affairs Not so long ago, Africa was being described as the hopeless continent. Recently, though, talk has turned to Africa rising, with enthusiastic voices exclaiming the potential for economic growth across many of its countries. What, then, is the truth behind Africa’s growth, or lack of it? In this provocative book, Morten Jerven fundamentally reframes the debate, challenging mainstream accounts of African economic history. Whilst for the past two decades experts have focused on explaining why there has been a ‘chronic failure of growth’ in Africa, Jerven shows that most African economies have been growing at a rapid pace since the mid nineties. In addition, African economies grew rapidly in the fifties, the sixties, and even into the seventies. Thus, African states were dismissed as incapable of development based largely on observations made during the 1980s and early 1990s. The result has been misguided analysis, and few practical lessons learned. This is an essential account of the real impact economic growth has had on Africa, and what it means for the continent’s future.Trade ReviewA refreshing contribution to the debate about development scholarship on Africa and it deserves to be read by all. * Africa is a Country *In this stimulating book, Morten Jerven questions the historical focus of development economics as applied to Africa and calls for greater emphasis on the individual experiences of African countries. * African Affairs *In his incisive book Morten Jerven provides a critical analysis of the economic development literature on Africa. * African Studies Quarterly *Everyone interested in Africa or in the great mysteries of how to understand economic growth can benefit from this excellent book. * Choice *[A] compelling critique. * Development Policy Review *Morten Jerven provides a valuable reminder of the need not just to cite statistics but to question them. * Financial Times *A valuable corrective to the fraying narrative of [African] failure. * Foreign Affairs *Jerven provides a very useful explanation and argument as to why Western policies or technologies cannot simply be grafted onto the current reality of Africa. * International Socialism Journal *i>'[T]his is indeed an exhilarating and devastating critique of much of what passes as ‘scientific study’ of African economies ... This thought-provoking work has put down a marker for mainstream economists not only to think about, but also to respond to. * Review of African Political Economy *Students and researchers in a wide range of fields like international development, statistics, economics and sociology will find this book helpful ... it will help scholars conduct better research and change the conversation about African economic development. * Science and Public Policy *By deconstructing the common assumptions guiding most of the econometric exercises leading to all sorts of prognoses, [Jerven] has challenged the mystification practised by mainstream economists. * Strategic Review for Southern Africa *This analysis reshapes some of the central questions in the literature on African economic development. * Catherine Boone, London School of Economics and Political Science *Jerven's lucid and straightforward writing gravely undermines long-established policy positions concerning trade liberalization and state intervention. * Gustav Peebles, The New School *A highly readable and absolutely devastating critique of an increasingly extensive and influential body of work by economists seeking to explain "what's wrong with Africa". Jerven argues convincingly that a better understanding can be obtained by setting aside the "African failure" frame, and paying careful empirical attention to the continent's complex historical trajectories of episodic and recurring growth. * James Ferguson, Stanford University *In a short space of time, Morten Jerven's work has influenced debates about economic growth and the nature of the underlying data, especially in the case of sub-Saharan Africa. Jerven is essential reading for anyone working in this area. * Jonathan Temple, University of Bristol *An excellent and timely scholarly contribution that challenges both the pessimistic view of Africa as a growth failure as well as the exuberant view of Africa's recent growth resurgence. It forces all of us to rethink where the "character flaw" lies - on the African side or on the analyst's side. * Léonce Ndikumana, University of Massachusetts, Amherst *[R]eading this book is important ... setting out how statistics and economic analysis have been central to inform policies.' * Policy and Practice, Oxfam *Jerven brings a healthy scepticism to economists' pronouncements about Africa. He argues that these sweeping generalizations are too often based on shaky econometrics, bad data and superficial concepts. This book should be required reading for anyone who cares about African development. * William Easterly, author of The Tyranny of Experts *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Brill Japan in Decline: Fact or Fiction?
Book SynopsisTo what extent is Japan in decline? In recent years popular writings, media commentaries and analysts often take the view that the rise of Japan is long since over and that the world's second largest economy is not just treading water but that society and the economy are failing, with potential catastrophic outcomes. But is this really the case? Could it be that once again Japan is being misread and misinterpreted? Are there not both obvious and less obvious signs of renewal and recovery? And how might the new DPJ-led government reform Japan? Based on papers given at a major international conference held at the University of Adelaide in November 2009, this thesis is examined here by a group of the world's leading specialists in their fields, addressing many of the key issues facing Japan today, from the economy and environment, to education, social policy, politics, internationalization, diplomacy, security. This volume will have wide-ranging interdisciplinary relevance for students and specialists alike.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Japan: Descending Asian Giant?; Financial System Reform: Recovery or Retrogression?; Political Earthquake in Japan; Japan’s ODA as Soft Power; Japan in Global Governance: War and Peace; Japan’s Politics of Environment and Climate Change: From NIMBY to Global Networks; National Security in Japan’s Space Policy; Japan’s Regional Engagement: Network Diplomacy; Can Japan Engage Northeast Asia?

De Gruyter Private Sector Development in an Emerging World:
Book SynopsisThis book explores the interactions between private sector development, public policies and societal institutions with a strong view on contributing to sustainable and inclusive development in emerging countries. The private sector is often praised as an engine of economic growth. This belief has led to significant efforts to promote private sector development in emerging countries. Development agencies prioritize private sector development and national governments are following suit, resulting in often huge incentives to stimulate and attract private investment. However, private sector development is not a panacea for sustainable and inclusive development as the past decades have clearly shown. Economic growth, societal development and environmental sustainability are often in a sharp conflict; and more often than not economic growth has failed to improve the lives of all citizens. This book examines the role the state and the private sector should play to benefit from the dynamics of business development, while ensuring that these benefits are shared broadly without jeopardizing sustainability. The views presented differ in detail, but the analyses and case studies presented share common themes, namely that the relative roles of state and private sector of should be balanced and that this particular balance should be based on the context of each country in order to make the private-public sector interaction work for all people.
