Abstract

Latin America and the Middle East are two of the most important regions of the South and the world, yet they have hardly been studied comparatively in social sciences. This book attempts to fill this gap in the literature through a study of civil society-state relations in Bolivia and Egypt focusing on empowered participatory institutions. Not only are these institutions important in their own right in terms of the amount of resources allocated to them, but they are an important illustration of a rising model of governance and development based on state-civil society cooperation. The study not only helps us understand the nuanced relationship between state and citizen under neoliberalism, but also gives us insights into issues of major theoretical and practical importance, specifically the impact of social reform on processes of democratization, social inclusion, and equity.

Abstract

Illustrated by a wide range of case studies from planning contexts, this book examines culture as a socio-historically situated concept, introducing a line of scholarship, both established and recent, to show what 'culture' does and why. It addresses the materialisation of abstract concepts, performance and embodiment, and social categorisation and, in doing so, it shows how a deeper understanding of culture can offer new insights into the challenges that planners and planning theorists face.

Abstract

This paper develops a cost-benefit approach that helps to quantify the optimal level of international reserves in low-income countries, focusing on the role of reserves in preventing and mitigating absorption drops triggered by large external shocks. The approach is applied to a sample of 49 LICs over the period 1980-2008 to yield estimates of the likelihood and severity of a crisis. The calibration results suggest that the standard metric of three months of imports is inadequate for countries with fixed exchange rate regimes. The results also highlight the role of overall policy frameworks and availability of Fund-support in determining optimal reserve levels, raising questions about the uniform applicability of standard rules of thumb across countries.

Abstract

Jaarlijks worden miljarden aan overheidsgeld uitgegeven om de armsten in de wereld te helpen. Dagelijks proberen duizenden liefdadigheidsinstellingen en ngo's de meest hulpbehoevenden een beter bestaan te geven. Helaas is veel armoedebestrijding gebaseerd op veronderstellingen en niet op diepgaand onderzoek.In 'Arm en kansrijk' laten de twee vooraanstaande economen Ahbiji Banerjee en Esther Duflo zien dat heel veel ontwikkelingswerk in de afgelopen tientallen jaren heeft gefaald. Op basis van hun kennis, ervaring en onderzoekswerk in onder meer Chili, India, Kenia en Indonesië hebben de auteurs nieuwe aspecten blootgelegd in het gedrag van arme mensen, in hun behoeftes en in de manier waarop (financiële) hulp hun leven beïnvloedt. Deze fundamentele nieuwe inzichten zullen kunnen bijdragen aan het ontwikkelen van betere strategieën en kunnen de aanzet vormen tot een effectievere mondiale armoedebestrijding
