Development Arrested: Race, Power and the Blues in the Mississippi Delta

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Development Arrested` is a major reinterpretation of the two-centuries-old conflict between the African Americans and planters in the Mississippi Delta. In a definitive study of the history and social structures of the plantation system, Clyde Woods examines both planter domination of politics and economy in the region and the continuing resistance of the African American working class to the system`s depredations. `Development Arrested` traces the decline and resurrection of plantation ideology in national public policy discourse from Thomas Jefferson to Bill Clinton. Woods documents the unceasing attacks on the gains of the Civil Rights Movement and how, despite having suffered countless defeats at the hands of the planet regime, African Americans in the Delta have continued to push forward their agenda for social, economic, and cultural justice. He examines the role of the Blues in sustaining their efforts, surveying a musical tradition-including Jazz, Rock and Roll, Soul and… [detailed...]

Development As Freedom

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: By the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Economics, an essential and paradigm-altering framework for understanding economic development--for both rich and poor--in the twenty-first century. Freedom, Sen argues, is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life and the key to securing the general welfare of the world`s entire population. Releasing the idea of individual freedom from association with any particular historical, intellectual, political, or religious tradition, Sen clearly demonstrates its current applicability and possibilities. In the new global economy, where, despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers--perhaps even the majority of people--he concludes, it is still possible to practically and optimistically restain a sense of social accountability. Development as Freedom is essential reading. [detailed...]

Development As a Human Right: Legal, Political, and Economic Dimensions (Harvard Series on Health and Human Rights)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The intrinsic links between economics and human rights has led some scholars and practitioners to affirm that if strategies of economic development and policies to implement human rights are united, they will reinforce one another and improve the human condition. This book draws on the papers presented at the Nobel Symposium on The Right to Development and Human Rights in Development. Opening with an essay by Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, the book contains chapters by experts in the fields of philosophy, economics, international law, and international relations on the conceptual underpinnings of development as a human right, the national dimensions of this right, and the role of international institutions. The contributors explore the meaning and practical implications of human rights-based approaches to economic… [detailed...]

Development Beyond Neoliberalism? Governance, Poverty Reduction and Political Economy

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Development`s current focus - poverty reduction and good governance - signals a turn away from the older neoliberal preoccupation with structural adjustment, privatisation, and downsizing the state. For some, the new emphases on empowering and securing the poor through basic service delivery, local partnership, decentralisation and institution building constitute a decisive break with the past, and a whole set of new Development possibilities beyond neoliberalism. Taking a wider historical perspective, this book charts the emergence of poverty reduction and governance at the centre of Development. It shows that the Poverty Reduction paradigm does indeed mark a shift in the wider liberal project that has underpinned Development: precisely what is new, and what this means for how the poor are governed, are here described in detail. This book provides a compelling history of Development doctrine and practice, and in particular offers the first comprehensive account of the last… [detailed...]

Development Brokers And Translators: The Ethnography of Aid And Agencies

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The success of any international development agency depends on an understanding of the ways in which a community and individuals relate to ideas and resources. David Lewis and David Mosse have brought together a number of anthropologists engaged in development research to show how ethnography can be an indispensable tool for understanding these complex and dynamic relationships. The world that this ethnography of development reveals does not divide neatly into the developers and the developed, perpetrators and victims, domination and resistance, or the incompatible rationalities of scientific and indigenous knowledge. It is a world in which interests and practices are always hybrids, where the realms of reason and the real world are not neatly separate, and in which rational policy representations frequently conceal the messiness of practice that precedes the ideas and technologies of development. The wealth of new ideas offered in this collection will be especially valuable… [detailed...]

Development Call Centre Indust (Routledge Studies in Buisness Organizatinon and Networks)

Description: Over the past ten years there has been a massive growth in call centres worldwide. These centres are said to represent the most dynamic growth area in white-collar employment internationally since the mid 1990s. Yet the footloose and global nature of the industry means that jobs will always be susceptible to outsourced operations, ICT developments, public sector subsidization of business restructuring and re-location, and cheaper operations elsewhere. This book conducts a thorough analysis of this modern phenomenon. [detailed...]

Development Centre Studies Financing Development 2008: Whose Ownership? (Development Centre Studies)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Whose ownership? is the question. If only the answer were as easy to formulate. Donors and developing-country governments alike are struggling to put the principle of ownership into practice without much success. This despite agreement that countries must own their development policies if their financial inflows are to reduce poverty or stimulate growth. The authors of Financing Development 2008, designed to accompany discussions in the OECD Global Forum on Development, take a variety of approaches to the ownership question. They ask what developing-country ownership really means. From an effectiveness perspective, who should own development policies and who actually owns them? The authors find that the very complexity of the international system of development finance prevents countries from assuming leadership of their relationships with donors. Looking beyond governments, they also ask how aid effectiveness principles might apply to the activities of other actors, such as… [detailed...]

Description: The study of development in low-income countries is attracting more attention around the world than ever before. Yet until now there has been no comprehensive text that incorporates the huge strides made in the subject over the past decade. Development Economics does precisely that in a clear, rigorous, and elegant fashion. Debraj Ray, one of the most accomplished theorists in development economics today, presents in this book a synthesis of recent and older literature in the field and raises important questions that will help to set the agenda for future research. He covers such vital subjects as theories of economic growth, economic inequality, poverty and undernutrition, population growth, trade policy, and the markets for land, labor, and credit. A common point of view underlies the treatment of these subjects: that much of the development process can be understood by studying factors that impede the efficient and equitable functioning of markets. Diverse topics such as… [detailed...]

Development Encounters

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The field of development is subject to shifts in paradigms, and it is important to examine systematically how these are realized in actual practice. Two currently favored approaches are participation and indigenous knowledge. In this volume`s collectedpapers, development researchers and practitioners share their ideas and experience on the different forms taken by participation and knowledge, not limited to `indigenous` knowledge, in the practice of development. The `development encounters` they describe took place in sites ranging from villages in the Amazon, India, and southern Africa to research laboratories and corporate boardrooms in central Africa, Latin America, and the United States. This timely and grounded account of participation and knowledge in the front lines will be of interest to a range of practitioners, analysts, and students of development. [detailed...]

Rocha argues that contractually provided adaptation mechanisms can help avoid the disruption of medium- and long-term financing transactions, he also challenges the current practice of hazardous and resource-consuming ad hoc debt rescheduling that has characterized debt tremors to date. General adoption of these flexible adaptation mechanisms would be, argues Rocha, like flexible construction joints in an earthquake: both debtors and lenders would be more stable in the rocky environment of international finance.

Some reflections are also included on how the Development Centre has evolved and been transformed better to synchronize with the OECD?s overall efforts in favor of the poorer countries, regions, and peoples.
