Paperback. Condición: Good. In this elegant and impassioned synthesis from one of the world's leading experts on Africa and poverty, economist Paul Collier writes persuasively that although nearly five billion of the world's people are beginning to climb from desperate poverty and to benefit from globalization's reach to developing countries, there is a "bottom billion" of the world's poor whose countries, largely immune to the forces of global economy, are falling farther behind and are in danger of falling apart, separating permanently and tragically from the rest of the world. Collier identifies and explains the four traps that prevent the homelands of the world's billion poorest people from growing and receiving the benefits of globalization - civil war, the discovery and export of natural resources in otherwise unstable economies, being landlocked and therefore unable to participate in the global economy without great cost, and finally, ineffective governance. As he demonstrates that these billion people are quite likely in danger of being irretrievably left behind, Collier argues that we cannot take a "headless heart" approach to these seemingly intractable problems; rather, that we must harness our despair and our moral outrage at these inequities to a reasoned and thorough understanding of the complex and interconnected problems that the world's poorest people face. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Global poverty is falling rapidly, but in around fifty failing states, the world's poorest people face a tragedy that is growing inexorably worse. This bottom billion live on less than a dollar a day and while the rest of the world moves steadily forward, this forgotten billion is left further and further behind with potentially serious consequences not only for them but for the stability of the rest of the world. Why do the states these people live in defy all the attempts of the international aid community to help them? Why does nothing seem to make a difference? In The Bottom Billion, Paul Collier pinpoints the issues of corruption, political instability and resource management that lie at the root of the problem. He describes the battle raging in these countries between corrupt leaders and would-be reformers and the factors such as civil war, dependence on the export of natural resources and lack of good governance that trap them into a downward spiral of economic and social decline. Collier addresses the fact that conventional aid has been unable to tackle these problems and puts forward a radical new plan of action including a new agenda for the G8 which includes more effective anti-corruption measures, preferential trade policies and where necessary direct military intervention. All of these initiatives are carefully designed to help the forgotten bottom billion, one of the key challenges facing the world in the twenty first century.

Sprache: Deutsch Broschur 4;; 449 Seiten + 61 Seiten Anhang; Bibliotheksstempel auf Rückseite Haupttitel, sonst wohlerhaltenes Buch; Tabellen; - The African Development Report 1995 is the seventh in an annual series, covering recent economic developments in Africa; an in-depth analysis of a major development policy issue of critical importance to Africa; and updated statistical information on the African economies. Part I of the Report contains four chapters and is devoted to a survey of the global economy in 1994; the performance of African economies; the major domestic policy developments during 1994; and the medium-term outlook and prospects for the African economies. Chapter 1 reviews the most recent trends of the global economy, the dominant features of which in 1994 were the relatively high output growth rates achieved by most of the industrialized and a few developing countries; the surge in the volume of world trade; and the success recorded in controlling inflationary pressures. The second chapter highlights the performance of African economies in 1994, with special emphasis on the analyses of output growth, regional patterns of growth, sectoral performance, inflation, the balance of payments, external debt, and employment; and reviews the major macroeconomic developments in the region. It also presents a survey of internal conflicts and their costs to African development; and economic profiles of a few selected countries -- Botswana, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Senegal, South Africa, and Tunisia. In Chapter 3, a comprehensive analysis of the major domestic policy developments in 1994 is presented. It examines fiscal policy developments, public sector reforms and privatization; monetary and financial policy developments; and exchange rate and trade policy developments. It also examines the question of Central Bank autonomy from the Treasury in Uganda; and recent measures adopted by Kenya in pursuit of greater convertibility of its currency. Chapter 4 provides an overview of the medium-term outlook for Africa, taking in.
