ISBN: 9780198233305 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The voluntary sector is often perceived as effective in reaching poor and disadvantaged groups in developing countries. Drawing on the results of a series of project evaluations in Asia and Africa, this work lends support to the view that voluntary organizations are effective in reducing rural poverty, through a participatory approach, the involvement of committed staff, and a skilled and competent leadership. However, it also shows that voluntary agencies do not always reach the poor through economic programmes, that small-scale projects designed for the poor are often very costly, and that...

Italy: The Sheltered Economy: Structural Problems in the Italian Economy
ISBN: 9780198287483 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Based on the results of a three year empirical study analyzing the Italian economy, this work focuses on the role of state and private economic agents. Italy has a huge and interventionist governmental economic policy. Professor Padoa Schioppa Kostoris argues that much of this state action and regulation is irrational and counter-efficient. She further argues that the Italian economy is also characterized by a large and efficient black market, so that much of the private sector already evades state control. Since de facto deregulation therefore exists to a large extent, Kostoris calls for...

Planning for Change: Industrial Policy and Japanese Economic Development 1945-1990
ISBN: 9780198288084 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In addition to providing an overview of Japanese development and industrial policy measures used during the 1945-1990 period, this book assesses the contribution that industrial policy made to Japan's phenomenal economic success. James Vestal concludes that a stable, gradual, and long term perspective was key to Japan's development, rather than "picking winners." Policy makers selectively blocked competition in inefficient sectors in order to maintain employment, which was necessary given that Japan's productive capital was decimated in the war. Barriers to competition were raised as the...

Decolonizing Knowledge: From Development to Dialogue
ISBN: 9780198288848 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Development failures, environmental degradation and social fragmentation can no longer be regarded as "side effects." They are the toxic consequences of pretensions that the modern Western view of knowledge is a universal neutral view, applicable to all people at all times. This work argues that the linear evolutionary paradigm of development emerging from the modern Western view of knowledge is a contemporary form of colonialism. The work proposes a pluralistic vision and a decolonization of knowledge: the replacement of one-way transfers of knowledge and technology by dialogue and mutual...
