Book excerpt: Using the nominal interest rates both for Namibia and South Africa (for the period first quarter of 1995 to the fourth quarter of 1998), the results show that about 89% of the variations in the Namibian nomial interest rate are explained by the South African nominal rate which, at 0.05%, is statistically significant. [...] The size of the primary surplus and seignorage revenue that is generated by the public sector is determined largely by the size of the tax base, for both conventional taxes and seignorage revenue. [...] In the case of external debt, future generations bear the burden because this decreases consumption by the amount equal to the loan and the accumulated interest payment to foreigners. [...] Cashin's model helps to clarify the structural view of the economy by focussing on the impact of public investment, public transfers and taxation on the economy. [...] It also highlights the need for the unproductive agents (the old) to leave the work force, so as to decrease the negative externalities associated with unproductive old age, The impact of fiscal deficits & public debt on real interest rate & investment 9 thereby raising the productivity of the private capital, and economic growth.

Download or read book On Shoot the Boer hate speech and the banning of struggle songs PULP FICTIONS No 6 written by Karin van Marle and published by Pretoria University Law Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On ‘Shoot the Boer’, hate speech and the banning of struggle songs - PULP FICTIONS No.6 Edited by Karin van Marle 2010 ISSN: 1992-5174 Pages: 23 Print version: Available Electronic version: Free PDF available About the publication In the two contributions to this volume we find the following passages: ‘Whether one is an upper-middle class Afrikaner or a poor black rural woman whether one is a black small business entrepreneur or a poor white car guard, an obsession with hate speech will not do us any good.’ (De Vos) ‘The protection of these values is not sub-ordinate to the problems of unemployment corruption, poverty and discrimination. On the contrary, those problems can only be tackled if these values are upheld and developed.’ (Spies) David Scott in Conscripts of modernity: The tragedy of colonial enlightenment (2004) investigates how colonial struggles are told in history. He observes how often what happened in the past is told to serve present day priorities. CLR James’s account of the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804 in his work, The Black Jacobins, is one example of a text written in a time when decolonization was a future possibility. This work is described by Scott as a work of anti-colonial longing. Scott’s argument is that we should move away from anti-colonial longing in order to start thinking of other kinds of problems and other kinds of questions. James, in a revised edition of The Black Jacobins published in 1963, recast the initial narrative from one of romance to one of tragedy. In a post-apartheid South-Africa we are constantly being haunted by our apartheid and colonial past. How we respond to, but even before responding, how we understand the many challenges we face today — ongoing poverty, crime, corruption, equality, dignity, freedom of speech — may depend on how we relate to past, present and future, and specifically how we frame the stories of the struggle against colonialism and against apartheid. Becoming post-colonial (post-apartheid) requires new angles, new starting points. It might be fruitful to study the actions and speech of Julius Malema in light of Scott’s observations. In other words we could reflect on the extent to which Malema remains in an anti-colonial struggle engulfed by Romanticism and is therefore not engaged in a postcolonial struggle, and accordingly fails to engage in a ‘politics for a possible future’. (Scott (2004)) In this edition of Pulp fictions, Pierre De Vos takes another angle on the issue of Julius Malema’s singing of struggle songs and his statements concerning victims of rape. De Vos argues for us not to be blinded by debates on freedom of speech / hate speech, if the real issue is a political struggle for socio-economic transformation. For De Vos, ‘poverty, corruption, discrimination and a lack of service delivery are far more important issues that need to be faced head on.’ Willie Spies in response to De Vos argues for ‘a change of our mindset’ and that such a change is not contrary to socioeconomic reform but rather tightly connected to it.

Download or read book Mass Media written by James B. Martin and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass media has become an integral part of the human experience. News travels around the world in a split second affecting people in other countries in untold ways. Although being on top of the news may be good, at least for news junkies, mass media also transmits values or the lack thereof, condenses complex events and thoughts to simplified sound bites and often ignores the essence of an event or story. The selective bibliography gathers the books and magazine literature over the previous ten years while providing access through author, title and subject indexes.
Download or read book Governing Regional Integration for Development written by Antoni Estevadeordal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing countries have joined the rapidly growing global system of regional trade agreements (RTAs) over the past years. The drive towards regional integration has advanced with the formation of new markets and groups in Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Oceania with few developing countries remaining outside these regional schemes. This volume looks at how 'getting governance right' is a central element for successful RTA implementation, taking stock of the quality and effectiveness of the monitoring of development country RTAs around the world. Organized by the main world regions and primarily focusing on developing country RTAs, the book also includes two case studies focused on monitoring in developed country regional agreements by way of comparison. The contributors operationalize governance in the context of RTA implementation with a more narrow and technical term of 'monitoring' and provide eight important lessons for assessing monitoring around the world.
Download or read book Fisheries Development written by Bjørn Hersoug and published by Eburon Uitgeverij B.V.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All coastal states have ambitions for the development of their fisheries. Not only do fisheries play an important role in sustaining peoples' livelihoods, but also in many countries in the north and the south, fisheries are important for the national economy. Moreover, fisheries are part of the process of globalisation, which, for better or worse, means that fisheries issues and problems have implications that extend beyond the level of the nation state. Fisheries development: the institutional challenge is the result of a long-term research programme on fisheries in developing countries. The book explains how fisheries development strategies changed over the years, from simple ideas of modernising the production equipment (boats and gear) to complex programmes involving management and institution building. It highlights the role of the state and the community in resource management and the challenges offered by new concepts such as ecosystem management in a Third World setting. Book jacket.
