This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on bloomsburycollections.com. The global economic crisis of 2008-2009 exposed systemic failings at the core of economic policy making worldwide. The crisis came on top of several other crises, including skyrocketing and highly volatile world food and energy prices and climate change. This book argues that new policy approaches are needed to address such devastating global development challenges and to avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences to livelihoods worldwide that would result from present approaches. The contributors to the book are independent development experts, brought together by the UN to identify a development strategy capable of promoting a broad-based economic recovery and at the same time guaranteeing social equity and environmental sustainability both within countries and internationally. This new development approach seeks to promote the reforms needed to improve global governance, providing a more equitable distribution of global public goods. The contributors offer a critical evaluation of past development experiences and report on their creative search for new and well-thought out answers for the future. They suggest that economic progress, fairer societies and environmental sustainability can be compatible objectives, but only when pursued simultaneously by all.

Download or read book Empowerment written by John Friedmann and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1992-07-27 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-thirds of the population of the world are poor, and their number is growing in the first as well as in the third world, despite billions of dollars of aid. The economic development policies of the last two decades, and the theory which gave rise to them, have been discredited. The rich are disillusioned, apprehensive or uninterested, while the poor are embittered and without hope, the victims and agents of ignorance, instability and environmental degradation. The need for radical rethinking is urgent: this book makes an important contribution towards that end. John Friedmann argues that poverty should be seen not merely in material terms, but as social, political and psychological powerlessness. He presents the case for an alternative development committed to empowering the poor in their own communities, and to mobilizing them for political participation on a wider scale. In contrast to centralized development policies devised and implemented at the national and international level, alternative development restores the initiative to those in need, on the grounds that unless people have an active role in directing their own destinies long-term progress will not be achieved. The author takes the household as the strategic starting-point - stressing its moral, political and economic potential - as a source of continuity and as a location for production. From this basis he propounds a politics of emancipation that would enable the disempowered poor to assert their rights. Empowerment provides a morally-informed theoretical framework for a development policy that meets the needs of its recipients rather than of its makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the use of multisector models as tools for analyzing the relationship between alternative development strategies, growth, and structural change in a developing country. The paper first considers the evolution of general equilibrium models used for development planning, including input-output models and the recent computable general equilibrium models. The discussion focuses on the applicability of different models to different institutional and policy environments. In the second part of the paper, two models are used to analyze the macroeconomic and sectoral consequences of alternative development strategies. The two models are applied to the 1963-73 period in South Korea and are then used to simulate the impact of an alternative strategy of inward-looking development based on lower export growth and extensive import substitution. While the broad results are similar, the mechanisms embodied in the two models are quite different. A comparison of the empirical results and of the behavioral assumptions in the two models illustrates the range of issues that can be fruitfully investigated with different types of multisector models.
