Book excerpt: Corruption is increasingly being challenged as unacceptable across Asia and the Pacific: widespread malfeasance corrodes health care, education and public utilities. Now is the time to seize the moment, to combine pressure from above, in government as well as private sector, with the voice of people from below. Huge political and economic dividends can accrue from empowering countries to crush corruption. Eliminating this scourge will allow people across the region, especially the poor, to lead lives they value and to reach their fullest potential. The Report shows how everyone eventually loses with corruption ndash; focusing on why it hurts the poor the most and what can be done. It also spotlights the successes so far, as well as proposes further solutions, and in so doing, aims to ensure that history does not become the region's destiny.

This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This assessment of progress in Southeast Asia on human rights begins in the wake of the 'Asian values' debate and culminates in the formal regional institutionalisation of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR). Chapters examine the arduous negotiation of AICHR, the evolving relationship between ASEAN states' and the international human rights system, and the historical and experiential reasons for hesitancy. The text concludes with a discussion of how the evolving right to development impacts upon AICHR and international human rights in general, and how their preference for economic, social and development rights could help ASEAN states shape the debate.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asia-Pacific Countries with Special Needs Development Report 2016 explores ways to adapt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to the unique circumstances, capacities and levels of development of the Asia-Pacific Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), collectively referred to as Countries with Special Needs (CSN). For that purpose, it proposes a unique analytical framework, based on cutting-edge methods from complexity science coupled with economic analyses, to guide countries on the prioritization and sequencing of the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in the most effective manner. The framework allows for the identification of synergies, trade-offs and bottlenecks in attaining different Goals. The report also takes stock of the progress of CSN towards their respective global programmes of action, analyses the relationship between the programmes of action and the 2030 Agenda, and examines current perceptions of experts and practitioners from 25 CSN on how their countries should prioritize and sequence the achievement of the Goals.
