Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: In the present master thesis shall be analysed hidden effects ensuing from approaches on Conditionality intended at the Bretton Woods Conference to be used by IMF and World Bank, as well of those that were finally executed by them. The main focus in this research lies on the altering management of that what is interpreted as Conditionality by these institutions, namely a barter of economic policy adaptations against complementary lending. In order to comprehend the accompanying implications behind, this view will be enriched of new aspects: The first chapter highlights selected analogies to a related concept used widely within positivistic civil law, revealing, next to an even-handed functioning of the basic mechanism, also a concentration of institutional roles that would not be permissible on national level. The second analysis introduces to the historical background of the Bretton Woods Conference and evaluates according proposals concerning Conditionality. In the following there are taken into consideration global political evolvements too that opened the door towards ulterior fields of appliance, of whom development resulted being the most fertile one. This leads directly to the elaboration of the two basic strategies followed by the Bretton Woods Institutions in order to leverage their restricted financial capabilities. Finally conclusions are drawn about the role that Conditionality plays within the value-creating chain of an international financial institution, whose outputs, like those of IMF and World Bank, are interpreted in terms of global public goods. The missing link between Conditionality and GPGs is bridged through the introduction of the Conditionality-GPG-Profile that allows the obtainment of a respective profile of Conditionality-bound institutional efforts.

This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the close of the Second World War, when industrialized nations faced serious trade and financial imbalances, delegates from forty-four countries met in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in order to reconstruct the international monetary system. In this volume, three generations of scholars and policy makers, some of whom participated in the 1944 conference, consider how the Bretton Woods System contributed to unprecedented economic stability and rapid growth for 25 years and discuss the problems that plagued the system and led to its eventual collapse in 1971. The contributors explore adjustment, liquidity, and transmission under the System; the way it affected developing countries; and the role of the International Monetary Fund in maintaining a stable rate. The authors examine the reasons for the System's success and eventual collapse, compare it to subsequent monetary regimes, such as the European Monetary System, and address the possibility of a new fixed exchange rate for today's world.

Download or read book Unholy Trinity written by Richard Peet and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who really runs the global economy? Who benefits most from it? The answer is a triad of 'governance institutions' - The IMF, the World Bank and the WTO. Globalization massively increased the power of these institutions and they drastically affected the livelihoods of peoples across the world. Yet they operate undemocratically and aggressively promote a particular kind of neoliberal capitalism. Under the 'Washington Consensus' they proposed, poverty was to be ended by increasing inequality. This new edition of Unholy Trinity, completely updated and revised, argues that neoliberal global capitalism has now entered a period of crisis so severe that governance will become impossible. Huge incomes for a small number of super-rich people produced an unstable global economy, rife with speculation and structurally prone to crises. The IMF is in disgrace, the WTO can hardly meet anymore and the World Bank survives as a global philanthropist. Is this the end for the Unholy Trinity?

Download or read book Effects of Financial Globalization on Developing Countries written by Mr.Ayhan Kose and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-09-03 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides a candid, systematic, and critical review of recent evidence on this complex subject. Based on a review of the literature and some new empirical evidence, it finds that (1) in spite of an apparently strong theoretical presumption, it is difficult to detect a strong and robust causal relationship between financial integration and economic growth; (2) contrary to theoretical predictions, financial integration appears to be associated with increases in consumption volatility (both in absolute terms and relative to income volatility) in many developing countries; and (3) there appear to be threshold effects in both of these relationships, which may be related to absorptive capacity. Some recent evidence suggests that sound macroeconomic frameworks and, in particular, good governance are both quantitatively and qualitatively important in affecting developing countries’ experiences with financial globalization.

Download or read book Our Continent Our Future written by P. Thandika Mkandawire and published by IDRC. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Continent, Our Future presents the emerging African perspective on this complex issue. The authors use as background their own extensive experience and a collection of 30 individual studies, 25 of which were from African economists, to summarize this African perspective and articulate a path for the future. They underscore the need to be sensitive to each country's unique history and current condition. They argue for a broader policy agenda and for a much more active role for the state within what is largely a market economy. Finally, they stress that Africa must, and can, compete in an increasingly globalized world and, perhaps most importantly, that Africans must assume the leading role in defining the continent's development agenda.
