This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au cours des dernières années, c'est une véritable prise de conscience du fait insulaire qui s'est opérée au niveau international. Initiée par l'Organisation des Nations Unies (ONU), avec la déclaration de Rio, la reconnaissance des caractéristiques communes aux économies insulaires jugées discriminantes pour leur développement s'est parallèlement étendue à d'autres organismes internationaux tels que l'Union européenne. Dorénavant, l'on parle de Petits États Insulaires en Développement (PEID) pour désigner le groupe de 14 territoires dépendants et 38 pays membres des Nations Unies exposés à des risques sociaux, économiques et environnementaux particuliers. Hautement vulnérables, les 16 États indépendants de la Caraïbe, les 13 du Pacifique et les 9 dispatchés dans l'Atlantique, l'Océan Indien, la Méditerranée et le Sud de la mer de Chine, constituent, en effet, des cas singuliers pour le développement. La crise économique de 2008 et plus récemment celle liée à la COVID-19 sont venues le rappeler. Ainsi, ces dernières décennies, la littérature économique s'est logiquement enrichie de nombreuses contributions visant à aborder l'analyse des problématiques fondamentales dans ces territoires. Cette thèse a pour ambition de prendre part à ce mouvement et se propose de relever le défi de la documentation d'une thématique qui est particulièrement manquante dans les travaux et publications consacrés à ces économies. Elle a donc pour objet d'examiner la qualité des institutions insulaires et de s'interroger sur leurs rôles dans la croissance et le développement économique.Examinant l'effet d'un déficit/surplus de gouvernance sur les performances économiques, notre analyse établit, dans un deuxième temps, plusieurs conclusions intéressantes. D'abord, et contrairement à ce que prédit la théorie, la relative bonne qualité institutionnelle des PEID ne leur a pas permis de se prémunir face à des crises économiques, notamment celle de 2008. Ensuite, les économies insulaires dotées d'une bonne gouvernance n'ont, d'une part, pas su répondre de manière optimale à ce choc et d'autre part, ont connu une plus grande volatilité de leur taux de croissance. Mobilisant la technique des coupes transversales et des données de panel, nos applications, portant sur 33 PEID, attestent dans un troisième temps, que la gouvernance n'a globalement pas d'impact sur leur croissance économique, entre 2002 et 2016. En scindant cette période en deux, nous montrons toutefois une relation plus significative entre la gouvernance et la croissance avant la crise économique de 2008 (2002-2009) qu'après (2010-2016). Afin de mieux appréhender le rôle de la qualité institutionnelle nous poursuivons par l'examen de l'effet combiné et individuel des institutions, à partir de deux cadres d'analyse unifiés. Nous mettons alors en évidence, dans un quatrième temps, que seule la stabilité politique a un effet positif et significatif robuste sur la croissance du PIB par tête des PEID, toutes périodes confondues. Nos résultats enseignent enfin que les institutions insulaires défaillantes (qualité de la règlementation, efficacité du gouvernement) ont un impact nul voire négatif sur cette dernière.

Book excerpt: "Caribbean cities are a unique yet underexposed phenomenon. Their distinctiveness results from a combination of interrelated factors including a history of slavery, development under the hemispheric hegemony of the United States and spatial limitations imposed by the settings of most Caribbean urban areas." "This innovative volume presents a detailed introduction to the spatial, socio-cultural and economic characteristics of the Caribbean city, followed by case studies of selected cities in the Dutch, Hispanophone, Francophone and Anglophone Caribbean. It discusses a broad range of disciplinary approaches in examining the urban Caribbean, incorporating perspectives from anthropology, sociology, history, political science, geography and literary and cultural criticism."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Economic History of Puerto Rico written by James L. Dietz and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive and detailed account of the economic history of Puerto Rico from the period of Spanish colonial domination to the present. Interweaving findings of the "new" Puerto Rican historiography with those of earlier historical studies, and using the most recent theoretical concepts to interpret them, James Dietz examines the complex manner in which productive and class relations within Puerto Rico have interacted with changes in its place in the world economy. Besides including aggregate data on Puerto Rico's economy, the author offers valuable information on workers' living conditions and women workers, plus new interpretations of development since Operation Bootstrap. His evaluation of the island's export-oriented economy has implications for many other developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Coastal and Estuarine Studies, Volume 61. The effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and related climate change on shallow coral reefs are gaining considerable attention for scientific and economic reasons worldwide. Although increased scientific research has improved our understanding of the response of coral reefs to climate change, we still lack key information that can help guide reef management. Research and monitoring of coral reef ecosystems over the past few decades have documented two major threats related to increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2: (1) increased sea surface temperatures and (2) increased seawater acidity (lower pH). Higher atmospheric CO2 levels have resulted in rising sea surface temperatures and proven to be an acute threat to corals and other reef-dwelling organisms. Short periods (days) of elevated sea surface temperatures by as little as 1–2°C above the normal maximum temperature has led to more frequent and more widespread episodes of coral bleaching-the expulsion of symbiotic algae. A more chronic consequence of increasing atmospheric CO2 is the lowering of pH of surface waters, which affects the rate at which corals and other reef organisms secrete and build their calcium carbonate skeletons. Average pH of the surface ocean has already decreased by an estimated 0.1 unit since preindustrial times, and will continue to decline in concert with rising atmospheric CO2. These climate-related Stressors combined with other direct anthropogenic assaults, such as overfishing and pollution, weaken reef organisms and increase their susceptibility to disease.

Download or read book Marac written by William Milliken and published by . This book was released on 1998-03-06 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few tropical ecosystems have been subjected to multi-disciplinary investigations as broad and exhaustive as those carried out on the Ilha de Maraca, a riverine island in the Brazilian Amazon. This diverse and remarkable ecological reserve, in Brazil s northernmost Amazon state of Roraima, includes environments and habitats ranging from rainforests and semi-deciduous forests to natural savannas, lakes, rivers and palm swamps. These have been subjected to an in-depth international scientific study whose primary aim was to undertake one of the most detailed ecological surveys ever conducted in Amazonia. The results of this enormous body of research, involving the collaborative fieldwork of some 200 workers, span the reserve s geology, geomorphology, botany, zoology, phenology, soils, limnology, ecology and historical human occupation. These have been carefully drawn together in this volume in such a manner as to provide not only a coherent and scholarly picture of an unique and fascinating environment, but also an important and enduring source of reference for a broad spectrum of disciplines to the Amazon environment. This book is a timely reminder of the crucial importance of our understanding of rainforest components and their interrelationships, appearing as it does at a period when there is an intense interest in this extremely endangered ecosystem.

Download or read book The Mediterranean region under climate change written by Collectif and published by IRD Éditions. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on “scientific evidence” to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines.
