Book Regionalism  Development and the Post Commodities Boom in South America

Download or read book Regionalism Development and the Post Commodities Boom in South America written by Ernesto Vivares and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical and multidisciplinary IPE of the unequal structures of South American development and uneven insertions in the global order following the decline of the commodities boom. The work explores the extent to which regional development issues are related to merely a decline of commodities ́ prices and/or to the resilience of the historical structures within an unequal world order. Thus, the authors seek first to analytically explore the regional issues beyond the formal limitations of North American and Eurocentric approaches. Secondly, they empirically scrutinize the complex dimensions of regional inequality and global insertions. Aspects analysed include economic reprimarization, the impact of China, development finance, trade and regional value chains, knowledge and technology, regional and transnational organised crime, cities, economic integration and the Global South.

Book Environmental and Economic Impacts of Decarbonization

Download or read book Environmental and Economic Impacts of Decarbonization written by Óscar Dejuán and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 12th, 2015, at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change held in Paris, 195 countries adopted the first-ever universal and legally binding climate deal. They agreed to decarbonize the economy in order to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2oC relative to the preindustrial levels. Although each country is free to design its own strategy on mitigation and adaptation, it will be bound to such strategy and is supposed to implement the bulk of the adjustments by 2050. Many questions arise from the Paris Agreement that points to a second Industrial Revolution. What are the required changes in the structure of production and in the patterns of consumption? What will be their impacts on emissions, employment and international trade? This book answers these questions from a variety of input-output models able to compute the impacts on specific sectors and regions. This volume has 17 chapters written by 52 co-authors who are specialists in input-output analysis and environmental sustainability. They come from 24 universities, research centers and international agencies all over the world, sharing their commitments to explain important and complex ideas in a way that is understandable to the non-experts and experts alike. Environmental and Economic Impacts of Decarbonization is a very important read for those who study environmental economics, climate change and ecological economics.

Book Perspectivas del Comercio Internacional de Am  rica Latina y el Caribe 2019

Download or read book Perspectivas del Comercio Internacional de Am rica Latina y el Caribe 2019 written by Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean and published by United Nations. This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 2019 el desempeño del comercio mundial de bienes sería el peor desde la crisis financiera. En esta edición de Perspectivas del Comercio Internacional de América Latina y el Caribe se analiza dicho fenómeno, así como las crecientes tensiones comerciales y las repercusiones en el comercio regional. La fuerte desaceleración del comercio mundial responde tanto a la acumulación de barreras comerciales desde 2018 como a otros factores de más larga data. Entre estos se destacan la menor demanda mundial, la creciente sustitución de importaciones por producción nacional en algunas economías, la menor proporción de la producción china que se destina a la exportación, el retroceso de las cadenas globales de valor y la irrupción de nuevas tecnologías que causan un impacto en la naturaleza misma del comercio. En el capítulo II se analiza la forma en que el comercio internacional puede hacer un mayor aporte a la sostenibilidad ambiental. Los vínculos entre comercio y medioambiente se han hecho más visibles desde los años noventa, como muestra el aumento de las controversias comerciales vinculadas con aspectos ambientales y la creciente incorporación de capítulos ambientales en los acuerdos comerciales. Por último, en el capítulo III se examina la situación de la infraestructura y la logística, aspectos clave para el comercio internacional y la producción. Se concluye destacando la necesidad de reexaminar las políticas públicas en materia de concesiones de infraestructura económica y el rol central de la acción regulatoria del Estado, especialmente en el ámbito de la competencia.

Book South   South Regional Financial Arrangements

Download or read book South South Regional Financial Arrangements written by Diana Barrowclough and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how regional cooperation and integration have increased massively in scale and scope in recent years, as developing countries seek new ways to shield themselves from economic turbulence and to kick-start their economies in the face of stagnant global demand. The trend is partly a defense mechanism against the limitations of the international financial system, but also reflects a wider search for new and different growth paths more appropriate with developing countries’ increasing economic and political voice. As a consequence, the landscape of financial and monetary mechanisms has changed dramatically, especially in the ten years since the economic crisis of 2007–2008.

Book The Economics of International Payments Unions and Clearing Houses

Download or read book The Economics of International Payments Unions and Clearing Houses written by Byron G. Auguste and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International payments unions and clearing houses have been employed by 88 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean to liberalise regional trade and payments during the past 50 years. Yet, their impact on participating countries has not been well understood. When the republics of the former Soviet Union were deciding on new monetary regimes, many economists proposed a payments union but could not estimate its potential benefits or risks. This book presents the first fully articulated theory of international payments unions and clearing houses in order to answer the questions: When should a country choose to participate in a payments union? What benefits and costs have actually resulted from existing and past clearing houses? When should countries in a clearing house seek to form a payments union?

Book La Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible en el nuevo contexto mundial y regional

This book was released on 2020-06-19 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este documento se revisan, con una visión de conjunto, las principales tendencias económicas, sociales y ambientales en los contextos mundial y regional que inciden en la implementación de los ODS en América Latina y el Caribe y se evalúa prospectivamente el avance hacia sus metas mediante 72 series estadísticas de los indicadores de los ODS en la región. Para tres temas cruciales (desempleo, pobreza extrema y emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero) se simulan escenarios a 2030. Sobre esas bases, se concluye con una evaluación de los riesgos para la consecución de la Agenda 2030 en la región. En todos los análisis, se incorporan elementos referentes a los efectos de la COVID-19 (coronavirus) en la medida permitida por la información disponible en la última semana de marzo de 2020, siempre reconociendo que la incertidumbre sobre el comportamiento de las variables económicas y sociales obliga a ser cautos en la interpretación de las previsiones de corto y mediano plazo.

Book NAFTA   s Impact on Mexico   s Regional Development

Download or read book NAFTA s Impact on Mexico s Regional Development written by Adrián de León-Arias and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the dynamics of continuity and change in the regional economic development of Mexico and the US border states are analyzed. These studies cover the last 25 years, after the first trade agreement, between a developed and a developing country, tooks place, and where international trade and investment have been combined with a set of relevant local factors such as regional innovation, industrialization patterns, multinational corporations’ modes of operation, public investment, and national content of exports. The book offers researchers a precise identification of stylized facts that characterize the pattern of regional development in Mexico and the US Southwest as well as state-of-the-art applications contrasting hypotheses from new economic geography, endogenous and neo-Schumpeterian economic growth models, and new international trade. To graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the fields of spatial geographic economics, this book offers an excellent source for its updated review of current topics on regional development in Mexico. To policy makers, the book helps to identify policy areas to reinforce the dynamics of regional development. Whereas other books have looked at the several impacts of NAFTA on national economies, productive sectors, and societies, this book analyzes the trade agreement’s impact with a long-term view across the diversity of developments of Mexico ́s regions. As well, the analysis is carried out with the perspective of prospective reforms of a renovated trade agreement between the United States and the new Mexican federal administration . The collaborators in this book are researchers who are experts at the international and national levels in the field of regional economic development. During the last 25 years they have conducted their analyses in different regions of Mexico and the United States as university researchers, advisors to state and federal governments, and as practitioners.

Book The Challenges for Building Regional Integration in the Global South

Download or read book The Challenges for Building Regional Integration in the Global South written by Tullo Vigevani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-08 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes regional integration in South America with a focus on the Mercosur and Brazilian foreign policy from the 1990s. It reviews the history of the Mercosur and identifies the results achieved by the bloc, as well as the causes of difficulties and the reasons for stalemates over nearly 30 years of its existence. The authors identify the complex interrelation between domestic and foreign factors that have shaped Brazilian foreign policy. From 1991 onwards, relations between Latin American countries have changed while the Mercosur developed from a free trade area to a customs union. While intrabloc trade grew, there were huge difficulties in the form of regional institutional affirmation and cooperation. This history is of the utmost importance to understanding regionalism and politics in Latin America. The book therefore has two interrelated analytical dimensions: namely, focus on ideas and identity; and behavior, actions, and economic and political interests. This very topical book is of interest for researchers and students of Brazilian foreign policy and those of Latin American and/or Mercosur countries. Particularly, readers interested in regionalism will find important theoretical and empirical elements in this book, as well as discussions necessary for comprehending the role of big, emerging countries, and the potential and limits to their international role.

Book Regional Financial Cooperation

Download or read book Regional Financial Cooperation written by Jose Antonio Ocampo and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007-08-29 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) publication Using the experience of postwar Western Europe as a benchmark, José Antonio Ocampo and his colleagues assess how regional financial institutions can help developing countries—often at a disadvantage within the global financial framework— finance their investment needs, counteract the volatility of private capital flows, and make their voices heard. The 1997 Asian financial crisis generated extensive debate on the international financial architecture. Through this discussion, it became clear that services by financial institutions— including adequate mechanisms for preventing and managing financial crises, and instruments for safeguarding global macroeconomic and financial stability—are undersupplied. Furthermore, private international capital markets provide finance to developing countries in a way that effectively reduces the ability of those nations to undertake countercyclical macroeconomic policies. International capital markets ration out many developing countries, particularly the poorest, from private global capital markets. While these deficiencies in the financial architecture are clear, the post-1997 debate has done little to evaluate the role that regional institutions could play in improving global financial arrangements. Regional Financial Cooperation aims to fill that important gap.
