Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelles sont les chances de pays en développement de tirer des bénéficies de la globalisation ?

This book was released on 1993-01-01T23:00:00+01:00 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les économistes ont tendance à considérer la globalisation comme une bonne chose, alors que d'autres, dont souvent les pouvoirs publics, y voient une menace pour la stabilité et pour l'autonomie des politiques nationales. La régionalisation est, parfois, considérée comme un remède partiel à cette perte évidente de souveraineté mais, pour certains observateurs, elle est une part intégrante de la globalisation. Deux sujets de préoccupation nuancent cependant les effets de la globalisation : d'une part, dans les pays en développement, le fait qu'une partie de la population ne profitera pas de l'amélioration des échanges ; de l'autre, dans les pays industrialisés, l'acuité des problèmes causés par les difficultés d'ajustement du marché du travail. Cet ouvrage examine l'ensemble de ces questions, et souligne l'actualité d'un débat dont les enjeux sont déterminants. Ce faisant, il s'efforce de réduire le champ de la controverse, en précisant la signification et la portée des phénomènes de globalisation et de régionalisation.

Download or read book Globalisation and local initiatives written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2004 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans les années 1950-1960, Louis-Joseph Lebret proposait une ouverture lucide et courageuse de la science économique en la reliant aux autres sciences sociales, approche qu'il définissait dans son cours brésilien de 1947 comme la recherche des bases d'une économie humaine. La tentative du Nouvel ordre économique international dans les années 1970, la publication régulière par le PNUD depuis 1990 du Rapport sur le développement humain ont confirmé le bien-fondé de ses intuitions. En rappelant l'actualité de la pensée de L.-l. Lebret, ce livre offre aussi une synthèse des leçons tirées d'une quinzaine d'expériences du réseau et des débats d'un séminaire qui s'est tenu à Addis-Abeba les 28-30 octobre 2001. Un séminaire qui a permis à des acteurs de terrain de se rencontrer et, aussi, de dialoguer avec des représentants d'organisations internationales. La description des expériences collectées par le réseau pour la préparation de ce séminaire figure en seconde partie de l'ouvrage. L'un des messages de cet ouvrage, c'est qu'il n'y a pas de solutions toute faites aux problèmes de développement. L'attention aux détails et la délégation des pouvoirs de décision aux intéressés sont les clés du succès. Dans ce temps de la mondialisation, il faut laisser toute leur place aux initiatives locales.

This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La globalisation est considérée aujourd'hui, dans une majorité d'écrits et de discours, comme une réalité incontournable et comme allant de soi. La répétition de cette affirmation lui donne un pouvoir intimidant. Face à " la course folle " vers la globalisation, il est primordial de se questionner sur les différents aspects de ce processus, qui touche à des degrés divers toutes les sociétés, et de réfléchir sur ses multiples manifestations et conséquences dans les pays du tiers-monde.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’objectif de cet ouvrage est d'appréhender les lieux du développement économique et social à différentes échelles, en partant du plus local, au national, grand régional, jusqu’à une vision d’ensemble du monde d’aujourd’hui. Il a pour but d’aborder le développement par les processus, à partir desquels une nouvelle lecture de la régionalisation du globe est possible. Inverser le regard, penser autrement la globalisation en regardant les Nords depuis les Suds, telle est l'ambition de la géographie du développement. Après l'analyse des héritages dans les mots, les voies, les trajectoires étatiques et les explosions démographiques du monde en développement, l'ouvrage aborde les grandes dynamiques à l’œuvre actuellement dans le cadre de la mondialisation. Il propose enfin une lecture régionale des Suds en termes de nouveaux pôles de puissance, de lieux d’accroche et de laissés-pour-compte. Avec une cartographie originale et des étude de cas sous formes d'encadrés.

Download or read book Globalisation Enterprise and Knowledge written by Kenneth King and published by Symposium Books Ltd. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines some of the major challenges faced by African education by placing them in two important contexts. First, it explores how new economic dynamics, linked to globalisation, impact upon educational priorities and possibilities. Second, it stresses the need to locate educational policies and practices alongside approaches in other sectors. This leads to an analysis of the intersections between education, training and enterprise development. Through detailed examinations of recent policies and practices in Ghana, Kenya and South Africa, the book shows how different national approaches emerge in spite of apparent convergences in donor agency policy and international policy discourses. Aimed at policy makers and practitioners as well as academics, the book outlines a series of theoretical, policy and practical challenges for the future of African education and its broader role in development.

Download or read book Globalisation FDI Regional Integration and Sustainable Development written by Anthony Bende-Nabende and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: Anthony Bende-Nabende focuses on the ongoing globalization process, which has sparked an unprecedented world-wide debate. He provides a one-stop centre for a balanced coverage of the theoretical, empirical and policy issues linking globalization with foreign direct investment, regional economic integration, and economic growth and sustainable development. This stimulating book comprehensively explores the theoretical and empirical literature inter-linking the aforementioned factors from the anti-globalization activists’ viewpoint, and from the pro-globalization proponents’ perspective. It proposes policies that individual countries should pursue, based on the recognition that globalization generates both positive and negative effects. These comprise policies required to maximise the economic benefits globalization may generate, and those that aim to eliminate or at least minimize the negative development-oriented effects globalization may engender and, hence, to propel sustainable development. The book will be an essential guide for students, academics and those involved in international economics, environmental studies, international relations, and growth and development studies.

Download or read book Globalisation and Services driven Economic Growth written by Niels Beerepoot and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following drastic shifts in the spatial organization of goods production, increasingly fierce competition now forces firms also to look critically at how to organize the production of services. While digitization and advances in information and communication technologies have enabled firms to unbundle service production processes, the increased global availability of skilled labour allows for the relocation of ever more of these processes around the world. As a result, a new geography of services production takes shape: a geography that is defined by new interregional and international divisions of labour and held together by increasingly complex global services production networks. This book examines how the reorganisation of services production alters relations between and generates different sets of challenges and opportunities for economic development in the Global North and the Global South. Drawing from 11 case studies probing various aspects of services production in different parts of the world, the book brings out the remarkable heterogeneity and transformative capacities of services. It successively shows how global trade in services creates new interdependencies between services producing and services consuming regions; reveals how services help to mitigate the impact of and contribute to recovery from economic crises in the Global North; and demonstrates how services offshoring fosters economic development and service-sector driven modernisation processes in the Global South. The book’s openness to the heterogeneous and dynamic nature of services production enlarges our understanding of which particular services in which spatiotemporal context have the capacity to generate good jobs, contribute to productivity and drive economic growth. The book stands out from other books in the field in that it combines perspectives on services-driven transformations from both the Global North and the Global South and looks into the role of various services segments. Based on pioneering empirical research and original data it offers a timely contribution to this growing debate. The book provides valuable insights for students, scholars and professionals interested in services, services offshoring, services-driven growth, and socioeconomic transformations in the Global North and South.
