Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The United Nations system was a pioneer in the field of technical cooperation, and capacity development is its central mandate. UNDP has long played an important leadership role in both, as a source of technical cooperation funds and advisory services and as the home of innovative intellectual research and analysis on how to make them more efficient and effective. This book [presents] a vision that builds on new possibilities for knowledge-sharing, for which the revolution in information and communications technologies offers ample opportunities... a vision that is firmly founded on genuine ownership by the ultimate beneficiaries of development efforts: the government and citizens of developing countries' From the Foreword by MARK MALLOCH BROWN, Administrator, UNDP Capacity for Development brings together innovative and well-supported studies of technical cooperation along with its potential to build sustainable capacities in developing countries, by enhancing the knowledge, skills and productive aptitudes of their populations. A team of eminent development professionals and economists examine the achievements of technical cooperation and offer recommendations for reform in the context of globalization, democratisation, the information revolution and the growth of capacities in the South. They analyse the issues from three perspectives: ownership, capacity enablers and knowledge. The team show how the complex processes involved can be restructured to produce local involvement and empowerment, set out a normative framework for the input from society, and describe a new paradigm of knowledge for capacity building in the network age. This book will be essential reading for all development professionals and policy-makers, as well as providing an invaluable research and teaching resource.

Download or read book The New Multinationals written by Mauro F. Guillén and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new breed of multinational companies is reshaping competition in global industries. For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, multinational firms came from the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Over the last two decades, however, new multinational firms from upper-middle-income economies (e.g. Spain, Ireland, Portugal, South Korea, and Taiwan), developing countries (e.g. Egypt, Indonesia, and Thailand), and oil-rich countries (e.g. United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Russia, and Venezuela) have become formidable global competitors. These firms do not necessarily possess technological or marketing skills. In contrast to the classic multinationals, they found strength in their ability to organize, manage, execute, and network. They pursued a variety of strategies including vertical integration, product diversification, learning by doing, exploration of new capabilities, and collaboration with other firms. This book documents this phenomenon, identifies key capabilities of the new multinationals, and provides a new conceptual framework to understand its causes and implications.

Download or read book Content Based Instruction in Foreign Language Education written by Stephen B. Stryker and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers concrete and practical ideas for implementing content-based instruction—using subject matter rather than grammar—through eleven case studies of cutting-edge models in a broad variety of languages, academic settings, and levels of proficiency. The highly innovative models illustrate content-based instruction programs for both commonly and less-commonly taught languages—Arabic, Croatian, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Russian, Serbian, and Spanish—and for proficiency levels ranging from beginners to fluent speakers. They include single-teacher and multi-teacher contexts and such settings as typical language department classrooms, specialty schools, intensive language programs, and university programs in foreign languages across the curriculum. All of the contributors are pioneers and practitioners of content-based instruction, and the methods they present are based on actual classroom experiences. Each describes the rationale, curriculum design, materials, and evaluation procedures used in an actual curriculum and discusses the implications of the approach for adult language acquisition.
Download or read book Geographies of Forced Eviction written by Katherine Brickell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a close look at forced evictions, drawing on empirical studies and conceptual frameworks from both the Global North and South. It draws attention to arenas where multiple logics of urban dispossession, violence and insecurity are manifest, and where wider socio-economic, political and legal struggles converge. The authors highlight the need to apply emotional and affective registers of dispossession and insecurity to the socio-political and financial economies driving forced evictions across geographic scales. The chapters each consider the distinct urban logics of precarious housing or involuntary displacements that stretch across London, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai and Colombo. A timely addition to existing literature on urban studies, this collection will be of great interest to policy makers and scholars of human geography, development studies, and sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Costumo sempre ter lapsos de estudos em diferentes temas, normalmente focando naqueles que estou escrevendo um livro sobre ou que nesse momento estou mais interessado. No passado escrevi “A nova economia austríaca”, que unia tanto Narrative Economics, Complexity Economics de Brian W. Arthur, economia comportamental e introduzindo a lógica proposicional de Hazlitt, que veremos aqui com certeza. Meu objetivo não era mudar a escola de economia austríaca, mas na verdade buscar na Complexity Economics, fundamentos que poderiam fazer uma base muito mais forte nos conceitos do modelo aústriaco, que necessitavam sim de mudanças, uma visão mais algorítmica e lógica para explicarmos processos econômicos ainda sim mantendo as obras dos mestres do passado. Seja Von Mises, Rothbard, Von Wieser, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, Frederic Bastiat, Gustave Molinari, entre muitos outros, que pegando acertos e erros de cada um e adicionando originalidade no tema com foco em explicar a economia de forma eficiente, se baseando sim nos mestres do passado, que nos permitiram uma base para ver ainda mais longe. Aqui, desejo novamente ir além, mas realmente falar de temas mais recentes, e as mudanças recentes com o que temos nas criptomoedas, em NFT’s, e nas inovações de Fintechs, Law Techs, e outros tipos de empresas que criaram sistemas bem diferentes do passado e que aumentam de fato a eficiência de sistemas bancários em comparação com os tradicionais. Teremos aqui uma perspectiva mais da ciência da computação da economia, além da parte política e financeira que também são relevantes.
