Book excerpt: Since 1991, the Tanzanian government has moved to liberalize the market for cashew nuts to reverse a long- term decline in this important traditional export industry. Although the liberalization process has been confusing and nontransparent, and although problems of logistics, finance, and protected vested interests remain, some positive results are evident-- and the future prospects for the recovery of the industry and for the returns to participating farmers and traders are favorable.

Download or read book Privatization and Deregulation in Global Perspective written by Dennis J. Gayle and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume the leading scholars and practitioners in the field provide a comprehensive, in-depth examination of trends in privatization throughout the world. Focusing primarily on the experiences of seventeen countries--including developing countries, advanced industrial nations, and socialist states--the book explores theoretical approaches toward the issues inherent in privatization and deregulation, specifies techniques for successful privatization, and examines the cost-benefits and limits of privatization policies. The contributors then present a series of twenty detailed case studies which assess the actual problems and prospects associated with privatization and deregulation policy choices across varied sociopolitical systems and a range of economic sectors. The result is the most extensive comparative public policy analysis yet published on the subject of privatization and deregulation. Following an introductory overview which addresses the interaction between privatization, deregulation and market liberalization within both developed and developing country policy environments, the contributors discuss the philosophical bases of privatization policies, examine the seminal experiences of Britain and the United States, and identify factors responsible for successful privatization efforts. This is followed by case studies of privatization in such sectors as finance, transportation, health care, housing, and telecommunications around the world. After special sectoral studies of developing country finance, debt-equity conversions, and international air transport, the authors successively survey the experience of privatization in selected Latin American, Caribbean, West African and Asian developing nations; in the advanced industrial nations of Canada, France, New Zealand, and Sweden; and in the socialist countries of China, Hungary, and Poland. In their conclusion, the editors discuss the immediate implications of the contributors' findings and suggest research directions for the future. Numerous explanatory tables and figures are included, making this an ideal supplemental text for courses in business, government, and public policy.
Download or read book Agricultural Markets Beyond Liberalization written by Aad van Tilburg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural markets have entered a long-term process of liberalization, with the aim of reducing imposed market imperfections such as monopolistic public trade, entry barriers and subsidies. The experience of more than a decade of agriculture liberalization offers a good opportunity to review and analyze the outcome of this process and to draw lessons for the future. The central topic in Agricultural Markets Beyond Liberalization is the relationship between market structure and how markets perform in a dynamic context during a liberalization process. The topic is studied from both a micro and macro viewpoint and refers to different types of agricultural markets. This volume brings together the dynamics of agricultural markets in several parts of the world, with a special focus on transition economics and Africa. The different studies cover geographical areas as wide as a district as well as a group of countries, and institutions from individual contracts to multi-national organizations. The analysis of liberalization under different circumstances, and the different methods of analysis used by the authors provide a valuable foundation for the assessment of liberalization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ... a highly original and valuable contribution on an important and most timely topic... No other book on Middle Eastern political economy matches this one in combining clarity of focus and breadth of geographic coverage. - Robert Bianchi. An international group of specialists take stock of the problems and prospects for privatization of state-run economies and other liberalization efforts in a wide range of countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Although privatization and liberalization are frequently regarded as economic measures, the contributors demonstrate that it is the politics of such reforms that often determines the success or failure of economic policy changes. The countries under review share a variety of economic and political characteristics, yet are sufficiently different in their response to the call for privatization to constitute useful cases for comparative political and economic analysis. Countries studied include Egypt, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Algeria. The contributors are Abdel-Monem Said Aly, Laurie A. Brand, Kiren Aziz Chaudhry, Iliya Harik, Fred H. Lawson, Marcie J. J. Sullivan, and Dirk Vandewalle.

Book excerpt: The Decade Of The Eighties And The Early Nineties Of The Last Century Have Witnessed Changes In The World Economy And In International Economic And Financial Relationship. Several Governments In The Developing Countries Have Recently Embarked On A Liberalization Of Their Foreign Trade And Financial Markets; Many Have Also Decontrolled Domestic Prices And Investment Decisions. The Economies Of Eastern Europe And The Commonwealth Of Independent States (Cis) Have Also Begun To Establish New Political Structures And To Liberalise Their Economies. Liberalisation Policy Is Contemplated As A Measure Of Primary Importance And Is Expected To Improve The Allocation Of An Economy S Resources, Lead To A Greater Efficiency, Expand The Economy S Output, And Accelerate Its Growth. Such A Transition From A Less To A More Liberal Economy Raised Issues Of Great Interest To Policy Makers And Economists Alike.Reform Of Economic Policies In Developing Countries Is One Of The Most Frequently, And Least Understood Efforts Of The Last Decade. The Book Systematically Deals And Analyses The Dynamics Of Liberalisation Process And Compares The Countries Response In Considerable Detail. Struck By The Differences In Their Subsequent Economic Performance, A Closer Analysis Reveals That Their Experience Contradicts The Conventional View That The Ability To Absorb Shocks Depends On The Size Of The Shock, A Country S Experience With Inflation, Its Degree Of Outward Economic Orientation, And Its Various Political Attributes. Genuine Reforms Are Necessary If Countries Are To Achieve Sustained Growth In Real Incomes And Increase In Living Standards.Current International Developments Confirm That The Book Is Dealing With A Question Of Some Urgency: What Can A Developing Country Do To Ensure That It Will Adjust Smoothly And Swiftly After A Macro-Economic Shock? To Find Out What Factors Influence Adjustability, The Study Explores The Recent Stabilization Experience Of Some Developing Countries Around The World, Looking For Any Signs Of A Relationship Between Stabilization Policy And Economic Growth. It Examines The Various Components Of Policy Which Must Be Reformed Government Spending And Revenue, Trade And Exchange Rates, Controls On Private Sector Activity, Labour Market Regulations Etc. Finally, There Is An Analysis Of Why Reforms, Once Implemented, Succeed Or Fail, Accompanied By A Description Of Several Reform Efforts And Their Outcomes.
Download or read book Small Enterprise Responses to Liberalization in Five African Countries written by Ronald L. Parker and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates three issues concerning the role of indigenous entrepreneurs in the transition from a state-led development strategy to a more market-oriented approach with the private sector taking the lead: 1) the effects of liberalizing the policy regime on the conditions for micro and small-scale enterprises (MSEs); 2) the responsiveness of MSEs to changes in incentives and market conditions; and 3) the capacity of MSEs to mobilize savings, absorb employment, and contribute to growth. The study consolidates the results of surveys undertaken to assess the effects of structural adjustment programs (SAPs) on MSEs in five African countries. The positive effects of SAP reforms on the environment for MSEs included greater access to imported inputs, a shift in relative prices in favor of domestic inputs, and less restrictive regulation of private business. On the negative side, many MSEs faced increasingly intense competition from imports and from a growing supply of self-employed workers. Small-scale enterprises (SSEs) with 6 to 49 workers were generally better able to respond to changing conditions than microenterprises with 1 to 5 workers. They were more likely to change product lines, buy new equipment, and seek export markets. SSE owners were also more likely to have entered businees in response to a market opportunity, whereas microentrepreneurs were more likely to have been motivated by "push" factors such as family tradition and lack of other opportunities.

Download or read book The Impact of Private Sector Participation in Infrastructure written by Luis A. Andres and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-07-25 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure plays a key role in fostering growth and productivity and has been linked to improved earnings, health, and education levels for the poor. Yet Latin America and the Caribbean are currently faced with a dangerous combination of relatively low public and private infrastructure investment. Those investment levels must increase, and it can be done. If Latin American and Caribbean governments are to increase infrastructure investment in politically feasible ways, it is critical that they learn from experience and have an accurate idea of future impacts. This book contributes to this aim by producing what is arguably the most comprehensive privatization impact analysis in the region to date, drawing on an extremely comprehensive dataset.
