Download or read book Rethinking Productive Development written by Inter-American Development Bank and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Productive transformation requires seizing the opportunities available and opening new ones in a competitive world. Rethinking Productive Development examines the market failures impeding transformation and the government failures that may make the policy remedies worse than the market illness. To address market failures, the authors propose a simple conceptual framework based on the scope and nature of the policy approach. They then systematically analyze country policies through this lens in key areas such as innovation, new firms, financing, human capital, and internationalization to show the power of this way of thinking. Still, the book warns that policymakers cannot be sure what the right policy interventions are and must set up a process to discover them that calls for public-private collaboration. Recognizing that the risk of capture needs to be checked and that even the best policies will fail without the technical, organizational, and political capacity to implement them, the book concludes with ideas on how to design institutions fostering the right incentives and how to grow public sector capabilities over time.

Download or read book Transnational Social Policies written by International Development Research Centre (Canada) and published by IDRC. This book was released on 1999 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relationships between social policy and human development are the subject of much research and theorizing. The literature in this area, however, examines these issues strictly within national contexts. What influence will international agendas such as NAFTA, the World Summit for Social Development, and Habitat II have? Transnational Social Policies specifically addresses the worldwide trend for national policies on human and social development to be increasingly influenced by agendas that are international, or "transnational," in nature. In doing so, the book examines the underlying international developmental, ethical, economic, and political issues shaping national policies in health, education, and employment in the developing world. This book's focus on the "transnational" character of the social policy debate makes it a truly unique and original contribution to the literature. It will appeal to the academic community, worldwide, in international development, public policy and administration, and social work; policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in the field of public (social) policy; and the international community of individuals and organizations working in international social development.

Based on a blend of knowledge and perspectives from a variety of disciplines this volume examines the human-environment interaction in Africa, with a focus on the economic, social and political processes that generate environmental change and problems in this region. Currently there are controversies over and challenges to such concepts and issues as environment-human relationships, ecological resilience, decertification, sustainable development, globalization and North-South dialogue. This book draws upon past and present research findings to discuss these issues. It features: an examination of the characteristics, processes and patterns of environmental crises; an analysis of the principal issues and challenges facing policy makers and implementers; and the promotion of awareness of theoretical, empirical and comparative research. The volume not only seeks to answer some of the old questions, but also open up new ones for further discussion.

This book was released on 1982-01-01 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time of high unemployment and increasingly constrained public resources, more and more attention is being focused on how to further the private sector's involvement in expanding opportunities for individuals, especially the hard-to-employ, to obtain long-term productive employment. Although at least 12 pieces of federal legislation that affect the educationally and economically disadvantaged are due to expire soon, and their renewal is not certain, there is a way to continue efforts to address the needs of the hard-to-employ. This way (1) places a greater reliance on the private sector; (2) reduces, but does not eliminate, the demand for public resources; (3) supports efforts to improve the nation's rate of productivity; and (4) continues to address the needs of the long-term unemployed. There should be a clear understanding by all involved--government, business, labor, and community groups--that any effective partnership must involve the leaders of the local business community. In the past, Private Industry Councils (PICs) have been used to fulfill the government-private industry partnership; however, problems with PICs must be overcome. It is crucial that the PICs involve top business leadership; provide independence, flexibility, and a stronger role for business; define accountability and responsibility; prepare for continuity; and avoid unnecessary regulation. All of these recommendations are predicated on sustained effective leadership, both public and private, and a national policy to reduce inflation and produce more stable economic growth. (KC)
