Book The New World Fiscal Order

Download or read book The New World Fiscal Order written by C. Eugene Steuerle and published by The Urban Insitute. This book was released on 1996 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments of industrial countries throughout the world are losing control of their finances as expenses outstrip income and they are forced to borrow and thus pay interest rather than shape economic development. Budget, treasury, and financial officials; analysts from international organizations; and academics from the US, Europe, and Japan address the problem by examining the fiscal implications of changing demographics, the yoke of prior commitments, and fiscal policy and worldwide saving and investment. They conclude that the technical means for solving the problem exists, waiting only the political will to abandon prior commitments, finance present commitments, and save for future commitments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite widespread deficit reduction legislation in recent years, the nations of the industrialized world have not gained control over their long-term fiscal policy. The authors examine the triple threat of factors that have brought this problem to a head. They look at demographic issues: the aging of populations and decline in birthrates that burden social security programs. They analyze the yoke of prior commitments -- or current spending based on past decisions. And they address the unsustainable growth of government debt, which eats up a substantial portion of worldwide net saving and poses severe problems. Finally, the authors address the steps needed for nations to effectively plan for its future in an increasingly interdependent world.

Book International Finance in the New World Order

Download or read book International Finance in the New World Order written by H.P. Gray and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the most important developments of the last quarter century relate to the internationalization of financial issues: the advent of free trade areas; the efforts of the European Union in establishing a single currency; burdens of international indebtedness; and the economic growth and development of nations. International financial systems are increasingly fragile and vulnerable in the face of possible international financial shock. Exchange rate issues and other changes in financial conditions have profound consequences not only for multinational corporations which have to devise new ways of managing their global operations, but also for firms and industries at the national level. The papers in this book confront these and other problems in international finance that have arisen in recent years, seeking to identify causal linkages at the global, national and company levels.

Book World Financial Orders

Download or read book World Financial Orders written by Paul Langley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-08-27 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Financial Orders challenges the predominance of neo-liberalism as a mode of knowledge about contemporary world finance, and claims that it neglects the social and political bases as well as the malign consequences of change. He looks to the field of International Political Economy (IPE) to construct an alternative mode, one that critically restores society and politics. An 'historical' approach to IPE is advanced that accounts for modern world finance since the seventeenth century as a succession of structurally distinct hierarchical social orders. This book will be of interest to those working in the field of IPE and to those scholars, researchers and students from across the social sciences who seek to challenge the common-sense, neo-liberal explanation of contemporary world finance.

Book A New World Order

  • Author : Anne-Marie Slaughter
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 2009-02-09
  • ISBN : 1400825997
  • Pages : 361 pages

Download or read book A New World Order written by Anne-Marie Slaughter and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-09 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global governance is here--but not where most people think. This book presents the far-reaching argument that not only should we have a new world order but that we already do. Anne-Marie Slaughter asks us to completely rethink how we view the political world. It's not a collection of nation states that communicate through presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers, and the United Nations. Nor is it a clique of NGOs. It is governance through a complex global web of "government networks." Slaughter provides the most compelling and authoritative description to date of a world in which government officials--police investigators, financial regulators, even judges and legislators--exchange information and coordinate activity across national borders to tackle crime, terrorism, and the routine daily grind of international interactions. National and international judges and regulators can also work closely together to enforce international agreements more effectively than ever before. These networks, which can range from a group of constitutional judges exchanging opinions across borders to more established organizations such as the G8 or the International Association of Insurance Supervisors, make things happen--and they frequently make good things happen. But they are underappreciated and, worse, underused to address the challenges facing the world today. The modern political world, then, consists of states whose component parts are fast becoming as important as their central leadership. Slaughter not only describes these networks but also sets forth a blueprint for how they can better the world. Despite questions of democratic accountability, this new world order is not one in which some "world government" enforces global dictates. The governments we already have at home are our best hope for tackling the problems we face abroad, in a networked world order.

Book Evolution of United States Budgeting

Download or read book Evolution of United States Budgeting written by Annette Meyer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-05-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a fiscal document recording the spending, taxing, and borrowing policies for the coming year, the U.S. budget continues to be a model for other nations. This book focuses on the various phases of budget making, its historical background in fiscal and monetary terms, and special budgetary issues, including the budget balance, credit activities of Government-Sponsored Enterprises, the future health of Social Security, and the budget's relationship to the financial and public goods aspects of the international environment. Covering major changes in the structure and process of budgeting since 1989, when the book was first published, this volume covers new ground in many aspects of fiscal and financial policy, domestically and internationally. Each section of the book is devoted to a different aspect of U.S. budgeting, ranging from the foundations of the present policies, to the annual budget cycle, to the actual methods of accomplishment, and the containment of those policies in the global framework. One section focuses on high visibility issues-Social Security, surpluses, federal debt, and entitlement programs. The book provides a valuable overview for those wishing to understand the budget process and its foundations while aspiring to help improve that process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization is dramatically reshaping policy landscapes, thereby creating new opportunities and threats for governments and firms. The resultant restructuring of policy spaces requires an emphasis on the need to cope with globalization, since the distribution of its costs and benefits is asymmetrical across countries, sectors, firms and factors. Unlike previous books, Coping with Globalization concentrates firmly on conceptual issues, in order to consider in detail the coping strategies of both firms and governments.

  • ISBN : 0815722966

Download or read book The Social Divide written by Margaret Weir and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 1998-02-01 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and Russell Sage Foundation publication The extraordinary swings in the scope and content of the policy agenda during the first Clinton administration revealed a fundamental partisan divide over the social role of the federal government. This book argues that the recent conflicts over social policy represent key elements in strategies that parties designed in an attempt to consolidate their hold over the federal government. Long frustrated by divided government, each party exceeded its electoral mandate in hopes of enacting major policy reforms aimed to shift politics in their direction for the foreseeable future. The book traces the overreaching and limited legislative success that characterized the first Clinton administration's approach to three distinctive features of politics and policymaking: the polarization of political elites; the predominance of advertising campaigns and intense interest group politics as political parties have ceased to mobilize ordinary people; and the unprecedented role that budgetary concerns now play in social policymaking. Although neither party managed to enact its major transforming agenda, Congress did pass new policies--most notably welfare reform--that together with a host of other changes in the states and the private sector altered the landscape for social policy. The poor have been the biggest losers as Democrats and Republicans have fought to win the middle class over to their vision of the future. The authors first analyze the institutions and tools of policymaking, including Congress, the political use of public opinion polling, and the politics of the deficit. They then consider policies designed to win over the middle class, including health care policy, employer-provided social benefits, wages and jobs, and crime policy. Last, they address policies targeted at the disadvantaged, including welfare, affirmative action, and urban policy. In addition to the editor, the contributors include John Ferejohn, Lawrence R. Jacobs, Robert Y. Sha

Book Paper Promises

Download or read book Paper Promises written by Philip Coggan and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Spear's Best Business Book Award Longlisted for the 2012 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award For the past forty years western economies have splurged on debt. Now, as the reality dawns that many debts cannot be repaid, we find ourselves again in crisis. But the oncoming defaults have a time-worn place in our economic history. As with the crises in the 1930s and 1970s, governments will fall, currencies will lose their value, and new systems will emerge. Just as Britain set the terms of the international system in the nineteenth century, and America in the twentieth century, a new system will be set by today's creditors in China and the Middle East. In the process, rich will be pitted against poor, young against old, public sector workers against taxpayers and one country against another. In Paper Promises, Economist columnist Philip Coggan helps us to understand the origins of this mess and how it will affect the new global economy by explaining how our attitudes towards debt have changed throughout history, and how they may be about to change again.

Book Incomplete Urbanism  A Critical Urban Strategy For Emerging Economies

Download or read book Incomplete Urbanism A Critical Urban Strategy For Emerging Economies written by William Siew Wai Lim and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incomplete Urbanism is a dynamic, hybrid interactive concept, which destabilizes the current architectural and urban theories and practices. Its main characteristics are indeterminacy, inconsistency and changeability, which are particularly challenging in the context of the New World Order and the fast emerging global digital network. It is a concept that can be effectively applied to any sizeable section of existing cities without the need for major readjustments and can be implemented at different rates in response to specific local conditions. As for the word ‘critical’, I use it deliberately in order to convey the essential need to think creatively and positively in a controversial contesting and social-orientated manner about what we do, as it will constructively influence the way we do things that impact our values and social environment.

Book Multinationals on Trial

Download or read book Multinationals on Trial written by Professor Henry Veltmeyer and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role and economic power of corporations that dominate the world economy has generated considerable controversy. The most heated debate and the most critical questions surrounding the role of multinational corporations relate to foreign direct investment (FDI). This key volume offers an entirely fresh perspective of the role of multinationals and the development impact of FDI. Contrary to prevailing opinion, it examines whether imperialism is a much more useful concept for describing and explaining the dynamics of world development than globalization. FDI is a mechanism for empire-centred capital accumulation, a powerful lever for political control and for re-ordering the world economy. This is a much needed analysis of global capitalism and its impact around the world, resulting in an excellent resource for students, academics and activists.
