This book presents development strategies and lessons based on a large range of 'success' countries across the developing world. In addition to the country cases, it presents regional and overall syntheses that cover orthodox vs. heterodox policies; the importance of capability, primary exports, diversification and financing; managing diversity; the role of institutions and governance; and human development. The book reveals much diversity in successful development strategies offered by the various select countries: for example, the 'disinterested-government' political economy of China; the democratically supported, high-service-sector development approach of India; the 'Washington-Consensus-based' reforms of Ghana and China; the diversification strategies of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Oman; the dynamic orthodox-heterodox strategy of Malaysia and Vietnam; the effective natural-resource management of Botswana, Oman, Bahrain and the UAE; the social-sector underpinnings of development in Costa Rica and Tunisia; and the democratic political system of managing diversity in India. This refreshing approach to studying development will interest researchers, teachers, students, development practitioners and policymakers alike.

This monograph seeks the key to good economic policy by explaining Singapore's remarkably rapid development-the world's fastest-growing economy between 1960 and 2000-and asks whether the city-state's success can be translated to other countries. Engineering prosperity is at the heart of Singapore. The book demonstrates how exceptional cohesion amongst economic outcomes, policies, institutions, values, and leadership over a long period account for the impressive results obtained. The author is careful not to present Singapore as a model to be copied uncritically in its specifics but as a case history that illustrates general principles which other countries might wish to apply to their particular circumstances.Well-researched yet highly readable, Singapore's Success: Engineering Economic Growth will appeal to Singaporeans and a wide international audience, including policy-makers and advisors, students of development economics, and anyone interested in the quest for sustained economic growth.

Achieving economic growth is one of today's key challenges. In this groundbreaking book, Michael Best argues that to understand how successful growth happens we need an economic framework that focuses on production, governance, and skills. This production-centric framework is the culmination of three simultaneous journeys. The first has been Best's visits to hundreds of factories worldwide, starting early as the son of a labor organiser and continuing through his work as an academic and industrial consultant. The second is a survey of two hundred years of economic thought from Babbage to Krugman, with stops along the way for Marx, Marshall, Young, Penrose, Richardson, Schumpeter, Kuznets, Abramovitz, Keynes, and Jacobs. The third is a tour of historical episodes of successful and failed transformations, focusing sharply on three core elements -- the production system, business organisation, and skill formation -- and their interconnections. Best makes the case that government should create the institutional infrastructures needed to support these elements and their interconnections rather than subsidise individual enterprises.

Globalization, by which is meant the increasing economic interdependence among nations, has been a critical ingredient in enabling enormous improvement in mankind's condition. While progress has not always been smooth, and has not come without dislocation for some, the economic policy challenge has been, and is, to enable the realization of the large potential benefits of globalization while simultaneously reducing the negative side effects and providing safety nets for those whose lives are disrupted in the process. This volume focuses on the successes of globalization, and some of the main economic policy challenges and solutions that arise to enhance the benefits and lower the costs. It covers different aspects of globalization, sovereign debt restructuring, development of the financial sector and financial crises in Asia, Turkey, Brazil, etc. The final part of the book covers multilateral international organizations, namely the World Trade Organization, the IMF and the World Bank. Contents: OverviewSuccesses of Globalization:Be Careful What you Wish ForTrade Policy and Economic Development: How We LearnIncreased Understanding of Supply Side EconomicsEconomic Policy Reform:DeToqueville's ‘Dangerous Moment’: The Importance of Getting Reforms RightThe Crucial Role of Financial Intermediation for Rapid GrowthLessons from the Asian Financial ExperienceEconomic Policy Reforms in Brazil and TurkeySovereign Debt Restructuring:A New Approach to Sovereign Debt RestructuringSovereign Workouts: An IMF PerspectiveMultilateralism for the Twenty-First Century:The Founding of the Bretton Woods Institutions: A View from the 1990sThe Clash between Economics and Politics in the World Trade OrganizationAt the Service of Nations: The Role of the IMF in the Modern Global EconomyAn Enduring Need: The Importance of Multilateralism in the Twenty-First CenturyLooking Forward:Postscript Readership: Economists, political scientists, policy makers, finance professionals, professors, students, and others interested in financial crises and globalization. Keywords:Multilateralism;International Economy;IMF;WTO;Financial Crises;Sovereign Debt;International Economic SystemKey Features:Focuses on the successes of globalization and some of the main economic policy challenges and solutions that arise to enhance the benefits and lower the costsCovers multilateral international organizations, namely the World Trade Organization, the IMF and the World BankReviews:“Anne Krueger has had an exceptionally distinguished career as both an academic economist and high-ranking policy official at the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. This wide-ranging collection of essays and speeches is full of wisdom and insight. Anyone interested in understanding the forces shaping the world economy will profit from reading this engaging and important book.”Prof. Douglas Irwin Department of Economics, Dartmouth College “These essays recount and celebrate the unprecedented growth of the world economy in the last half century, and the role of freer trade and other liberalizing reforms in bringing it about. They go on to explore the pitfalls and frustrations that had to be surmounted to achieve this success, and the present and future challenges confronting national and international policymakers. Throughout these pages, readers will gain from the accumulated experience, wisdom, judgment and observational acuity of one of the world's premier policy economists.”Prof. Arnold C Harberger Department of Economics, University of California at Los Angeles “Anne Krueger has been successful in arguing that economic reforms toward market mechanisms in developing countries are good; role of economic policies in making markets work is crucial; and strengthening of IMF, World Bank, and WTO is important. Her proposal as First Deputy Managing Director of IMF on the sovereign debt restructuring mechanism was an important insight, as we see Euro zone countries struggle to fight off a crisis. This book presents her thoughts on the topics on which she has worked for the past fifteen years. The book is a must-read for researchers, business persons and students in the field.”Prof. Takatoshi Ito Graduate School of Economics, University of Tokyo “Learning from experiences and anticipating, and then responding better to, future crises is the thrust of these well–reasoned, well–written essays.”CHOICE “The real benefit to the reader comes from reading the book in its entirely because Krueger has an unparalleled knowledge and experience with the real trade side of the economy, the international macro and finance side of the economy, and the international organizations that deal with managing the systems of global exchanges. Ultimately, even when Krueger's ideas about the way forward are not fully persuasive, they contain wisdom, are worth thinking about, and provide a starting point for anyone who wants to contribute to this debate. Struggling with Success is highly recommended to anyone who cares about the future of globalization.”Global Journal of Economics

Despite starting as one of the poorest countries in the mid-1980s, Vietnam has achieved rapid developmental progress, reaching lower middle-income status in 2010. In line with rapid economic growth, Vietnam has achieved impressive progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) during this time. This paper sheds light on some elements of Vietnam’s success story, highlighting crucial policies in education and electricity sectors. It undertakes a forward-looking costing exercise that focusses on five sectors – education, health, roads, water, and electricity infrastructure. Achieving the remaining SDGs in Vietnam will be a challenge, with total annual additional spending needs in the 5 subsectors estimated at 7 percent of GDP by 2030.
