Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Afrika, Note: 1,1, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg (Zentrum für Demokratieforschung), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Does democracy promote economic development? Im Gegensatz zu autokratischen Regimen scheinen demokratische Systeme per se ein größeres Angebot an Finanzdienstleitungen zu offerieren und somit der breiten Bevölkerung vermehrt Möglichkeiten für Entrepreneurships zu verschaffen (Kasekende 2007). Die unter dem Begriff good governance resümierten Prinzipien gewähren dazu die nötige Planungs- und Rechtssicherheit, senken politische Risiken (Konflikte) und verhindern Patronage und Klientelismus (Rivera-Batiz 2002, Keffer/ Knack 1997). Sozio-psychologische Faktoren, wie Glaubwürdigkeit und Vertrauen, beeinflussen die gesamtwirtschaftliche Ersparnis, die wiederum in direktem Zusammenhang zur Investitionsquote steht (Englebert 2000). Auch der Humankapitalstock, "[...] as a critical determinant of economic progress" (Barro/Lee 2000: 1) und als Grundlage für technologischen Fortschritt steht in positivem Zusammenhang zur ökonomischen Entwicklung (vgl. Dewey 1966: 63). Dabei gehört der Einfluss politischer Regime auf die ökonomische Leistungsfähigkeit zu den umstrittensten Fragen der politischen Ökonomie. Obgleich unter Wissenschaftlern hinsichtlich der Ursachen für Afrikas Armut, wie zum Beispiel fehlenden Eigentumsrechten, Mangel an Investitionen und ein zu geringer Kapitalstock, weitestgehend Konsens herrscht (vgl. Emizet 2006: 855), präsentieren empirische Studien gegenteilige Beweise zum gesamtökonomischen Nutzen demokratischer Institutionen. Policy-making im Zuge internationaler Entwicklungszusammenarbeit birgt unter diesen Umständen die Gefahr negativer Effekte aufgrund der Wahl ungeeigneter Maßnahmen und Steuerungsinstrumente.

“An important contribution to the global debate about growth, equality, climate change, and the path to a viable human future.” —David Korten, international bestselling author of When Corporations Rule the World The biggest challenges facing human wellbeing today—widening income inequality, continuing global poverty, and environmental degradation—may be simple to solve in theory. But, because we are required to come up with solutions that are acceptable to a political majority in the rich world, they are much harder to solve in practice. Most of the commonly proposed “solutions” are simply not acceptable to most people. Many of these proposed solutions—like stopping the use of fossil fuels—require a sacrifice today in order to obtain an uncertain advantage in the far future. Therefore they are politically infeasible in the modern world, which is marked by relatively short term thinking. In Reinventing Prosperity, Graeme Maxton and Jorgen Randers provide a new approach altogether through thirteen recommendations which are both politically acceptable and which can be implemented in the current period of slow economic growth around the world. Reinventing Prosperity solves the forty-year-old growth/no-growth standoff, by providing a solution to income inequality, continuing global poverty and climate change, a solution that will provide for economic growth but with a declining ecological footprint. Reinventing Prosperity shows us how to live better on our finite planet—and in ways we can agree on. “An essential guide to those who want to change the world for the better—and for certain.” —Ha-Joon Chang, international bestselling author of 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism “[A] well-argued book . . . explaining complex issues in a style that is clear, logical, and succinct.” —Publishers Weekly

The question of the effectiveness or counter-productivity of foreign aid is one of the great issues facing the world today. This volume arose from a study conducted for an inter-governmental task force. The team surveyed the published literature, reviewed existing evaluations of aid projects, and undertook seven detailed country studies. The basic finding is that the majority of aid succeeds in terms of its own objectives and obtains a reasonable rate of return. At the same time, this book analyses the frequent failings of aid projects, compares these failings with other forms of private and public investment, and proposes measures for improving aid effectiveness. New to this edition: For the second edition the book has been shortened, removing mainly the more technical parts. The data in the text and tables have been brought up to date, the text has been revised, and each chapter has a new section added reviewing the areas of debate and research findings since 1986. The bibliography has also been updated.

The Industrial Revolution, powered by oil and other fossil fuels, is spiraling into a dangerous endgame. The price of gas and food are climbing, unemployment remains high, the housing market has tanked, consumer and government debt is soaring, and the recovery is slowing. Facing the prospect of a second collapse of the global economy, humanity is desperate for a sustainable economic game plan to take us into the future. Here, Jeremy Rifkin explores how Internet technology and renewable energy are merging to create a powerful "Third Industrial Revolution." He asks us to imagine hundreds of millions of people producing their own green energy in their homes, offices, and factories, and sharing it with each other in an "energy internet," just like we now create and share information online. Rifkin describes how the five-pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution will create thousands of businesses, millions of jobs, and usher in a fundamental reordering of human relationships, from hierarchical to lateral power, that will impact the way we conduct commerce, govern society, educate our children, and engage in civic life. Rifkin's vision is already gaining traction in the international community. The European Union Parliament has issued a formal declaration calling for its implementation, and other nations in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, are quickly preparing their own initiatives for transitioning into the new economic paradigm. The Third Industrial Revolution is an insider's account of the next great economic era, including a look into the personalities and players — heads of state, global CEOs, social entrepreneurs, and NGOs — who are pioneering its implementation around the world.

A rigorous, pathbreaking analysis demonstrating that a country's prosperity is directly related in the long run to the skills of its population. In this book Eric Hanushek and Ludger Woessmann make a simple, central claim, developed with rigorous theoretical and empirical support: knowledge is the key to a country's development. Of course, every country acknowledges the importance of developing human capital, but Hanushek and Woessmann argue that message has become distorted, with politicians and researchers concentrating not on valued skills but on proxies for them. The common focus is on school attainment, although time in school provides a very misleading picture of how skills enter into development. Hanushek and Woessmann contend that the cognitive skills of the population—which they term the “knowledge capital” of a nation—are essential to long-run prosperity. Hanushek and Woessmann subject their hypotheses about the relationship between cognitive skills (as consistently measured by international student assessments) and economic growth to a series of tests, including alternate specifications, different subsets of countries, and econometric analysis of causal interpretations. They find that their main results are remarkably robust, and equally applicable to developing and developed countries. They demonstrate, for example, that the “Latin American growth puzzle” and the “East Asian miracle” can be explained by these regions' knowledge capital. Turning to the policy implications of their argument, they call for an education system that develops effective accountability, promotes choice and competition, and provides direct rewards for good performance.

The publication of this timely book has been occasioned by the tenth anniversary celebrations of democracy in South Africa, the last country in southern Africa to be liberated. This book, which grew out of a November 2003 conference, goes beyond the parochial and uses the milestone of South Africa's democratic celebrations to focus on the health and quality of democracy and governance in southern Africa more broadly. In the spirit of ten years of democratisation in South Africa, the Centre for Policy Studies, the Institute for Democracy in South Africa and the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy thought it appropriate to place the focus on the broader region and consider the state of governance and democratisation in southern Africa. The book acknowledges that the apartheid years hugely destabilised South Africa's neighbours and negatively impacted on the pan-African spirit throughout the continent. It recognises that because of both their common history and geography, the states of southern Africa have, in important aspects, a shared future. Thus a ten-year review project that focuses only on assessing conditions in South Africa since 1994 would be incomplete, and it is, therefore, proper that this book focuses on the broader southern Africa region.
