Series Statement: Trends and Policy Options (PPIAF)

Content: Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux responsables gouvernementaux ainsi qu'aux bailleurs de fonds et aux autres parties prenantes dans les services d'eau urbains. Il analyse les resultats enregistres par plus de 65 grands Partenariats public-prive (PPP) du secteur de l'eau (representant plus de 100 millions d'habitants desservis) mis en cuvre dans differentes regions du monde sur une periode de 15 ans, du point de vue de l'acces a l'eau, de la qualite du service, de l'efficacite operationnelle et du niveau des tarifs. Il vise a mieux comprendre comment resoudre les multiples problemes que pose la fourniture de services d'eau et d'assainissement dans les villes des pays en developpement (PED). La population urbaine desservie par des operateurs prives de services d'eau dans les PED n'a cesse de grossir depuis 1990. Pour bon nombre d'entre elles, les progres constates en matiere de service et d'efficacite confirment l'interet des PPP. La mise en cuvre de PPP pour les services d'eau dans les PED a rarement ete une tache facile, et ils ne doivent pas etre consideres comme la seule voie de reforme possible. Neanmoins, il ressort de cette analyse de donnees factuelles qu'un partenariat bien concu entre les secteurs public et prive dans un PED peut etre efficace pour redresser une compagnie des eaux peu performante. Le principal objectif ne doit plus etre d'attirer des capitaux prives mais d'utiliser des operateurs prives pour ameliorer la qualite et l'efficacite des services. Un cercle vertueux se cree alors, par lequel la compagnie des eaux ameliore sa situation financiere et devient progressivement capable de financer une part plus importante de ses besoins d'investissement.

Content: In the past fifteen years, file sharing of digital cultural works between individuals has been at the center of a number of debates on the future of culture itself. To some, sharing constitutes piracy, to be fought against and eradicated. Others see it as unavoidable, and table proposals to compensate for its harmful effects. Meanwhile, little progress has been made towards addressing the real challenges facing culture in a digital world.

Content: Many developing countries are unable to provide their industrial sector with reliable power and many enterprises have to contend with electricity that is insufficient and of poor quality. Because of these constraints, firms in developing countries opt for self-generation even though it is widely considered a second best solution. This paper develops a theoretical model of investment behavior in remedial infrastructure when physical and credit constraints are present. It then tests econometrically some implications from this model using a large sample of enterprises from 87 countries from the World Bank Enterprise Survey Database. After showing that these constraints interact and have non-linear effects depending on the industrial sector's degree of reliance on electricity and size of firms, the paper draws differentiated policy recommendations. Credit constraints appear to be the priority in sectors very reliant on electricity to spur entry and convergence to the technological frontier, while in other sectors, firms would benefit more widely from marginal improvements in electrical supply

Content: This note examines how to maximize the benefits from the use of market instruments in support of developing countries' low-emission development priorities. First, it briefly surveys the current state and trends of the carbon market, highlighting the main achievements of carbon finance over its decade-long history. Second, it reviews updated scenarios of the scale of future carbon markets and associated financial flows, in light of developments in climate negotiations and domestic markets. Finally, it identifies the necessary steps to scale up carbon market flows in future, on both the demand and supply sides, including the reform of existing mechanisms, and innovation to broaden the scope, scale and reach of carbon markets. The most important determinant of carbon offset market flows to developing countries is clearly the level of international mitigation targets: the more ambitious the targets the greater the scope for such flows. Developed countries can also encourage flows by increasing supplementary limits, which are the proportion of mitigation targets that can be met by purchases from developing countries. Finally, there remains a considerable need for innovation, awareness-raising and capacity building in public and private institutions in developing countries, to increase their participation in the carbon market and build and enabling environment for low-emission development

Content: The central focus of this book is the relationship between money, the sphere of production, and the State. It explores how best to adapt the fundamental ideas of the circulationist perspective to achieve a better understanding of the financialisation of the production processes within contemporary capitalist economies. Importantly, the expert contributors illustrate that the true challenge ahead is to address how these new emerging forms can be eventually tamed, a challenge that the recent financial crisis has forcefully proven essential. This book will prove an illuminating read for scholars and researchers in the heterodox economics domain.

Series Statement: Water and Sanitation Program

Content: Infrastructure plays a key role in promoting economic growth and opportunities.In particular, the efficient provision of basic infrastructure services, like water and sanitation, is a key ingredient in fostering a country's social and economic development. Previous studies have found that infrastructure has a positive impact on output, and can improve economic opportunity, including health and education for the poor, particularly in developing countries. In Argentina, a 2005 study, found that child mortality fell by 8 percent in areas that had experienced improved coverage and quality of basic water and sanitation through utility reform, with most of the reduction occurring in low-income areas where the water network expanded the most. More generally, Fay and Morrison found that allowing the poorest quintile in developing countries the same access to basic services as the richest quintile would reduce child mortality by 8 percent and child under development by 14 percent. Calderon and Serven also found a significant positive impact of infrastructure access and quality on overall inequality. Furthermore, the book sheds some light on how to address the main challenge for the future which may be to attract specialized operators to the smaller municipalities which do not currently have them. For that purpose in Colombia, for example, over the last two years, the policy framework has been focused on promoting the sector's development, by using the departments as the intermediate institutional level between the National Government and the municipalities, to formulate programs with regional impact and promote comprehensive investment plans

Series Statement: New horizons in international business

Content: In an age of increased necessity for competitiveness of nations and at a time when the world economy is facing recession, this book explores the possible trajectory of ASEAN : arguably one of the most dynamic areas in the world--as a regional economic and political bloc. The expert contributors address the industrial competitiveness of ASEAN and analyse the role of MNEs against the background of the challenges of integration. They illustrate that regional integration will only be a success if ASEAN's linkages are broadened with global partners through negotiations of Free Trade Agreements. The book concludes that although much still remains to be done, and many promises are still to be unveiled, ASEAN's "coming of age" is an historic milestone.

Note: pt. 1. The ASEAN industrial competitiveness challenges within the regional integration process -- pt. 2. The integration of ASEAN in the world economy : the crucial role of FTAs.

Content: Dionysos erscheint innerhalb der modernen Wissens- und Darstellungsformationen oft als untypisch für die antike Kultur, als Ausnahme im Kontext des antiken Polytheismus, ja als Instanz einer Differenz, die die Moderne antizipiert. Was können neuere Forschungen zum genaueren Verständnis der vielfältigen Transformationen des antiken Gottes beitragen? Dieser Frage widmen sich Vertreter aller Bereiche der Altertumswissenschaften in diesem Band, der aus einer internationalen Tagung im März 2009 im Berliner Pergamonmuseum hervorgeht. Eine vergleichbare Publikation liegt bisher weder in deutscher oder englischer noch in anderen Sprachen vor. Zu den in dem Band behandelten Themen gehören aktuelle Forschungsfragen - einschließlich wissenschaftsgeschichtlicher Aspekte - zur Stellung des Dionysos im Rahmen der antiken griechischen und römischen Religion von den Anfängen bis zur Spätantike (Riten und Festkultur, Mythen, Epiphaniekonzepte, Theaterpraxis, Architektur und Ökonomie der Heiligtümer), anhand von - zum Teil neuentdeckten - epigraphischen, literarischen, bildkünstlerischen, historiographischen und philosophischen Quellen.

Content: Within modern frameworks of knowledge and representation, Dionysos often appears to be atypical for ancient culture, an exception within the context of ancient polytheism, or even an instance of a difference that anticipates modernism. How can recent research contribute to a more precise understanding of the diverse transformations of the ancient god, from Greek antiquity to the Roman Empire? In this volume, which is the result of an international conference held in March 2009 at the Pergamon Museum Berlin, scholars from all branches of classical studies, including history of scholarship, consider this question. Consequently, this leads to a new look on vase paintings, sanctuaries, rituals and religious-political institutions like theatre, and includes new readings of the texts of ancient poets, historians and philosophers, as well as of papyri and inscriptions. It is the diversity of sources or methods and the challenge of former views that is the strength of this volume, providing a comprehensive, innovative and richly faceted account of the "different" god in an unprecedented way.
