Description and Table of Contents

Volume

1995 : pbk ISBN 9780198290360

Description

Since 1984 the United Nations Industrial Development Organization has published an annual Global Report which has established a solid reputation among academics and policy-makers. The 1995 Global Report is shorter and more focused. Part I contains an analytical survey of the current world industrial economy. This is written by Lord Meghnad Desai of the London School of Economics, and, in addition to providing a general overview, it focuses on four themes: industrialization in developing countries. Part II contains ten regional surveys: Japan, North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, Latin America and the Caribbean, East and Southeast Asia, the Indian sub-continent, North Africa and Western Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and China. The statistical appendices provide industrial data for over 150 countries. The report has been more sharply focused and reduced in length by dropping the section on individual industries.

Description

The theme of the Industrial Development Global Report 1996 is the globalization of the world economy, particularly the nature, extent and pace of developments in the 1990s. It reassesses the role of the State and supporting institutions and their relationship with private enterprise. Co-operation, stimulated by cross-border corporate alliances and enhanced by new technology, and appropriate domestic policies for private sector development are the key dynamics underpinning successful integration into the global economy. The Report highlights the challenges and opportunities globalization presents to developing countries and countries in transition, particularly in terms of human resource development and technological capacity, sustainable industrial development and international co-operation. The Statistical Annex provides industrial data for more than 150 countries set out at global, regional, and country levels to facilitate comparison. A glossary provides and explanation of all technical, economic and statistical terms used in the report. This book is intended for academics, graduate students, and policy-makers in international organizations and policy institutes.

Description

The vigour of global economic expansion has been slowly diminishing in recent years. For many developing countries and economies in transition, per capita income has continued to fall, and poverty remains the single most important concern. Poverty eradication and the revitalization of world economic and industrial growth therefore require a renewed commitment and sense of urgency from policy planners. Industrial Development Global Report 1997 addresses the challenge by focusing on the long-term dynamics of investment and economic growth. It thus emphasizes, as its central message, the crucial importance of economic growth, for which investment is a necessary condition. Part 1 of Global Report 1997 addresses the issues and challenges facing developing countries and economies in transition in their efforts to achieve the levels of investment required to ensure high economic growth. The role of industrial investment is examined from the perspective of global industrial change in different regions. This book is intended for scholars and students of a range of disciplines including Development Economics, Development Studies, Industrial Economics, and International Politics. Policy-makers and analysts working in these areas, international organizations and policy institutes.

Description

The vigour of global economic expansion has been slowly diminishing in recent years. For many developing countries and economies in transition, per capita income has continued to fall, and poverty remains the single most important concern. Poverty eradication and the revitalization of world economic and industrial growth therefore require a renewed commitment and sense of urgency from policy planners. Industrial Development Global Report 1997 addresses the challenge by focusing on the long-term dynamics of investment and economic growth. It thus emphasizes, as its central message, the crucial importance of economic growth, for which investment is a necessary condition. Part 1 of Global Report 1997 addresses the issues and challenges facing developing countries and economies in transition in their efforts to achieve the levels of investment required to ensure high economic growth. The role of industrial investment is examined from the perspective of global industrial change in different regions. The nexus between growth and investment is considered, the factors influencing the levels and efficiency of investment are highlighted and investment and manufacturing trends between 1970 and 1995 are analysed. The links between savings, investment and economic growth are investigated to determine the means of financing capital investment at the enterprise level and to find solutions to the problems faced by microenterprises and small enterprises in their efforts to expand. A special feature of Global Report 1997 is the prominence given to government policies as an instrument for the promotion of investment, with particular emphasis on the need to tailor such policies to global and national conditions. Part 2 of the Report presents a statistical annex on industrial indicators for 178 countries and territories around the world.
