Twice a year, the OECD Economic Outlook analyses the major trends that will mark the next two years. It provides in-depth coverage of the economic policy measures required to foster high and sustainable growth in each Member country. Recent measures and forthcoming developments in major non-OECD economies in East Asia, Central and Eastern Europe (particularly Russia), and South America are also evaluated in detail. . In addition to the themes featured in every semi-annual edition, this issue also addresses these important questions: - How new is the "new economy"? Why do s

US aid interventions have greatly advantaged some countries in their quest for development, but not others. The extensive development assistance, technology transfers and market access that the United States government granted Taiwan and South Korea in their development and the aid recently given Costa Rica were important factors in their development successes. On the other hand, the inappropriate policies of the US in Vietnam in the fifties, El Salvador in the eighties and Nicaragua in the nineties, programmed these interventions to economic as well as political failure.

Russia has recently strengthened its diplomatic relations with its North-East Asian neighbours -- China, Japan, North and South Korea. But without much more reform at home, Russia will be neither attractive as a partner nor live up to its full potential. Sino-Russian detente has effectively stalled, although Russian arms sales to Beijing are of growing concern to the West. Russia remains excluded from the great-power politics surrounding the Korean Peninsula. Russo-Japanese relations are improving, but remain bedevilled by Russia's domestic problems.

This paper holds together biographical materials, field analysis, position-taking preferences, and Bourdieu's influence. A late adopter of the bourdieusian toolbox, the author explains his attempt to confront South African reality with Bourdieu's thought rather than the other way around, also trying to establish the unconscious determinants behind apparently intentional choices. The author considers self-analysis as a conduit to self-awareness, particularly important insofar as unrecognized, tacit dispositions may actually guide scholars' epistemological decisions more than they would like to admit.

On this episode, we take a research focused look at the famed "October Surprise." It's a notion that says, if you want to hurt a candidate with a bombshell you've discovered, you should wait until just before the election to release the accusations. But why should candidates wait?

A paper by Gabriele Gratton, a professor at The University of New South Wales in Australia, gives counter intuitive insights. We discuss how this research could change the way we view "October surprises" and the 20

Electric heavy-duty trucks are more than just "buzz." Soon, major OEMs will introduce heavy-duty electric trucks in the marketplace, but their success will require collaboration among many stakeholders not currently engaged in the traditional heavy-duty commercial truck market. A paradigm shift in commercial trucking will emerge, forcing greater interdependence among fleets, utilities, truck manufacturers, and policymakers. The Volvo LIGHTS project, a multi-faceted public/private project in Southern California, provides some early insights and a model for successful fleet adoption of heavy-duty electric trucks.

When the FY 2019 Loan Policies were established on October 1, 2018, the municipal bond market interest rates were trending upward, but began to decline in 2019. The descent accelerated in 2020 to historically low levels due to the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. It is due to these dramatically altered circumstances that the South Carolina Water Quality Revolving Fund Authority, by this action, is authorizing a reduction to the FY 2019 interest rates which are currently the highest in our portfolio.

Die Perspektiven der wirtschaftlichen Integration in Ostasien haben sich in den letzten zehn Jahren mehrfach drastisch geändert. Zu Beginn der neunziger Jahre wurde die vorher nur rudimentär existierende Kooperation der ostasiatischen Staaten ausgebaut und im Rahmen der Debatte um den neuen Regionalismus auch die regionale Integration des asiatisch-pazifischen Raums gefordert. Die schon bestehenden regionalen Organisationen wie die Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) bekamen eine klarere ökonomische Zielrichtung, und neue Organisationen, insbesondere die Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), aber auch das interregionale Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) wurden gegründet (vgl. Seliger 2000a). Die Asienkrise von 1997 und die nachfolgenden divergierenden Wirtschaftspolitiken der ostasiatischen Staaten wurden zwar nicht, wie zunächst von vielen Beobachtern gefürchtet, zu einem Schlusspunkt der wirtschaftlichen Integration Ostasiens, aber dennoch zu einem Wendepunkt.

America is suffering from a strategy deficit in the South China Sea. For nearly a decade--and at accelerated speed since 2014--Beijing has been salami slicing its way to a position of primacy in that critical international waterway, while eroding the norms and interests Washington long has sought to defend. To date, however, Washington has struggled to articulate an effective response. The Obama administration opposed Chinese maritime expansion rhetorically and worked to improve the overall American military and geopolitical posture in the Asia-Pacific.

Amidst growing protectionist and anti-globalisation sentiments, China has led the call for a free, open and inclusive multilateral order. It supports a multilateral trading regime, a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. It has launched the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank where it wields significant veto power. China is pushing for a new regional security architecture. While shaping the international order, China is upholding its sovereign claims over the South China Sea and Taiwan.

This study tests relationships among anti-governmentsentiment, their antecedents and their outcomes. A Web survey was conducted in India,South Korea, and the United States. Results show that the public's perceptionsof their government's ethics failure, lack of emotional leadership, and use ofbuffering strategy as a communication strategy for the public are related totheir anti-government sentiments against their incumbent governments. Inaddition, positive associations were found between anti-government sentimentand the public's communicative and behavioral intention for anti-corruptionbehavior. Theoretical and empirical implications are discussed.

A collaborative approach between various Northern Territory Government departments has assisted Centrefarm in identifying areas for potential horticulture development: one such area is located on the Wirliyatjarrayi Aboriginal Land Trust (Willowra) Community. An area south of the main community near the current airstrip was previously cleared and produced lucerne for local use and regional use. - Introduction ; Made available by the Northern Territory Library via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT). ; Introduction -- Background/Location -- Work program -- Discussion and comments -- Appendix 1-3 -- Bibliography

Gregg Mazzola recruits traditional‐aged undergraduate students for a small, pretty campus in New England. That statement probably conjures ideas about what his challenges must be and how he addresses them. But as vice president of enrollment management and marketing for the University College at Southern New Hampshire University, he can tap into resources beyond those available to enrollment managers at many small colleges. And like many others recruiting traditional‐aged students, he uses the resources at hand to encourage students to visit campus.
