What does successful levelling up look like in practice? What conditions are necessary for policies to deliver the economic and social advances many places in England so badly need? Jeffrey Matsu explains how the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) and the University of Birmingham's City-Region Economic Development Institute used some international exemplars to help address these questions for an English context.
The post Mapping international factors to successful growth in England appeared first on Bennett Institute for Public Policy.

This volume is a collection of selected empirical studies on determinants of economic growth in Africa. Grouped into three parts, chapters examine the influence of financial sources and economic growth; sources of productivity growth; and prices, exchange rates and trade relationships with growth in regions in Africa or the continent as a whole. This edited book is authored by African experts in the field who employ diverse up-to-date data and methods to provide robust empirical results based on representative firms, household surveys and secondary country level data covering individuals or multiple countries on the continent. It contains a wealth of empirical evidence, deep analyses and sound recommendations for policymakers and researchers for designing and implementing effective social and national policies and strategies to prevent and to reduce poverty and its negative effects on poor households and in poor regions. The volume will be a useful resource for policymakers and researchers involved in promoting economic growth and fighting poverty. It will also appeal to a broader audience interested in economic development, resource economics, policies, economic welfare and inclusive growth.--

This book brings together a collection of papers on international trade and international finance, instead of treating the two as disjoint fields of study. The volume, while focusing on the recent developments and frontiers of research in international trade and international finance, also emphasizes the inherent integrated nature of the two subjects; some of the papers are overlapping across the two areas. A unique feature of the proposed volume is that it unravels some new issues in addition to re-examining certain old issues in a new perspective and thus covers wide ranging issues with an emphasis on policy. The book covers issues mostly relating to emerging market economies, which has increasingly assumed importance in the context of globalization. The book contains some survey papers covering the frontiers of current knowledge on important themes like recent developments in trade theory and empirics, foreign exchange market, institutions in trade and finance, interrelation and interaction between international trade and international finance. The papers, fruit of rigorous and original research, are written by internationally and nationally reputed authors along with promising young researchers on the subjects. The book substantially contributes to the growing literature on issues relating to trade and international finance in emerging market economies and extends the frontiers of knowledge. The book is expected to have the widest possible readership comprising of advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as senior researchers working in international trade and international finance

This paper was first presented by Academician Natsagdorj at the XIV International Congress of Orientalists at New Delhi in 1964. As it was presented in Russian, one of the internationally recognized languages at the conference, I have translated it here from the Russian text rather than the underlying Mongol original. The translation has been approved by the author.

"Während das Ende des Ost-West-Konflikts für die internationale Politik einen fundamentalen Strukturbruch bedeutete, vollzog sich keine vergleichbare Veränderung für die deutsche Außenpolitik. Auch das vereinte Deutschland hält an den zentralen Grundorientierungen eines integrierten, kooperativen Handelsstaates fest: der Bereitschaft zum Autonomieverzicht durch Integration und dauerhaft angelegte Kooperation, dem regelmäßigen Primat der Wohlfahrtsoptimierung gegenüber konkurrierenden Zielsetzungen sowie einer Präferenz für zivile Strategien und Instrumente ('sanfte Macht') bei der Verfolgung seiner außenpolitischen Interessen. Diese Verhaltensmaximen bestimmen auch seinen Kurs beim Aufbau eines neuen europäischen Ordnungssystems. Gleichwohl war es erforderlich, die genannten Grundorientierungen an veränderte Rahmenbedingungen des internationalen Systems anzupassen, u. a. durch die Teilnahme der Bundeswehr im Rahmen kollektiver Sicherheitssysteme. Dieser Schritt bedeutet aber kein Streben nach militärischer Machtprojektion, sondern lediglich einen Übergang zum Normalzustand der OECD-Welt. Auf dem Weg ins 21. Jahrhundert steht das innen- wie außenpolitisch Problemregelungen durch Konsens, Koordinierung und Verhandlungsprozesse bevorzugende Politikmodell Handelsstaat vor neuen Herausforderungen. Die Folgen der Globalisierung, die unvollendete innere Einheit und die gewachsene Unübersichtlichkeit in den internationalen Beziehungen beschränken seine politische Gestaltungsfähigkeit. Auch eine Ergänzung der nach wie vor europäisch zentrierten außenpolitischen Perspektive um eine stärker global ausgerichtete Sichtweise steht noch aus." (Autorenreferat)
