The history of development has paid only little attention to cultural projects. This book looks at the development politics that shaped the UNESCO World Heritage programme, with a case study of Ethiopian World Heritage sites from the 1960s to the 1980s. In a large-scale conservation and tourism planning project, selected sites were set up and promoted as images of the Ethiopian nation. This story serves to illustrate UNESCO's role in constructing a "useful past" in many African countries engaged in the process of nation-building. UNESCO experts and Ethiopian elites had a shared interest in producing a portfolio of antiquities and national parks to underwrite Ethiopia's imperial claims to regional hegemony with ancient history. The key findings of this book highlight a continuity in Ethiopian history, despite the political ruptures caused by the 1974 revolution and UNESCO's transformation from knowledge producer to actual provider of development policies. The particular focus on the bureaucratic and political practices of heritage, bridges a gap between cultural heritage studies and the history of international organisations. The result is a first study of the global discourse on heritage as it emerged in the 1960s development decade.
The digital economy is a key catalyst for the economic growth of developing nations. However, because developing nations often lack the resources needed to grow in this area, it is essential for a developing nation to focus on identifying obstacles and to strategize toward long-term improvement. We study the current state of digital economies among developing nations, and evaluate the causes of their limitations. Specifically, we use the Russian Federation's strategy for the development of their digital economy as a case study for identifying common issues that developing nations face in this area.
Хөгжиж буй орнуудын дижитал эдийн засгийн хөгжилд тулгарч буй бэрхшээл: ОХУ-ын жишээн дээр
Хураангуй: Эдийн засгийн хөгжлийг хурдасгагч гол түлхүүр болох дижитал эдийн засгийн үр өгөөжийг хүртэх боломж хөгжиж буй орнуудад бий. Гэхдээ тэдэнд нөөц, бололцоо хангалтгүй. Иймээс улс орнууд асуудлаа судалж, тодорхойлж, бодлогоо боловсруулах шаардлагатай. Энэхүү хэрэгцээ, шаардлагыг үндэслэн хөгжиж буй орнуудад тулгамдаад байгаа дижитал дэд бүтцийн хөгжлийн бодит байдал, хоцрогдолтой тал, мөн дижитал эдийн засгийн таатай орчин, тогтолцоог бүрдүүлэхэд тулгарч буй бэрхшээлийг судалж үзлээ. Мөн хөгжиж буй орон болохынх нь хувьд ОХУ-ын дижитал эдийн засгийн бодлого, төлөвлөлт, өнөөгийн байдлыг судлахдаа хөгжиж буй орнуудад тохиолддог нийтлэг бэрхшээл сорилтын ерөнхий бүтцэд тулгуурлан үзэв.
