Balance of Payments Theory and Economic Policy

Balance of Payments Theory and Economic Policy

An original and systematic synthesis of the major postwar developments in theory and policy of balance-of-payments adjustment this book focuses on the present-day system of pegged-but-adjustable exchange rates and the problems that policy authorities must face if they are to attain full employment price stability balance-of-payments equilibrium and a satisfactory rate of economic growth. The dominate theme of this book is that any system of exchange rates carries with it assumptions about the way it works and how effective the automatic and policy-motivated forces operate to bring about equilibrium in a country's balance of payments. By analyzing balance-of-payments adjustment and policies under alternative exchange-rate systems and with different assumptions concerning the level of employment and prices it is possible to embrace a wide variety of contemporary and historical circumstances experienced by individual countries and the world as a whole. In this way the author assesses the economic consequences of the different exchange-rate systems and of the policies that countries may follow to attain their national objectives. In particular it appears to Professor Stern that the international monetary turmoil of the past ten years can be traced to the exchange-rate inflexibilities of the adjustable-peg system and to the creation of excessive reserves under the dollar standard. He demonstrates that the international monetary system must be redesigned to permit greater exchange-rate inflexibility and control over the creation of new international reserve assets. | Balance of Payments Theory and Economic Policy

New Drugs Fair Prices Managing the Pharmaceutical Innovation Ecosystem for Sustainable and Affordable New Medicines

New Drugs Fair Prices Managing the Pharmaceutical Innovation Ecosystem for Sustainable and Affordable New Medicines

New Drugs Fair Prices addresses the important question of how we might get the innovative new medicines we need at prices we can afford. Today this debate is impassioned but sterile. One side calls for price controls discounting their impact on investment in innovation. The other points to miraculous new therapies disregarding their affordability and social inequity. This polarized argument creates more heat than light threatening the social contract between the industry and society on which pharmaceutical innovation depends. This ground-breaking book takes a wholly new perspective on the issue and raises the debate to a more informed and productive level. Drawing on interviews with more than 70 experts across the pharmaceutical innovation world and combining a diverse literature from scientific political economic and business domains it describes how a sustainable and affordable supply of new medicines is possible only by balancing pharmaceutical innovation’s complex adaptive ecosystem. By considering how each of the ecosystem’s seven habitats work and interact with the others it makes a comprehensive set of recommendations for achieving that ecosystem balance. The core message of New Drugs Fair Prices is important to anyone who ever has needed or will ever need a medicine: we can have a sustainable supply of new medicines that are both innovative and affordable if we manage the pharmaceutical innovation ecosystem intelligently. | New Drugs Fair Prices Managing the Pharmaceutical Innovation Ecosystem for Sustainable and Affordable New Medicines

What kinds of seemings are there? How do seemings justify? Are seemings connected to truth? Do they play a significant role in inquiry? The chapters in this volume offer a range of useful arguments and fresh ideas about seemings the nature of justification and evidential support intuitions inquiry and the nature of inference.

Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

This book offers the first non-official history of French nuclear policies which goes beyond the divide between nuclear weapons and nuclear energy policies. It addresses the sizing of France’s nuclear forces technological assistance to countries with nuclear weapons programs uranium prospection nuclear testing its health effects and protests against it as well as plans to prevent and manage accidents in nuclear power plants. It is based on new questions and new sources from France and abroad. The chapters in this volume show how independent and interdisciplinary scholarship free from conflicts of interests can uniquely advance our understanding of nuclear history and politics. This is the case because it does not treat the categories and judgments of official discourse as neutral starting points of the analysis. This volume is based on untapped primary sources from France the UK the US India South Africa and Iran on a new assessment of the health consequences of French nuclear testing in Polynesia thanks to a modern atmospheric particle transport code coupled with historical weather data open-source information about radioactive debris (“mushroom”) clouds as well as data on the composition and particle sizes of the fallout; and on new survey data about French knowledge of and attitudes towards nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. They show notably that the first generation of French nuclear forces lacked technical credibility despite reliance on outside help. Several French officials knew this as did France's allies and adversaries. Moreover French strategic collaborations associated to nuclear programs extended to India and South Africa; nuclear safety regulations changed fundamentally after the Cold War and approximately 110 000 people i. e. 90% of the French Polynesian population in the 1970s could have received doses that would qualify them for compensation according to French law. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of history politics international relations military history war studies conflict and global governance. Most of the chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in Cold War History. A few chapters were first published in the Nonproliferation Review Diplomacy & Statecraft and Science & Global Security. | Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

The Idea of New India Essays in Defence of Critical Thought

The Idea of New India Essays in Defence of Critical Thought

The idea of ‘New India’ has acquired a new currency. The dominant grammar of politics dilutes the critical impulse and deters the expression of alternate politics. The interpretive possibilities have been replaced by a reactive exchange. Technology is presented as a panacea rather than just a facilitator. Legitimacy and normative dignity for these ideas is acquired by redefining the role of the institutions and also through constitutional amendments. A major intellectual effort is required to reformulate public policy governance systems and social relations to balance the opposite claims of market efficiency and economic growth with social equity and justice. This book is co-published with Aakar Books New Delhi. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the print versions of this book in India Pakistan Nepal Bhutan Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. | The Idea of New India Essays in Defence of Critical Thought

Investigating Local Knowledge New Directions New Approaches

Investigating Local Knowledge New Directions New Approaches

Originally published in 2004. Local knowledge reflects many generations of experience and problem solving by people around the world increasingly affected by globalizing forces. Such knowledge is far more sophisticated than development professionals previously assumed and as such represents an immensely valuable resource. A growing number of governments and international development agencies are recognizing that local-level knowledge and organizations offer the foundation for new participatory models of development that are both cost-effective and sustainable and ecologically and socially sound. This book provides a timely overview of new directions and new approaches to investigating the role of rural communities in generating knowledge founded on their sophisticated understandings of their environments devising mechanisms to conserve and sustain their natural resources and establishing community-based organizations that serve as forums for identifying problems and dealing with them through local-level experimentation innovation and exchange of information with other societies. These studies show that development activities that work with and through local knowledge and organizations have several important advantages over projects that operate outside them. Local knowledge informs grassroots decision-making much of which takes place through indigenous organizations and associations at the community level as people seek to identify and determine solutions to their problems. | Investigating Local Knowledge New Directions New Approaches
