Revival: Metropolitan Income Growth and Convergence (2001)

Revival: Metropolitan Income Growth and Convergence (2001)

This title was first published in 2001. What determines urban growth? Much has been written on particular causes and incidents which can explain the rise of one metropolis and the fall of another but these do not illustrate general tendencies. This volume asks whether theories used to explain economic growth of nations or regions can be employed to find characteristics which encourage the growth of cities. Cavazos tests two principal theoretical approaches in this way. The first the endogenous growth theory predicts that incomes will diverge and sees technological innovations as the engine of economic growth. The second the neoclassical growth theory predicts conditional convergence and rates capital accumulation as the key to economic growth. He uses the two models to study US metropolitan income growth between 1970 and 1990 and compares their performance to determine which provides more insightful explanations of metropolitan growth. | Revival: Metropolitan Income Growth and Convergence (2001)

The Failure of Political Reform in Venezuela

The Failure of Political Reform in Venezuela

This title was first published in 2001. The victory of former lieutenant colonel Hugo Chavez in the Venezuelan presidential elections of 1998 was criticized as a blow against the country's deep-seated democratic tradition. It is claimed that this simplistic argument fails to recognize the extent of democratic deterioration in the country and the limitations imposed by discredited political actors on a meaningful democratic reform process. The book aims to break new ground in providing unseen evidence of electoral fraud and offers a fresh perspective on the nature of democratic development. | The Failure of Political Reform in Venezuela
