The Hobbled Giant Essays On The World Bank

The Hobbled Giant Essays On The World Bank

First published in 1984. In these essays Stanley Please contends that the World Bank is constrained in its ability to use its position and . power in the interests of more rapid development of the poorer countries of the world. These constraints derive in large part from the legal restriction on the Bank to engage primarily in project lending and from the division of responsibility between the ·Bank and its sister institution the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Although the Bank's financing of projects and investment programs has made a significant contribution Mr. Please argues that greater Bank involvement in national policy formation can greatly benefit economic development. He looks at ways to increase cooperation between the Bank and the IMF examines the policy work the Bank has done in the past and assesses the capacity of the Bank for policy formation evaluates the need for it to do more such work and discusses the likely responses of developing and developed countries to these changes | The Hobbled Giant Essays On The World Bank

The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank The Theatrics of Woeful Statecraft

The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank The Theatrics of Woeful Statecraft

The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank explores the manner in which the Palestinian Authority’s performative acts affect and shape the lives and subjective identities of those in its vicinity in the occupied West Bank. The nature of Palestinians’ statelessness has to contend with the rituals of statecraft that the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its Palestinian functionaries engage in. These rituals are also economically maintained by an international donor community and are vehemently challenged by Palestinian activists antagonistic to the prevalence of the statist agenda in Palestine. Conceptually the understanding of the PA’s ‘theater of statecraft’ is inspired by Judith Butler’s conception of performativity as one that encompasses several repetitive and ritual performative acts. The authors explore what they refer to as the ‘fuzzy state' (personified in the form and conduct of the PA) looks like for those living it from the vantage point of PA institutions NGOs international representative offices and activists. Methodologically the book adopts an ethnographic approach by way of interviews and observations in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank makes an important and long-due intervention by integrating performance studies and politics to suggest an understanding of the theatrics of woeful statecraft in Palestine. The book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the study of the state International Relations and Politics Palestine Studies and the Middle East. | The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank The Theatrics of Woeful Statecraft

Bank Regulation Effects on Strategy Financial Accounting and Management Control

Bank Regulation Effects on Strategy Financial Accounting and Management Control

Bank Regulation: Effects on Strategy Financial Accounting and Management Control discusses and problematizes how regulation is affecting bank strategies as well as their financial accounting and management control systems. Following a period of bank de-regulation the new millennium brought a drastic change with many new regulations. Some of these are the result of the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Other regulations such as the introduction in 2005 of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for quoted companies in the EU can be related to the introduction of a new global accounting regime. It is evident from annual reports of banks that the number of new regulations in recent years is high and that they cover many different functional areas. The objectives of these regulations are also ambitious; to improve governance and control contributing to a high level of financial stability for banks. These objectives are obviously of great concern for an industry that directly and indirectly affects the financial situation not only of individuals and organizations but also nation states. Considering the importance of banks in society it is of little surprise that the attention of both scholars and practitioners has been directed towards how banks comply with new regulations and if the intended objectives of the regulations are met. This book will be of great value to all those interested in financial stability matters (practitioners policy-makers students academics) as well as to accounting and finance scholars. | Bank Regulation Effects on Strategy Financial Accounting and Management Control

Bank Regulation Risk Management and Compliance Theory Practice and Key Problem Areas

Bank Regulation Risk Management and Compliance Theory Practice and Key Problem Areas

Bank Regulation Risk Management and Compliance is a concise yet comprehensive treatment of the primary areas of US banking regulation – micro-prudential macroprudential financial consumer protection and AML/CFT regulation – and their associated risk management and compliance systems. The book’s focus is the US but its prolific use of standards published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and frequent comparisons with UK and EU versions of US regulation offer a broad perspective on global bank regulation and expectations for internal governance. The book establishes a conceptual framework that helps readers to understand bank regulators’ expectations for the risk management and compliance functions. Informed by the author’s experience at a major credit rating agency in helping to design and implement a ratings compliance system it explains how the banking business model through credit extension and credit intermediation creates the principal risks that regulation is designed to mitigate: credit interest rate market and operational risk and more broadly systemic risk. The book covers in a single volume the four areas of bank regulation and supervision and the associated regulatory expectations and firms’ governance systems. Readers desiring to study the subject in a unified manner have needed to separately consult specialized treatments of their areas of interest resulting in a fragmented grasp of the subject matter. Banking regulation has a cohesive unity due in large part to national authorities’ agreement to follow global standards and to the homogenizing effects of the integrated global financial markets. The book is designed for legal risk and compliance banking professionals; students in law business and other finance-related graduate programs; and finance professionals generally who want a reference book on bank regulation risk management and compliance. It can serve both as a primer for entry-level finance professionals and as a reference guide for seasoned risk and compliance officials senior management and regulators and other policymakers. Although the book’s focus is bank regulation its coverage of corporate governance risk management compliance and management of conflicts of interest in financial institutions has broad application in other financial services sectors.

Law Development and Regulatory Globalisation The Case of the World Bank in India's Electricity Sector

Law Development and Regulatory Globalisation The Case of the World Bank in India's Electricity Sector

Exploring the phenomenon of diffusion of legal norms accompanying economic globalisation in developing countries this book examines the blanket imposition of standard regulatory templates maintaining that every jurisdiction requires customised legal solutions. Adopted by over 80 developing jurisdictions the World Bank’s 1993 regulatory template for electricity sector reform has been one of the most widely diffused regulatory models. This book uses the example of its implementation in India to address the more general process of regulatory globalisation for developing countries. Amongst other objectives the World Bank’s template endeavoured to insulate economic decision making from politics through legal reform. Through this template the World Bank endeavoured to transform the role of the Indian state in the electricity sector from an interventionist or welfare state to a neo-liberal regulatory state by imposing constitution-like obligations. The book demonstrates that the unique social economic and political characteristics of a jurisdiction cannot be ignored when incorporating a regulatory template in a jurisdictional context; for by influencing the way an external regulatory model is internalized it is these characteristics that determine its outcome. Providing a detailed empirical analysis of this key aspect of development policy this book will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of law and development politics and public administration; as well as development practitioners and policy makers involved in reforming sector regulatory frameworks in their countries. | Law Development and Regulatory Globalisation The Case of the World Bank in India's Electricity Sector

Black Power Music Protest Songs Message Music and the Black Power Movement

Black Power Music Protest Songs Message Music and the Black Power Movement

Black Power Music! Protest Songs Message Music and the Black Power Movement critically explores the soundtracks of the Black Power Movement as forms of movement music. That is to say much of classic Motown soul and funk music often mirrored and served as mouthpieces for the views and values as well as the aspirations and frustrations of the Black Power Movement. Black Power Music! is also about the intense interconnections between Black popular culture and Black political culture both before and after the Black Power Movement and the ways in which the Black Power Movement in many senses symbolizes the culmination of centuries of African American politics creatively combined with and ingeniously conveyed through African American music. Consequently the term Black Power music can be seen as a code word for African American protest songs and message music between 1965 and 1975. Black Power music is a new concept that captures and conveys the fact that the majority of the messages in Black popular music between 1965 and 1975 seem to have been missed by most people who were not actively involved in or in some significant way associated with the Black Power Movement. | Black Power Music Protest Songs Message Music and the Black Power Movement
