Mosley Paul: Overseas Aid 2nd Edition

Overseas Aid 2nd Edition

Its Defence and Reform

Ips-nathan Lecture Series

Philip Yeo is the Institute of Policy Studies' 16th S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. This book is an edited collection of his three IPS-Nathan Lectures, delivered from March to June 2025, and includes highlights of question-and-answer segments with our audience. Mr Yeo shares his bold and unconventional approach to shaping Singapore's economic future, examining the past, present and future of Singapore's economic strategy across three interconnected themes: economic development, research and development (R&amp;D) and innovation, and enterprise growth.

A firm believer in talent development, Mr Yeo has mentored young leaders and established scholarship programmes to cultivate Singapore's next generation of industry pioneers. Reflecting on Singapore's rise as a global manufacturing hub, the role of innovation in driving progress, and the journey of local enterprises expanding internationally, he offers insights into the key drivers of Singapore's economic transformation and the challenges ahead.

Neither Civil Nor Servant: Singapore's Disruptive Economic Playbook

The Political Economy of Globalized India

In this major reinterpretation of one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century, Geoff Goodwin draws on contemporary perspectives and issues emanating from the Global South in order to offer a new theory of the many possible paths through and beyond capitalism. Written both for readers new to Karl Polanyi and for those already familiar with his work, the book organizes itself around key Polanyian concepts such as the double movement, fictitious commodities, and decommodification. In each case, the book re-thinks and extends Polanyi's thought by drawing on more contemporary, Global-South-centered critiques of capitalism rooted in notions such as degrowth and decolonization. In exploring these ideas through case studies drawn primarily from Latin America and other parts of the Global South, Goodwin weaves a new theoretical framework that accounts for a wide range of pressing current issues, from food and housing to international trade and socioecological transformation.

Understand how circular economy principles reshape business strategy and practice. The Circular Economy by Suzanne Smit and Uthayasankar Sivarajah is a practical and theory-informed textbook for postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students studying Circular Economy, Sustainable Business and related business and management courses. Aligned with contemporary module outcomes, it addresses why circular economy thinking is essential for modern business and how organizations can embed sustainability across core functions. The textbook examines how businesses can plan, implement and manage circular transitions by integrating circular economy principles, metrics and decision-making frameworks into everyday business activity. Structured around four interrelated stages, it explores strategic planning, resource organization, leadership and control mechanisms that enable organizations to move from linear to circular models. Real-world examples from Ikea, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, The Guararapes Group and Flying Tiger demonstrate how circular strategies are applied in practice across industries and regions. This textbook includes: - A four-part framework covering planning, organizing, leading and controlling circular economy initiatives - Clear explanations of circular economy theories, strategies and performance metrics - Application of circular principles to finance, operations, supply chain management and business storytelling - Real-world examples illustrating how organizations manage circular transitions &gt;Whether studying sustainable business or preparing for roles in strategy, operations or sustainability, this textbook equips students with the knowledge and practical insight needed to support and lead circular transformation in organizations.

Strategies and Principles for Responsible Businesses

The Circular Economy

An authoritative and cutting-edge exploration of how land, transportation, and economic forces shape cities, regions, and the distribution of economic activities from a local to a global scale. Land, by its very nature, is immobile and unproduced, creating competition for prime locations that drives disparities in economic outcomes. Transportation, meanwhile, serves as the mechanism for overcoming spatial frictions but imposes costs that influence where firms and individuals choose to locate. Together, these factors explain the emergence and persistence of cities, regional disparities, and even global patterns of economic concentration. In Spatial Economics, Hans R.A. Koster, Stef Proost, and Jacques-François Thisse explore how cities, regions, and the global economy are shaped by the interplay between location, land use, and transportation. The authors examine why economic activities are clustered in large metropolitan areas and dispersed in vast areas, driven by the balance between the gains from concentration and various congestion and pollution costs. Blending classical theories with modern data and modeling approaches, the book addresses urbanization, spatial inequality, and the effects of policies like infrastructure investments and land regulations. Accessible yet rigorous, it offers valuable insights for understanding the geographic organization of economic activity in today's interconnected world.

This book examines the resurgence of public banks and their critical role in addressing global climate and development-related challenges. Drawing from the lessons of the 2008-09 financial crisis, the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and most crucially, the COVID-19 pandemic, it provides a comprehensive analysis of how public banking institutions can effectively scale up and deliver climate-aligned development finance, at affordable rates and favourable terms.Through diverse case studies spanning national and multilateral public banks across both wealthy and developing regions, the volume employs multidisciplinary approaches and mixed methodologies to evaluate their capacity, mandate fulfilment, and accountability mechanisms. The research illuminates the complex power dynamics that determine who benefits from public banking initiatives and offers evidence-based insights for strengthening these institutions' ability to serve the public interest in the face of climate challenges.This volume will appeal to a diverse readership including policymakers and government officials involved in development, financial regulation, and climate policy; academics and researchers in economics, finance, political economy, business, and sustainable development; professionals working in public, private, and development banks; climate activists and NGOs focused on sustainable finance; and graduate students studying public finance, development economics, sustainability, and climate policy. The book provides valuable insights for anyone interested in understanding how public financial institutions can be leveraged to address the pressing challenges of climate change while promoting equitable development outcomes.

From Short-Term Crisis Responses to Long-Term Climate Prospects

Public Banks and Public Purpose

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

Trade Policy, Trade Agreements, And Economic Growth: Essays In International Trade Theory

Creative Accumulation examines how nations build the capabilities required for sustained technological leadership, moving beyond simple catch-up growth. Drawing on Korea's long-term development experience, Jeong-Dong Lee introduces the concept of the "middle innovation trap", a condition in which countries achieve high levels of implementation capability yet struggle to generate original concepts, architectures, and design leadership. The book argues that original concept design is not the product of individual genius or sudden breakthroughs but the outcome of creative accumulation. Creative accumulation requires posing bold question, persistently accumulating trial-and-error experiences, and scaling up from ideas to viable outcomes. Integrating insights from innovation theory, evolutionary economics, and industrial policy, Jeong-Dong Lee shows how these processes of creative accumulation enable nations to become technology leaders. Although the book draws its evidence from the trajectory of Korean industry and technology, Korea's experience represents a compelling and instructive case of a broader developmental process. Drawing on decades of engagement with government and business, Lee shows that countries which fail to build solid implementation capability tend to fall into the middle income trap. Yet even countries that escape this may encounter the middle innovation trap if they fail to develop concept design capability, resulting in renewed stagnation. To transition out of this phase demands sustained, national-level efforts from firms, governments, and institutions. Creative Accumulation offers concrete policy prescriptions for overcoming the middle innovation trap, grounded in coordinated, mission-oriented, and long-term strategies that can guide nations at every stage of development.

Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia: Challenges in Development and Globalization

One of the most pressing issues in development today is the employment challenge in low- and middle-income countries. As more young people enter the labor force--and as structural transformation unfolds amid deindustrialization, technological disruption, and global competition--the question of how to create sufficient decent jobs has become central to the economic future of the Global South. Although this is a shared challenge across developing regions, it is particularly acute in Africa, where rapid demographic change and urbanization are colliding with limited industrial expansion. Bringing together leading international scholars, The Future of Work in Developing Countries examines the employment problem from multiple perspectives. Early chapters develop conceptual frameworks around corporations and the global hierarchy of production. Subsequent contributions investigate the dynamics of structural transformation, the role of firms in linking production and labor to surplus, and the design of industrial and technology policies. Later chapters turn to detailed case studies--especially from Africa--that illustrate the possibilities and limits of different growth paths, and comparative insights from Asia and Latin America provide further perspective. By combining rigorous theoretical analysis with grounded empirical research, this book demonstrates that employment creation is not an automatic byproduct of growth but a political and institutional project. It offers fresh insights for scholars of development, political economy, and economic history, as well as for policy makers seeking strategies to promote inclusive transformation in Africa and beyond.
