Product Description
Drawing on classical development theory and recent theoretical advances on the connection between expanding markets and technological developments, this book reveals the critical role of the expansion of Atlantic commerce in the successful completion of England's industrialization from 1650-1850. The volume is the first detailed study of the role of overseas trade in the Industrial Revolution. It revises other explanations that have recently dominated the field and shifts the assessment of African contribution away from the debate on profits. ... Read more

Product Description

Coming at an important moment in the development of Southern Africa’s trade policy, this study looks at the country's shifting economic priorities and assesses the impact of their decisions on other countries in the region. Currently, South Africa has trade agreements with Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland—as well the European Union and the World Trade Organization—all dictated by often-erratic trade negotiations. This analysis predicts that South Africa's new commitment to openness and prosperity will strengthen their leadership in these unions, but there are still hurdles having to do with industrial production and the need for a unilateral trade policy.

Product Description
Trade, Investment, and Development in the Middle East and North Africa: Engaging with the World describes why expanding trade and investment is vital for this region. The greatest economic challenge is to create enough jobs for its rapidly growing labor force, which is increasingly young and educated, to ward off threats to social and political stability inherent in high unemployment rates. This effort requires higher, and more sustainable, economic growth than has been achieved in the past two decades. Expanding trade and private investment offers the best hope. The potential is enormous given the region's human resources, skills, location, history, and opportunities.

The book analyzes why the region has yet to tap fully into the rich stream of global commerce and investment--and the measures needed to do so, including improvements in the domestic investment climate and reforms in the policies of the region's trading partners. Its findings will appeal to policymakers in the region, the private sector and civil society, trade specialists, donors and partners, and anyone with an interest in the history and prospects of the Middle East and North Africa.

This book is part of a series, the MENA Development Reports, preparedon the occasion of the 2003 World Bank-International Monetary FundAnnual Meetings in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The series examinestopics of importance to the Middle East and North Africa region: tradeand investment, governance, gender, and employment. It aims to providea comprehensive review of the challenges and opportunities the regionfaces as it strives to fashion a new development strategy to meet theevolving needs of its people. ...

Product Description
Standards and Global Trade: A Voice for Africa provides information and guidance for policymakers, the development community, and others in the critical area of "behind the border" barriers to trade. With a view to promoting efforts to strengthen Africa's capacity to meet trade standards and comply with technical regulations, the volume examines the link between those standards and regulations and export success in case studies of five countries: Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda.

Each chapter describes the economic context of trade standards in a country and examines the mechanisms by which standards and regulations are established and revised at the local and international levels. The authors--local experts in the region--review existing trade regulations and determine the extent to which they are consistent with international practices. They also analyze each country's physical infrastructure, organizational capacities, and current standard implementation process and consider the probable impact of new standards, regulations, and related production / marketing practices in key industries.

The first comprehensive assessment of the relationship between trade standards and development priorities in Sub-Saharan Africa, this volume offers concrete action plans for supporting African firms and farmers in their efforts to improve product quality and reach international markets in key commodity sectors.

Chapters include:
Improving Market Access through Standards Compliance: A Diagnostic and Road Map for Kenya
Bridging the Standards Divide: A Case Study and Action Plan for Mozambique
Standards, Technical Regulations, and Product Quality: Institutional Evidence from Nigeria
Standards and Trade in South Africa: Paving Pathways for Increased Market Access and Competitiveness

Product Description
The economic crisis that hit Africa in the past decade is raising questions about Africa's future position in world trade and whether it can develop a competitive industrial structure. Presenting studies of fifty-five exporting manufacturers in six African countries, Exporting Africa examines why some firms in the Sub-Saharan economies have been able to develop export trade, despite generally unfavorable circumstances. In particular, comtributors seek to understand how these forms have been able to sustain their competitiveness in the face of rapid technological change in the international economy. Contributors present empirical research and an innovative conceptual framework which will be of interest to academics in the development field and to government and international policy makers. ...
