Im allgemeinen wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Exporterlösinstabili- tät von Entwicklungsländern ihre wirtschaftliche Entwicklung beein- trächtige und dass deshalb ihre Exporterlöse zu stabilisieren seien. In der Arbeit wird kritisch analysiert, inwieweit Grundlagen für eine rationale Politik der Exporterlösstabilisierung vorhanden sind. Im ersten Teil wird untersucht, inwieweit die mit einer Exporterlösstabilisierung angestrebten Ziele dem Rationalitätserfordernis entsprechen. Im zweiten Teil werden Hypothesen und empirische Studien über Auswirkungen von Exporterlösinstabilität im Hinblick auf ihren Informationsgehalt für eine rationale Politik der Exporterlösstabilisierung analysiert.

This book draws lessons from the story of Sri Lanka’s post-conflict development in the context of a struggle for socio-political reconciliation, a turbulent world economy, and difficult internal and external political challenges. Heightened volatility in the global economy and intensifying geopolitical rivalries pose complex policy challenges for small countries embarking on post-conflict daunting challenges. To sustain peace, development needed to be broad based and inclusive. It needed to rapidly reconstruct war-devastated regions, restore macroeconomic stability, while delivering a ‘peace dividend’. The book contains contributions that highlight Sri Lanka’s endeavours of coping with adverse shocks, while exploiting new opportunities. It showcases how the island country had to attract capital and assistance, and support of the international community, including that of the rising Asian giants – China and India. Addressing the post-conflict challenges of sourcing development finance in a new global financial and political landscape, the book would be of interest to researchers working on post-conflict development in the context of a volatile global economy and changing aid architecture, and would also act as an important resource for policy makers.

This book approaches the issue of rural-urban inequality through fieldwork conducted in a specific township (Zuogang) in Qinggang County, part of Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China. Presenting painstaking fieldwork in a single location, it successfully illuminates fundamental aspects of the reality and the complexity of rural-urban inequality that cannot be found in macro-level studies, most of which are prepared by economists. The book offers a unique combination of rigorous economic analysis with insightful social and anthropological analysis, as well as revealing interviews with local government officials. This approach provides a rich tapestry of rural perceptions of rural-urban inequality. With in-depth analysis and empirical evidence on questions concerning the development and root causes of urban-rural disparities, the book significantly enriches our understanding of the widely discussed issue of rural-urban income inequality, but from the unique perspective of rural China. .

O tema deste último volume da trilogia Celso Furtado: a esperança militante é Desafios. A palavra diz muito do espírito furtadiano. Ele próprio refletiu sobre o tema e escreveu, por exemplo, que o desafio do século XXI é mudar o curso da civilização, deslocar o seu eixo da lógica dos meios a serviço da acumulação para uma lógica dos fins, em função do bem-estar social, do exercício da liberdade e da cooperação entre os povos. E tudo isso num curto horizonte de tempo. As contribuições deste volume buscam refletir, estimular leituras, fazer proposições, recuperar os estudos regionais a partir do pilares que lhes deram identidade: o estudo do Brasil profundo e a interdisciplinaridade como elemento aglutinador das energias que mobilizam a produção de conhecimento para a transformação social. E onde estaria o pensamento regional hoje? As leituras que oferecemos neste volume sinalizam que ele se encontra, com maior ênfase, no interior do país, e em ‘universidades periféricas’, a maioria públicas (federais mais jovens, estaduais, comunitárias). Apesar de já significativa a diversidade de abordagens, há elementos transversais que possibilitam aproximações e compartilhamentos de experiências teóricas e práticas. O desenvolvimento regional já não constitui apenas o ponto de chegada de um projeto político, mas, também, um ponto de partida por meio do qual é possível compreender a realidade de uma nova forma.
