Abstract

This Element proposes an alternative framework for rethinking the role of finance in serving the real economy from the perspective of New Structural Financial Economics. It challenges the conventional wisdom that developing countries should take the financial structure of developed countries as the benchmark and financial structure does not matter in spurring long-run economic development. As a sub-discipline of New Structural Economics, New Structural Financial Economics has three tenets. First, examining the appropriate financial structure should take an economy's factor endowment structure as the starting point of analysis, which identifies its latent comparative advantage. Second, the appropriate financial structure is determined by the financing needs of the prevailing production structure. Third, a government should provide development financing to address market failures, and make tailored financial regulations in line with the characteristics of specific financial arrangements. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Abstract

This book historicises and analyses the increasing incidence of xenophobia and nativism in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. It examines how xenophobia and nativism impact the political cohesion and social fabric of states and societies in the regions and offers solutions to aid policy formation and implementation. Rather than utilising an overarching framework, individual theory is applied to chapters to analyse the diverse connections between xenophobia and nativism in the regions. The book explores the economic, nationalistic, political, social, cultural, and psychological triggers for xenophobia and nativism and their impact on an increasingly interconnected and interrelated world. In addition to the individual and comparative examination of these triggers, the book outlines how they can be decreased or altered and argues that Pan-Africanism and the unity of purpose among diverse groups in the western hemisphere is still an ideal to which Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean can aspire. This book will be of interest to academics in the field of African history, African Studies, Caribbean and Latin American studies, cultural anthropology and comparative sociology.

Abstract

Countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka have economies that are categorised as capital deficit, whereas economies with abundant capital - such as those in Western Europe and North America - have lost little value in comparison during the global pandemic and other economic periods of this downturn. It is therefore a question of resilience that separates these developing economies. The Framework for Resilient Industry examines the historical background of the Indian industry, its current status, and future opportunities and challenges. The chapters frame the historical context of the Indian industry and delves into region-specific issues such as micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), economic policy, risk management and sustainable industries. The findings are valuable to policymakers, industrialists, and governments, both state and central, through efficient analysis. Academics, researchers, and students will also benefit from this discourse on economic resiliency. Emerald Studies in Finance, Insurance, and Risk Management provides a platform for authors to explore, analyse and discuss current and new financial models and theories, and engage with innovative research on an international scale. Subjects of interest may include banking, accounting, auditing, compliance, sustainability, behaviour, management, and business economics.

Abstract

Wie Afrika zegt, denkt: armoede, geweld, corruptie... In de media lees en zie je schrijnende verhalen over een continent dat maar niet uit het slop geraakt. Klopt dat beeld wel met de realiteit?00In 'Afrika: een gedroomde toekomst' doorbreekt Loic De Cannière dat cliché. Al vijfentwintig jaar werkt de auteur als impactinvesteerder samen met Afrikaanse organisaties en ondernemers. Hij sprak met succesvolle landbouwers in Kenia, ambitieuze IT-ondernemers in Guinée en Ghana, en vindingrijke kleermaaksters in Rwanda. Zo ontdekte hij een fascinerende wereld die verder gaat dan de waan van de dag, verder dan het doemdenken.00'Afrika: een gedroomde toekomst' is een moedig boek, een meeslepend en optimistisch relaas, dat de ogen opent voor wat mogelijk is, zonder blind te zijn voor mogelijke valkuilen of hindernissen. Het is ook een dwingende oproep aan de Europese landen: zij moeten de bladzijde van de kwalijke inmenging uit het verleden omslaan en de aspiraties van het Afrikaanse continent volop steunen.
