Hauptbeschreibung Die seit Jahrzehnten weltweit stark wachsenden internationalen Handels- und Kapitalverflechtungen lassen die nationalen Wirtschaftsentwicklungen zunehmend interdependent werden. Welchen Herausforderungen ist unter diesen Umständen die nationale Wirtschaftspolitik ausgesetzt? Wo setzt die Internationalisierung fast aller Wirtschaftsprozesse der nationalen Wirtschaftspolitik Grenzen? Mit diesen und anknüpfenden Fragen befasste sich der Wirtschaftspolitische Ausschuss des Vereins für Socialpolitik auf seiner diesjährigen Jahrestagung. Der hier vorliegende Tagungsband

In addition to these issues common to the 2004 volume and this Sequel, this study identifies significant areas of change in stakeholder approaches to the issue of transparency. The first is the emergence of investor responsibilities as a consideration within the transparency context. The second is the emergence of transparency issues within ISDS. This study focuses particularly on transparency in ISDS and the implications of this conceptual shift manifested in the dispute resolution context. This study also considers transparency concerns as a component of a more generalised interest in the impact of procedural matters in ISDS. A key issue is the appearance of transparency and public participation-related provisions in recent IIAs and the sustainable development implications of such approaches. The aim of this paper is to update the first edition of UNCTAD's Pink Series paper on transparency. It seeks to examine: The way in which traditional transparency issues have been addressed in international investment agreements (IIAs) since 2004, The emergence of investor responsibilities as a consideration within transparency issues, and The introduction of a transparency dimension into investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS). In analysing these issues, this paper outlines possible sustainable development implications of the different transparency-related formulations used in IIAs and points to some of the most progressive provisions that are appearing more frequently in investment instruments. It is clear that certain key elements identified in the first edition paper on transparency have remained live issues. For example, it is necessary to continue exploring formulations for clauses where States are addressees of transparency obligations in IIAs and the sustainable development implications of such formulations. Secondly, the substantive scope and content of transparency obligations remains a central issue. Of most concern from a development perspective is the scope and extent of the obligation and the kind of requirements placed on the host States in this regard. These aspects are interlinked with a third issue, namely the different mechanisms available to implement transparency obligations in IIAs and the development impacts of particular methods of disclosure. In a practical sense, the development issues surround the intrusiveness of the obligation, the technical capacity of developing countries to fulfil expansive transparency obligations, and the resulting cost to such countries.

The author combines macroeconomic history with a brief exposition of economic theory that stems from and explains that history and explores how that experience may apply to the future. He examines the Great Depression, World War II and the following prosperous quarter century, the stagflation and recovery of the 1970s and 1980s, the information technology boom that lasted through the 1990s, and the current economic crisis. In most macroeconomic crises, the worst case--depression or inflation--is fairly clear, and modern policymakers have the tools at hand to cope. He warns that the worst case

Los textos que componen este quinto volumen de las Obras escogidas de Víctor L. Urquidi son prueba de la amplitud de su perspectiva económica y social en torno a cuatro ejes fundamentales de su visión internacional, puntos de partida del crecimiento económico latinoamericano y nacional: la índole y la evolución de los Acuerdos de Bretton Woods que pretendieron en los cuarenta estabilizar las relaciones comerciales y monetarias de los países que adoptaron las múltiples modalidades del liberalismo económico: el orden internacional que nació después de la segunda Guerra Mundial y sus repercusiones en Latinoamérica; los insistentes ensayos y logros de América Latina dirigidos a gestar convergencias entre los mercados nacionales para provecho de todos y para atenuar, en conjunto, la marginación comercial y tecnológica respecto del mundo industrial y postindustrial y, en fin, los estudios del Club de Roma, que revelaron la finitud de los recursos medioambientales y el acecho de una destructiva puja darwinista entre los países si no se anticipan y aplican medidas lúcidamente concertadas, asuntos inesquivables en los que la atención y la inquietud de Urquidi jamás desmayó.
