Cuba After Communism
As once-powerful communist rulers flee their presidential palaces and centralized economies give way to free markets, the future of Latin America's last socialist country hangs in the balance. In a fast-paced style that is both technically sophisticated and admirably free of economic jargon, Eliana Cardoso and Ann Helwege provide a much-needed roadmap for a peaceful and productive transition from communism to capitalism. They vividly depict the tough choices facing Cuba in the years ahead, proposing a series of reforms to ease Cuba through a transition to capitalism while preserving some legitimate gains - such as those in education and health care - that socialism has provided the Cuban peo...

Nuvem negra
Três vidas se entrelaçam e formam uma trama indissociável da história política do Brasil, onde uma força aniquiladora parece condenar os personagens e o país ao retrocesso. Nos últimos setenta anos, o Brasil atravessou muitas crises: a transição política após o suicídio de Vargas, o pavor do comunismo nos anos 1960, um golpe militar e a corrupção empresarial e política. Esse é o cenário da história de Lotta, ativista política que acreditava no progresso; de Manfred Mann, homem sensível em busca de seu lugar no mundo; e de Kalu, garota de origem simples que tenta driblar o próprio destino. Com imensa concisão, Eliana Cardoso cria em Nuvem negra uma atmosfera sedutora, povoada de personagens que mostram como é complexa a equação entre amor, família e relações sociais – uma fórmula sobre a qual, muitas vezes, nenhum de nós tem qualquer controle.
Power, Money, and Trade
This book is an introduction to International Relations that uses examples from International Political Economy (IPE). It presents the theories and paradigms of International Relations in the context of the issues of trade, investment, and monetary relations. Largely it does so by developing historical cases of pivotal events in the evolution of the IPE to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of these theories. This focus on the substantive material of the IPE allows a shift beyond traditional debates to include newer paradigms such as Constructivism and Institutionalism. The result is a book that not only reveals and explains prominent arguments and debates, but also provides grounding i...
More and Better Jobs in South Asia
South Asia has created nearly 800,000 jobs per month during the last decade. Robust economic growth in large parts of the region has created better jobs -- those that pay higher wages for wage workers and reduce poverty for the self-employed, the largest segment of the region s employed. Going forward, South Asia faces the enormous challenge of absorbing 1 to 1.2 million entrants to the labor force every month for the next two decades at rising levels of productivity. This calls for an agenda that cuts across sectors and includes improving the reliability of electricity supply for firms in both urban and rural settings, dealing decisively with issues of governance and corruption, making acce...

Development Challenges in the 1990s
The 1990s was a decade of historical significance with numerous and remarkable changes. It was also a time of considerable reforms that strengthened the policy framework in a large number of countries. Yet the resulting growth experiences of developing countries have been extremely varied and often below expectations. What have we learned from this experience? And how can these lessons be applied to the challenges we face in the new millennium? Development Challenges in the 1990s brings together the insights and experiences of some of the world's leading policymakers and global thought leaders, individuals who have had substantial influence on the policy reforms and development strategies in...
