World Development Report 2016
Digital technologies are spreading rapidly, but digital dividends--the broader benefits of faster growth, more jobs, and better services--are not. If more than 40 percent of adults in East Africa pay their utility bills using a mobile phone, why can’t others around the world do the same? If 8 million entrepreneurs in China--one third of them women--can use an e-commerce platform to export goods to 120 countries, why can’t entrepreneurs elsewhere achieve the same global reach? And if India can provide unique digital identification to 1 billion people in five years, and thereby reduce corruption by billions of dollars, why can’t other countries replicate its success? Indeed, what’s hol...
Growth without Development
This book examines how some growing countries are experiencing economic development, while others are falling behind. It addresses the fundamental issues of development strategies by examining country-specific policies that have resulted in success or failure. The author focuses on Peru and makes comparisons with Chile and South Korea, exploring the question of why the latter two countries have been more successful, while Peru has lagged behind, despite bountiful natural resources and the potential to develop into a robust economy. The central question is to understand why some countries achieve economic development, while others face enormous challenges, and fail to do so.
The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature
The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature is by far the most comprehensive work of its kind ever written. Its three volumes cover the whole sweep of Latin American literature (including Brazilian) from pre-Colombian times to the present, and contain chapters on Latin American writing in the USA. Volume 3 is devoted partly to the history of Brazilian literature, from the earliest writing through the colonial period and the Portuguese-language traditions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and partly also to an extensive bibliographical section in which annotated reading lists relating to the chapters in all three volumes of The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature are presented. These bibliographies are a unique feature of the History, further enhancing its immense value as a reference work.
Creating Fiscal Space for Poverty Reduction in Ecuador
This publication reviews Ecuador's fiscal management and public expenditure policies in the context of its development and poverty reduction goals. Findings include that the country's impressive fiscal performance of 2003 is encouraging but fragile, as several structural bottlenecks could impede fiscal discipline and recovery. Reversing poverty trends is critical for the country's stability, and this can only be achieved with well-targeted, effective and efficient pro-poor programmes.
O Sedutor
Diane Albret é órfã e passou a maior parte da sua vida num colégio interno. Sem mais família, está habituada a receber apenas uma visita: Daniel St. John, o seu irresistível tutor. Ao longo do tempo, ele visitou-a sempre uma vez por ano. Mas o seu mais recente encontro reserva-lhe uma surpresa: Daniel esperava encontrar uma menina e Diane é já uma bela e carismática mulher. Ele aceita retirá-la da clausura do colégio e levá-la consigo para Londres. Porém, ambos têm planos que preferem manter em segredo. Diane está decidida a descobrir o que se passou com a sua família, que nunca chegou a conhecer. Só Daniel pode revelar o que ela tanto deseja saber, mas ele tudo fará para que o passado permaneça secreto, pois os seus efeitos representam uma ameaça fatal para a vida de ambos. Por seu lado, Daniel está subtilmente a usar a inocência da sua protegida para uma vingança que planeia há mais de uma década. Mas a crescente proximidade entre ambos ameaça dificultar-lhes os planos e, pouco a pouco, eles apercebem-se de que têm mais em comum do que julgavam. Poderá um novo amor triunfar sobre ódios antigos?
