This volume investigates the missing link, the complicated realities of the relations between governance and development through case studies of ASEAN countries. Its main objective is to explore a theoretical framework to overcoming the limitations of mainstream approaches by employing case studies on decentralization, crisis management, corporate governance and foreign aid management of both public and private entities. From the beginning of the 1990s onwards, the international aid community has increasingly stressed that good governance, together with democracy and protection of basic human rights, is indispensable for sustainable economic development. The terms, however, are complex, broad, and arguable. They largely refer to discipline of government institutions and the capacity of the public sector. While a wide variety of empirical studies has been done on the relations between good governance and development, it is still unclear how the differences in governance influence development performance in a real world.
"This is a bold project recording the lives of a particular group of Southeast Asians. Most of the people whose biographies are included here have settled down in the ten countries that constitute the region. Each of them has either self-identified as Chinese or is comfortable to be known as someone of Chinese ancestry. There are also those who were born in China or elsewhere who came here to work and do business, including seeking help from others who have ethnic Chinese connections. With the political and economic conditions of the region in a great state of flux for the past two centuries, it is impossible to find consistency in the naming process. Confucius had stressed that correct name...
. This book is designed for introductory one-semester or one-year courses in communications networks in upper-level undergraduate programs. The second half of the book can be used in more advanced courses. As pre-requisites the book assumes a general knowledge of computer systems and programming, and elementary calculus. The second edition expands on the success of the first edition by updating on technological changes in networks and responding to comprehensive market feedback..
This highly relevant study provides an incisive analysis of a critical phase in recent East Asian financial history, exploring the underlying causes of the financial crisis that struck Indonesia during the second half of 1997. Matsumoto’s extensive commercial experience in Indonesian finance during these critical years, allows him to skilfully argue that the roots of the crisis lay in the period of capital liberalization undertaken during the boom years from 1994 to 1997 which encouraged the development of fragile and unstable financial structures, involving increased corporate leverage, reliance on external debt, and the introduction of riskier and more complicated financial instruments a...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security, ACNS 2012, held in Singapore, in June 2012. The 33 revised full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 192 submissions. They are organized in topical sessions on authentication, key management, block ciphers, identity-based cryptography, cryptographic primitives, cryptanalysis, side channel attacks, network security, Web security, security and privacy in social networks, security and privacy in RFID systems, security and privacy in cloud systems, and security and privacy in smart grids.
The Internet of Things (IoT) networks have revolutionized the world and have innumerable real-time applications on automation. A few examples include driverless cars, remote monitoring of the elderly, remote order of tea or coffee of your choice from a vending machine, and home/industrial automation amongst others. Fundamentals of Internet of Things build the foundations of IoT networks by leveraging the relevant concepts from signal processing, communications, net-works, and machine learning. The book covers two fundamental components of IoT networks, namely, the Internet and Things. In particular, the book focuses on networking concepts, protocols, clustering, data fusion, localization, en...
