Draining development?

This volume assesses the dynamics of these flows, much of which is from corruption and tax evasion.
Nigeriangate
NIGERIANGATE is a true story. It is about the scams that are perpetrated around the world and out of the country of Nigeria. "I have gone through the entire process, and my bitter experience made me come to the conclusion of needing to describe the entire episode. However, after the experience, I am aware that 419 scams exist in Nigeria, and many are still the victims of the same." This is an eye-opening book that serves as a warning to others who are in the process of getting involved or are already involved in a scam, people who are itching to get rich by a shortcut. "I am a victim of the scam, though all my projects are in vogue, which I have witnessed when I went to Nigeria. The entire fund in question has been siphoned off by the perpetrators, who are disguised and are without any moral turpitude. Hence the NIGERIANGATE emergence." If you have ever been tempted by get-rich-quick schemes, this book is your warning call! Author Bio: M.S. Natarajan was a mechanical engineer in the Indian Air Force. He is now a retired pensioner and lives in Chennai, India. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/msnatarajan

Persistent Organic Pollutants in Asia
Large amounts of data obtained through environmental monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 10 Asian countries and Australia have been compiled and explored using principles of environmental chemistry, toxicology, and risk assessment. This book also includes descriptions and discussions of current governmental policies, monitoring and surveillance programs, history of manufacturing and applications, emission sources, impacts on human health, and cross-boundary transport of POPs in these countries. * Compiles up-to-date sources, distributions, transport, and fates of highly concerned persistent organic pollutants (POPs) * Presents exploratory examinations of the data guided by the principles of environmental chemistry, toxicology, and risk assessment * Includes important context and insight regarding government policies, monitoring and surveillance programs, history of manufacturing and applications, emission sources, impact on human health, and cross-boundary transport of POPs
Social Purpose, Commercialization, and Innovations in Microfinance
This book analyses three key aspects of microfinancing, namely social purpose, commercialization and innovations and examines, through a global perspective, how these aspects helped and diverted microfinance institutions towards the attainment of their dual goals over the last twenty years. Since microfinance remains informal in nature for most economies, not all financial innovations are suitable for its needs. Hence, the arguments in the book put forth an important challenge to the advocates of innovations and subsequently highlight why MFIs should be cautious when integrating innovations to ensure its original promise. The book is based on empirical analysis by utilising the latest and global microfinance market data, rather than focusing on a specific region. Thus, the book bridges a gap in knowledge by unravelling detail of the social purpose, commercialization and innovations within the field of microfinance and will be a valuable resource for those exploring the dynamics of innovations in microfinance.
