The asian financial crisis causes dynamics prospects (1) (1)KushagrashuklaShukla
This document summarizes an article about the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s. It discusses how Southeast Asian countries like Thailand and the Philippines pursued a model of "fast-track capitalism" fueled by large inflows of foreign capital. However, this made their economies highly vulnerable. When foreign investment was suddenly withdrawn in 1997 amid panic, it triggered a massive economic crisis across the region. The document critiques how the IMF response focused on structural adjustment programs that promoted further opening to foreign capital and prioritized debt repayment over economic recovery. This approach risked prolonging recession across East Asia. Alternatives to the IMF model were needed to build more sustainable development.
During the course of the second half of the twentieth century, the world economy has become increasingly interdependent as a result of the economic liberalization measures that have been taken by many countries, and the bilateral and multilateral trade promotion and cooperation agreements that have been reached by a majority of trading partners around the world. However, the benefits from the growth in international trade, and economic cooperation and interdependence, have not been shared equally by all nations. Some have benefited more than others, and some have lagged behind due to their inability to compete in a broader and increasingly dynamic global market. This paper examines the impact of economic interdependence from the perspectives of different national groupings, particularly the developed and the least developed countries. One of the questions to be addressed is: What factors contribute to the differences among those nations in taking advantage of open trade and capital mobility? It is expected that this study would be of value to economic planners and to students of international trade and globalization.
East Asia experienced extensive economic growth in the second half of the 20th century while Latin America saw stagnated growth and decline. This was largely due to differences in total factor productivity. Latin America adopted import substitution industrialization which led to inefficient state-owned enterprises, high inflation, and vulnerability to external shocks. In contrast, East Asian countries limited government intervention and inflation while promoting exports, education, savings, and sustainable growth through balanced budgets and market policies. As a result, East Asia saw investment exceed 20% of GDP annually and rapid growth, while Latin America suffered from low productivity following economic shocks.
This document discusses barriers to greater African participation in global trade and recommendations to address them. It finds that while some African countries have increased exports, many have not due to various barriers. Key recommendations include: 1) Deeper regional economic integration in Africa to create larger markets and exploit economies of scale; 2) Addressing high tariffs and non-tariff barriers African exports face in global markets, particularly for agricultural goods; 3) Improving African infrastructure and production capacity to allow greater processing of exports within Africa rather than just raw materials. Overall, reducing trade barriers both within Africa and faced by African exports globally could significantly boost African economic growth and development.
This document summarizes how external economic factors influence policymaking and management in Sub-Saharan Africa. It discusses several challenges, including weak competitive capacity in global trade which makes African exports less competitive. It also examines how commodity price fluctuations, decreasing capital inflows, high external debt burdens, and economic shocks in other countries negatively impact African countries' ability to effectively plan and implement development policies. The document concludes that African countries need to address internal weaknesses to strengthen their ability to deal with challenges posed by the external economic environment.

A2 CAMBRIDGE GEOGRAPHY: GLOBAL INTERDEPENDENCE - TRADE FLOWS AND TRADING PATT...George Dumitrache
Global trade is worth trillions annually and involves the import and export of goods and services across international borders. Comparative advantage, as developed by David Ricardo, states that countries benefit by specializing in and trading goods and services they can produce relatively more cheaply. However, developing countries often face disadvantages like dependence on primary commodities and unfavorable terms of trade, though regional trade agreements and foreign investment can help increase trade and development.
The document discusses factors that will impact future global economic growth, including declining working age populations in many countries, decreasing investment rates worldwide, and uncertain prospects for innovation and policy reforms. It argues that post-crisis growth is unlikely to return to pre-crisis levels due to these factors constraining potential growth. To boost medium-to-long term growth, policymakers should pursue structural reforms to improve business climates, education systems, and remove other obstacles, rather than relying solely on short-term stimulus policies. Global cooperation is also needed to promote open trade, financial, and labor policies.
This slide discusses about the core-periphery model given by John Friedmann. This model is basically a model of regional Development. You will able to learn about the core-periphery model very easily by this slide.
Globalization has become an inescapable reality in today's society. It refers to the increasing integration of economies and societies around the world through trade, capital and information flows, and movement of people. While globalization has increased economic growth and opportunities in many countries, it has also contributed to rising inequality, threats to national culture and sovereignty, and greater economic disruptions that can spread across borders. As India has opened its economy to global trade and investment since the 1990s, it has experienced rapid GDP growth but also increased poverty, unemployment, and social issues alongside prosperity for some. India needs further reforms to fully leverage globalization while managing its risks and disadvantages.
Following a period of strong growth across all developing regions during the first decade of the millennium and a rapid rebound from the 2008 financial crisis, a combination of falling commodity prices, increasing financial market volatility and weak global demand has negatively affected growth performance in recent years. This growth slowdown has exposed the absence of structural transformation in many developing countries even under robust growth conditions. As a result, increasing attention has turned to the trade and industrialization opportunities offered by participation in global value chains (GVCs).
This document discusses the impact of the 2008 global economic crisis and G20 responses on sub-Saharan Africa. It finds that:
1) The crisis initially reduced demand, capital flows, and trade from developed nations, slowing growth in sub-Saharan Africa.
2) Stimulus packages in developed countries had unintended protectionist effects that further hurt African exports and trade.
3) However, African nations avoided major policy reversals, and growth has rebounded somewhat due to recovery in China and emerging markets.
4) The crisis accelerated Africa's economic ties shifting from the West to partners like China, though trade and aid ties to Europe and North America remain important.

Please read the description below and identify which region the text is referring to by dragging
and dropping the name of the region into the bins provided. Historically, this region has suffered
from extreme poverty, which continues to this day. Growth has been effectively zero since the
1960?s. Problems such as political instability, poor public health and a lack of effective
institutions have all contributed to its stagnation. Until the middle of the last century, these
countries were relatively poor. Beginning in the mid 1970?s, real GDP per capita growth has
averaged 6% per year. The growth was achieved, in part, because of high levels of investment
spending in the development of human and physical capital, and rapid technological progress. In
the early 1990s, this region was in the middle of substantial social and economic reform.
Countries in this region have experienced variable growth rates, depending on their ability to
adapt to the modern market economy. In the early 20th century, this region was reasonably
prosperous. Since that time, however, growth has stagnated, owing to government instability,
banking failures and run-away inflation. Recently, some countries in the region have begun to
grow more consistently, with one country becoming a powerhouse of world economic
development.
Solution
Statement 1 represents the situation of Sub-Africa. The region has suffered from poverty for a
long time now. Economic growth has been absent ever since they were free from colonial rulers.
Statement 2 describes the situation of Asian tigers - Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and
Taiwan. Much of growth in these countries was enabled by export led industrialization.
Statement 3 describes situation of European Transition Economies where end of Socialism and

This document is a thesis that evaluates EU trade relations with developing countries through the lens of dependency theory. It begins with an introduction that outlines the research question and sub-questions. The first sub-question examines how dependency theory accounts for underdevelopment in developing regions. Dependency theory argues that developing countries' lack of development is due to their structural dependence within the global capitalist system and the active role of dominant economies in underdeveloping other regions. The thesis will apply the perspectives of dependency theorists André Gunder Frank and Samir Amin to analyze EU trade policies and their impact on developing countries' development opportunities.
THE IMPACT OF TRADE LIBERALIZATION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH; THE CASE OF SUB-SAHARA...AkashSharma618775
The main aim of this research is to explore the effect of trade liberalization on economic growth in subSaharan Africa by analyzing certain macro-economic indicators using Ordinary Least Squares approach to
estimate regression equations. Many developing countries have substantially liberalized their trade regime over the
past three decades, either unilaterally or as part of multilateral initiatives. Nevertheless, trade barriers remain
high in many developing countries. One of the concerns that attributes to the reluctance of many of these countries
to liberalize their trade regime is the possible worsening of the trade balance.
This research paper is meant to give a recommendation on which macro-economic indicators sub-Saharan African
countries should pay particular attention to, implementing the necessary policies to ensure its effectiveness thereby
ensuring a step-up in those aspects of the economy in order to promote development. It considers 46 different
countries with different economic policies in sub-Saharan Africa for a 14-year period. Most papers considering
sub-Saharan African region consider a selected few countries based on certain economic reasons of their choice,
and those who consider most countries in the region have different macroeconomic indicators they employ for their
modeling. This paper considers if not all, almost all sub-Saharan African countries regardless of their economic
status.
The COVID-19 pandemic will leave the Latin American region as the worst hit in the world, in terms of the number of infected and deceased (the human cost), and in terms of its dismal economic performance (economic cost). Thus, the region will need all the help possible to be able to get out of a situation that would probably leave it plunged into another lost decade for the region (such as the 1980s or the one that has just ended, 2010).
In this context, China is emerging as the only country that could help the region in terms of offering a market for its products, in terms of financing, and even in terms of helping to combat the pandemic.
In this article, in first place, we will see the social and economic situation in which Latin America is facing post-pandemic; second, the region's trade situation with China; third, the situation regarding investment and financing with China; fourth, the aid to combat the pandemic; and fifth, the prospects for the region's future relationship with China.

FINANCE AND LABOR: PERSPECTIVES ON
RISK, INEQUALITY, AND DEMOCRACY
Sanford M. Jacobyt
We live in an era of financial development. Since 1980, capital
markets have expanded around the world; capital shuttles the globe
instantaneously. Shareholder concerns drive executive decision
making and compensation, while the fluctuations of stock markets are
a source of public anxiety. So are the financial scandals that have
regularly occurred since 1980: junk bonds in the late 1980s;
accounting and stock options in the early 2000s; and debt
securitization today.
We also live in an era of rising income inequality and
employment risk. The gaps between top and bottom incomes and
between top and middle incomes have widened since 1980. Greater
risk takes various forms, such as wage and employment volatility and
the shift from employers to employees of responsibility for
occupational pensions.
There is an enormous literature on financial development as
there is on inequality and risk. But relatively few studies consider the
intersection of these phenomena. Standard explanations for rising
inequality--skill-biased technological change and trade--explain only
30% of the variation in aggregate inequality. What else matters? We
argue here that an omitted factor is financial development.1 This
study explores the relationship between financial markets and labor
markets along three dimensions: contemporary, historical, and
comparative. For the world's industrialized nations, we find that
financial development waxes and wanes in line with top income

The globalization paradox in the 21st century and its applicability in the an...Armend Muja
During the last three decades (1980-2010) there has been an intensification of international economic exchange both in volume, regions and people involved. The scale and depth of economic integration has raised concerns among scholars that these developments are reminiscent of the era of pre-Great Depression liberalization. Critics of globalization point out that the removal of trade barriers and capital controls would tilt the balance of power towards capital holders and richer economies. Arguably, this undermines state sovereignty, democracy and internal stability. A growing number of scholars have dismissed those concerns pointing out the net benefits of trade and globalization and reduction of world poverty. The paper finds that concerns of the demise of the nation state due to increased economic globalization are exaggerated. Increased liberalization has only served to strengthen the role of governments. However, the net gains from increased economic exchange have not been equally shared domestically nor across trading regions. Countries that have embraced globalization but maintained their breaks over its downsides have made most gains.
The purpose of this chapter is to contribute to the discussion of a number of issues concerning macroeconomic policies that should be appropriate for developing countries. We shall take into account the broader political picture of changes in the international economy, reflected objectively in terms of the nature of the balance of payments constraints facing the ‘emerging markets’ and specially the Latin American economies since the early 1990s. It is within this wider context that we present our account of the particular case of Brazil.
the Brazilian experience has some peculiarities that make it an interesting testing ground for the presumed benefits of the process of financial globalization and the policies of trade and financial opening.
Many will agree that the slow growth and extremely high inflation experienced in Brazil in the 1980s had much to do with debt crisis and the subsequent interruption of capital flows towards Latin America. Indeed, in what became known as the ‘lost decade’ Brazil experienced a severe balance of payments constraint that slowed growth and triggered the acceleration of inflation. Since the early 1990s, foreign capital started again flowing towards Brazil in large quantities, first mainly as portfolio capital but towards the end of the decade more and more as foreign direct investment. one could well have expected that this large amount of foreign capital would improve ‘quality’ (presumably increasingly ‘cold’ rather than ‘hot’ money), by alleviating the balance of payments constraint, and would have had a big effect on both inflation stabilization and in the resumption of fast economic growth.
However, what the actual record shows is that the impact on inflation stabilization, although starting a bit late, only by mid-1994, was in fact more drastic than anybody could have reasonably expected. Inflation fell spectacularly and has remained extremely low ever since. on the other hand, the growth performance was, to say the very least, extremely disappointing. this chapter will try to make sense of this experience using a combination of some features of the international situation and of particular policies followed by the Brazilian state.
Most Latin American economies followed more or less the same broad pattern of fast disinflation and slow growth with the notable exception of Chile and partial exception of Argentina. therefore the Brazilian story, in spite of its peculiarities, may arguably be seen to reflect a more general pattern.
We shall begin our discussion in the following section with a brief account of the operation of the current international monetary system, a system that we call the ‘floating dollar standard’, and of other salient features of the international trade and financial environment faced by the ‘emerging’ developing economies since the early 1990s. the third section shows how this new international environment affects and changes the nature of the balance
This chapter discusses the economic environment as an important factor in global marketing. It begins with an overview of the global economy and shifts that have occurred, such as capital movements surpassing trade and production becoming decoupled from employment. It then examines the size and characteristics of different markets by looking at factors like population, income levels, GDP, and economic development stages. Major regional economic blocs and institutions that influence global trade are also reviewed.
The document discusses two main ways that international financial institutions can adapt to increasing private capital flows and a greater role of the private sector in development:
1. Help governments create conditions for market-oriented growth through macroeconomic stability, infrastructure development, and other reforms.
2. Become direct participants in private sector investment by partnering with private investors, complementing private finance rather than displacing it, and applying private sector approaches while still pursuing development goals. This would require new flexibility, expertise in assessing commercial risk, and adapting procedures. Partnering with IFIs could benefit private investors through the IFIs' development objectives and experience in recipient countries.
This document discusses the growth of international capital flows over the past 50 years and debates around the risks and benefits of freely moving capital. It notes that the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and subsequent liberalization policies in post-Soviet states led to increased foreign direct investment inflows to those countries as they sought to attract outside investors. The end of communist regimes in other parts of the world, like Latin America, also led countries there to abandon communism and liberalize their trade policies and open their borders to foreign capital. Overall, political changes and liberalization efforts have contributed significantly to the rapid growth of international capital flows globally since the 1990s.
Brazil is considered an emerging market economy due to its fast economic growth in recent decades, increasing foreign investment, and rising international influence. However, Brazil had long struggled with problems like debt, high inflation, and protectionist policies under a military regime from 1965-1985. In the 1980s and 1990s, Brazil adopted market-oriented reforms like trade liberalization, privatization of state firms, and more stable macroeconomic policies to emerge from its previous stagnation and develop into a leading economy in Latin America and a prominent member of the BRIC countries. However, Brazil still faces challenges like inequality that prevent it from being considered an advanced economy.
Globalization has both benefits and costs for economic growth. It allows for greater specialization and trade between countries, improving productivity and GDP. However, it can also increase inequality as lower-skilled workers face more competition. While globalization has helped reduce poverty in some nations, it has also caused economic hardship for domestic industries unable to compete with imports. Overall, whether a country benefits depends on how well it adapts its infrastructure and workforce to the new global economic system.
Mena economy, investments and the specter of the arab springteam-abr
The obstinate political instability has weakened the macroeconomic fundamentals of the MENA region.
Investor confidence has been severely impacted resulting in a decline in the FDI received by the MENA region.
There is an urgent need for structural business and regulatory reforms, infrastructure development, and improvement of the education system, for the region to recover from the Arab Spring and regain its position as an attractive investment destination.
Globalization is a complex process that has economic, social, cultural and political dimensions. It involves the increasing integration of trade, investment and financial flows between countries, facilitated by advances in technology and transportation. While globalization is often viewed as a modern phenomenon, it has historical roots going back centuries as ideas, goods and people have spread between different parts of the world through exploration, migration and trade. The current era of globalization is characterized by a highly integrated global economy and society driven by multinational corporations and new communication technologies.

Nowadays, there are numerous advancements in technology. As a result, the traditional workplace has gradually transformed with home offices and virtual workplaces where employees can hold meetings using video teleconferencing tools and communicate through email and other applications such as Slack (Montrief, et al., 2020). This makes the cloud more busy which brings up the need for improved cloud security.
Generally, in a public cloud, there exists a shared responsibility between the user and the Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Due to the rise of cyber-related crimes over the years, security for things like data classification, network controls and physical security need clear owners. The division of such responsibilities is called shared responsibility model for cloud security. “According to Amazon Web Services (AWS), security responsibility is shared by both CSP and CSC and they called it as Shared Security Responsible Model” (Kumar, Raj, & Jelciana, 2018). “While client and endpoint protection, identity and access management and application level controls are a shared responsibility the responsibility resides largely with the client organization” (Lane, Shrestha, & Ali, 2017). However, the responsibilities may vary depending on the cloud service provider and the cloud environment the user is using to operate. Nevertheless, despite the cloud services used, the burden of protecting data lays upon the user.
Normally, security is broken down into two broad categories: security of the cloud and security in the cloud. Security of the cloud is a section of the shared responsibility model handled by the cloud service provider. It comprises of hardware, host operating systems and physical security of the infrastructure. Most of these logistical challenges are offloaded when an organization moves its operations to the cloud. In contrast, security in the cloud is the security responsibility handled by the user. “The cloud service customer is responsible for securing and managing the applications that run in the cloud, the operating systems, data-at-rest, data-in-transit, policies and other responsibilities” (Bennett & Robertson, 2019). Since access to customer data remains the most critical component in cloud computing, it also determined the level of security in the cloud to be implemented by the customer.
The customer is responsible for the following components. First, the customer is responsible for data security. While the provider is responsible for automatically encrypting data in transit and in storage, the customer is expected to configure file system encryption and protection of network traffic. Secondly, the customer is responsible for physical security of computers and other devices used to access the cloud. Thirdly, the customer is responsible for application security. Security of manag.

THE IMPACT OF TRADE LIBERALIZATION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH; THE CASE OF SUB-SAHARA...AkashSharma618775
The main aim of this research is to explore the effect of trade liberalization on economic growth in subSaharan Africa by analyzing certain macro-economic indicators using Ordinary Least Squares approach to
estimate regression equations. Many developing countries have substantially liberalized their trade regime over the
past three decades, either unilaterally or as part of multilateral initiatives. Nevertheless, trade barriers remain
high in many developing countries. One of the concerns that attributes to the reluctance of many of these countries
to liberalize their trade regime is the possible worsening of the trade balance.
This research paper is meant to give a recommendation on which macro-economic indicators sub-Saharan African
countries should pay particular attention to, implementing the necessary policies to ensure its effectiveness thereby
ensuring a step-up in those aspects of the economy in order to promote development. It considers 46 different
countries with different economic policies in sub-Saharan Africa for a 14-year period. Most papers considering
sub-Saharan African region consider a selected few countries based on certain economic reasons of their choice,
and those who consider most countries in the region have different macroeconomic indicators they employ for their
modeling. This paper considers if not all, almost all sub-Saharan African countries regardless of their economic
status.
The COVID-19 pandemic will leave the Latin American region as the worst hit in the world, in terms of the number of infected and deceased (the human cost), and in terms of its dismal economic performance (economic cost). Thus, the region will need all the help possible to be able to get out of a situation that would probably leave it plunged into another lost decade for the region (such as the 1980s or the one that has just ended, 2010).
In this context, China is emerging as the only country that could help the region in terms of offering a market for its products, in terms of financing, and even in terms of helping to combat the pandemic.
In this article, in first place, we will see the social and economic situation in which Latin America is facing post-pandemic; second, the region's trade situation with China; third, the situation regarding investment and financing with China; fourth, the aid to combat the pandemic; and fifth, the prospects for the region's future relationship with China.

FINANCE AND LABOR: PERSPECTIVES ON
RISK, INEQUALITY, AND DEMOCRACY
Sanford M. Jacobyt
We live in an era of financial development. Since 1980, capital
markets have expanded around the world; capital shuttles the globe
instantaneously. Shareholder concerns drive executive decision
making and compensation, while the fluctuations of stock markets are
a source of public anxiety. So are the financial scandals that have
regularly occurred since 1980: junk bonds in the late 1980s;
accounting and stock options in the early 2000s; and debt
securitization today.
We also live in an era of rising income inequality and
employment risk. The gaps between top and bottom incomes and
between top and middle incomes have widened since 1980. Greater
risk takes various forms, such as wage and employment volatility and
the shift from employers to employees of responsibility for
occupational pensions.
There is an enormous literature on financial development as
there is on inequality and risk. But relatively few studies consider the
intersection of these phenomena. Standard explanations for rising
inequality--skill-biased technological change and trade--explain only
30% of the variation in aggregate inequality. What else matters? We
argue here that an omitted factor is financial development.1 This
study explores the relationship between financial markets and labor
markets along three dimensions: contemporary, historical, and
comparative. For the world's industrialized nations, we find that
financial development waxes and wanes in line with top income

The globalization paradox in the 21st century and its applicability in the an...Armend Muja
During the last three decades (1980-2010) there has been an intensification of international economic exchange both in volume, regions and people involved. The scale and depth of economic integration has raised concerns among scholars that these developments are reminiscent of the era of pre-Great Depression liberalization. Critics of globalization point out that the removal of trade barriers and capital controls would tilt the balance of power towards capital holders and richer economies. Arguably, this undermines state sovereignty, democracy and internal stability. A growing number of scholars have dismissed those concerns pointing out the net benefits of trade and globalization and reduction of world poverty. The paper finds that concerns of the demise of the nation state due to increased economic globalization are exaggerated. Increased liberalization has only served to strengthen the role of governments. However, the net gains from increased economic exchange have not been equally shared domestically nor across trading regions. Countries that have embraced globalization but maintained their breaks over its downsides have made most gains.
The purpose of this chapter is to contribute to the discussion of a number of issues concerning macroeconomic policies that should be appropriate for developing countries. We shall take into account the broader political picture of changes in the international economy, reflected objectively in terms of the nature of the balance of payments constraints facing the ‘emerging markets’ and specially the Latin American economies since the early 1990s. It is within this wider context that we present our account of the particular case of Brazil.
the Brazilian experience has some peculiarities that make it an interesting testing ground for the presumed benefits of the process of financial globalization and the policies of trade and financial opening.
Many will agree that the slow growth and extremely high inflation experienced in Brazil in the 1980s had much to do with debt crisis and the subsequent interruption of capital flows towards Latin America. Indeed, in what became known as the ‘lost decade’ Brazil experienced a severe balance of payments constraint that slowed growth and triggered the acceleration of inflation. Since the early 1990s, foreign capital started again flowing towards Brazil in large quantities, first mainly as portfolio capital but towards the end of the decade more and more as foreign direct investment. one could well have expected that this large amount of foreign capital would improve ‘quality’ (presumably increasingly ‘cold’ rather than ‘hot’ money), by alleviating the balance of payments constraint, and would have had a big effect on both inflation stabilization and in the resumption of fast economic growth.
However, what the actual record shows is that the impact on inflation stabilization, although starting a bit late, only by mid-1994, was in fact more drastic than anybody could have reasonably expected. Inflation fell spectacularly and has remained extremely low ever since. on the other hand, the growth performance was, to say the very least, extremely disappointing. this chapter will try to make sense of this experience using a combination of some features of the international situation and of particular policies followed by the Brazilian state.
Most Latin American economies followed more or less the same broad pattern of fast disinflation and slow growth with the notable exception of Chile and partial exception of Argentina. therefore the Brazilian story, in spite of its peculiarities, may arguably be seen to reflect a more general pattern.
We shall begin our discussion in the following section with a brief account of the operation of the current international monetary system, a system that we call the ‘floating dollar standard’, and of other salient features of the international trade and financial environment faced by the ‘emerging’ developing economies since the early 1990s. the third section shows how this new international environment affects and changes the nature of the balance
This chapter discusses the economic environment as an important factor in global marketing. It begins with an overview of the global economy and shifts that have occurred, such as capital movements surpassing trade and production becoming decoupled from employment. It then examines the size and characteristics of different markets by looking at factors like population, income levels, GDP, and economic development stages. Major regional economic blocs and institutions that influence global trade are also reviewed.
The document discusses two main ways that international financial institutions can adapt to increasing private capital flows and a greater role of the private sector in development:
1. Help governments create conditions for market-oriented growth through macroeconomic stability, infrastructure development, and other reforms.
2. Become direct participants in private sector investment by partnering with private investors, complementing private finance rather than displacing it, and applying private sector approaches while still pursuing development goals. This would require new flexibility, expertise in assessing commercial risk, and adapting procedures. Partnering with IFIs could benefit private investors through the IFIs' development objectives and experience in recipient countries.
This document discusses the growth of international capital flows over the past 50 years and debates around the risks and benefits of freely moving capital. It notes that the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and subsequent liberalization policies in post-Soviet states led to increased foreign direct investment inflows to those countries as they sought to attract outside investors. The end of communist regimes in other parts of the world, like Latin America, also led countries there to abandon communism and liberalize their trade policies and open their borders to foreign capital. Overall, political changes and liberalization efforts have contributed significantly to the rapid growth of international capital flows globally since the 1990s.
Brazil is considered an emerging market economy due to its fast economic growth in recent decades, increasing foreign investment, and rising international influence. However, Brazil had long struggled with problems like debt, high inflation, and protectionist policies under a military regime from 1965-1985. In the 1980s and 1990s, Brazil adopted market-oriented reforms like trade liberalization, privatization of state firms, and more stable macroeconomic policies to emerge from its previous stagnation and develop into a leading economy in Latin America and a prominent member of the BRIC countries. However, Brazil still faces challenges like inequality that prevent it from being considered an advanced economy.
Globalization has both benefits and costs for economic growth. It allows for greater specialization and trade between countries, improving productivity and GDP. However, it can also increase inequality as lower-skilled workers face more competition. While globalization has helped reduce poverty in some nations, it has also caused economic hardship for domestic industries unable to compete with imports. Overall, whether a country benefits depends on how well it adapts its infrastructure and workforce to the new global economic system.
Mena economy, investments and the specter of the arab springteam-abr
The obstinate political instability has weakened the macroeconomic fundamentals of the MENA region.
Investor confidence has been severely impacted resulting in a decline in the FDI received by the MENA region.
There is an urgent need for structural business and regulatory reforms, infrastructure development, and improvement of the education system, for the region to recover from the Arab Spring and regain its position as an attractive investment destination.
Globalization is a complex process that has economic, social, cultural and political dimensions. It involves the increasing integration of trade, investment and financial flows between countries, facilitated by advances in technology and transportation. While globalization is often viewed as a modern phenomenon, it has historical roots going back centuries as ideas, goods and people have spread between different parts of the world through exploration, migration and trade. The current era of globalization is characterized by a highly integrated global economy and society driven by multinational corporations and new communication technologies.

Nowadays, there are numerous advancements in technology. As a result, the traditional workplace has gradually transformed with home offices and virtual workplaces where employees can hold meetings using video teleconferencing tools and communicate through email and other applications such as Slack (Montrief, et al., 2020). This makes the cloud more busy which brings up the need for improved cloud security.
Generally, in a public cloud, there exists a shared responsibility between the user and the Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Due to the rise of cyber-related crimes over the years, security for things like data classification, network controls and physical security need clear owners. The division of such responsibilities is called shared responsibility model for cloud security. “According to Amazon Web Services (AWS), security responsibility is shared by both CSP and CSC and they called it as Shared Security Responsible Model” (Kumar, Raj, & Jelciana, 2018). “While client and endpoint protection, identity and access management and application level controls are a shared responsibility the responsibility resides largely with the client organization” (Lane, Shrestha, & Ali, 2017). However, the responsibilities may vary depending on the cloud service provider and the cloud environment the user is using to operate. Nevertheless, despite the cloud services used, the burden of protecting data lays upon the user.
Normally, security is broken down into two broad categories: security of the cloud and security in the cloud. Security of the cloud is a section of the shared responsibility model handled by the cloud service provider. It comprises of hardware, host operating systems and physical security of the infrastructure. Most of these logistical challenges are offloaded when an organization moves its operations to the cloud. In contrast, security in the cloud is the security responsibility handled by the user. “The cloud service customer is responsible for securing and managing the applications that run in the cloud, the operating systems, data-at-rest, data-in-transit, policies and other responsibilities” (Bennett & Robertson, 2019). Since access to customer data remains the most critical component in cloud computing, it also determined the level of security in the cloud to be implemented by the customer.
The customer is responsible for the following components. First, the customer is responsible for data security. While the provider is responsible for automatically encrypting data in transit and in storage, the customer is expected to configure file system encryption and protection of network traffic. Secondly, the customer is responsible for physical security of computers and other devices used to access the cloud. Thirdly, the customer is responsible for application security. Security of manag.

Cloud security plays an important role in every field like business and personal world. With a large number of benefits it has some myths also. Cloud security is solely the cloud provider’s responsibility: a standard misconception is that the cloud provider automatically takes care of all the safety needs of the customer’s data and process while in the cloud. Password policies, release management for software patches, management of user roles, security training of staff, and data management policies are all responsibilities of the purchasers and a minimum of as critical because the security is done by the general public cloud provider. While users are hardening internal security, don’t assume that cloud provider backs up data and will be able to restore it just in case of a security breach. It is instrumental and important that users simply implement a backup solution that backs up data that's hosted on the cloud to an onsite backup or to a different cloud provider. In addition, in case of a security breach, user will get to restore data from backups. “There is indeed a good case to make for fair taxation and that uneven effective tax rates can distort competition and lead to smaller tax revenues” (Bauer, 2018).
Don’t get to manage the cloud: many people believe that since the cloud infrastructure is usually basically just a managed service, that the safety of the services is additionally managed. Many cloud based systems are left inadvertently unsecured because the customer doesn't know that they have to try to something to secure them, as they assume that the provider has done what an in-house staff would traditionally have done by default. Cloud security requires an equivalent discipline for security of any data center. Cloud data centers are as resilient as any, but the weakness comes if the policies, processes and tools aren’t regularly monitored by the IT operations staff responsible (Determann, 2016).
Ignore BYOD and be more secure: not supporting and implementing a BYOD policy does not mean an enterprise will be less at risk of a data breach, SVP of cloud and hosting sales. The BYOD movement is here to stay. Some experts recommend deploying a mobile content management (MCM) solution, as protecting the data will be what ultimately defines business’ security and compliance requirements. “Despite the Australian Federal Government's ‘cloud-first’ strategy and policies, and the Queensland State Government's ‘digital-first’ strategy, cloud services adoption at local government level has been limited—largely due to data security concerns” (Ali, Shrestha, Chatfield, & Murray, 2020). Cloud data isn’t saved on mobile devices: I still hear people speaking about cloud deployment as if using this service means users are not saving any enterprise data on mobile devices, which this might make device data protection a moot point.

They're Having Babies. Are We Helping?
By Patrick Welsh
The girls gather in small groups outside Alexandria's T.C. Williams High School most mornings, standing with their babies on their hips, talking and giggling like sorority sisters. Sometimes their mothers drop the kids (and their kids) off with a carefree smile and a wave. As I watch the girls carry their children into the Tiny Titans day-care center in our new $100 million building, I can't help wondering what Sister Mary Avelina, my 11th-grade English teacher, would have thought.
Okay, I'm an old guy from the 1950s, an era light-years from today. But even in these less censorious times, I'm amazed -- and concerned -- by the apparently nonchalant attitude both these girls and their mothers exhibit in front of teachers, administrators and hundreds of students each day. Last I heard, teen pregnancy is still a major concern in this country -- teenage mothers are less likely to finish school and more likely to live in poverty; their children are more likely to have difficulties in school and with the law; and on and on.
But none of that seems to register with these young women. In fact, "some girls seem to be really into it," says T.C. senior Mary Ball. "They are embracing their pregnancies." Nor is the sight of a pregnant classmate much of a surprise to the students at T.C. anymore. "When I was in middle school, I'd be shocked to see a pregnant eighth-grader," says Ball. "Now it seems so ordinary that we don't even talk about it."
Teenage pregnancy has been bright on American radar screens for the past year: TV teen starlet Jamie Lynn Spears's pregnancy caused a minor media storm last December. The pregnant-teen movie "Juno" won Oscar nods. And there was Bristol Palin, daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, bringing the issue front and center d.

Three common approaches to understanding leading – traits, behaviors, and situational or contingency approaches - may or may not be effective in leading/managing a healthcare program. Briefly summarize each and its appropriateness for healthcare management.
Health Program Management (Longest, 2015)
“Leading effectively means influencing participants to make contributions that help accomplish the mission and objectives established for a program.” (Longest, 2015, p. 139)
Traits approach
“Based on the proposition that traits - encompassing skills, abilities, or characteristics - inherent in some people explain why they are more effective at leading than others.” (Longest, 2015, p. 140)
Kirkpatrick and Locke (1991, 48) stated, “Key leader traits include: drive (a broad term which includes achievement, motivation, ambition, energy, tenacity, and initiative); leadership, motivation (the desire to lead but not to seek power as an end in itself); honesty and integrity; self-confidence (which is associated with emotional stability); cognitive ability; and knowledge.” (as cited in Longest, 2015, p. 140)
Behaviors approach
“Traits cannot fully explain effectively leading, is based on the assumption that particular behaviors or sets of behaviors that make up a style of leading might be associated with success in leading.” (Longest, 2015, p. 140)
Planning, clarifying, monitoring, problem solving, supporting, recognizing, developing, empowering, advocating change, envisioning change, encouraging innovation, facilitating collective learning, networking, external monitoring, representing (Longest, 2015, p. 142)
Tannenbaum and Schmidt’s continuum of leader styles model: (Longest, 2015, p. 147)
Autocratic leaders - makes decisions and announces them to other participants
Consultative leaders - convince other participants of the correctness of a decision by carefully explaining the rationale for the decision and its effect on the other participants and on the program
Participative leaders - present tentative decisions that will be changed in other participants can make a convincing case for different decisions
Democratic leaders - define the limits of the situation and problem to be solved and permit other participants to make the decision
Laissez-faire leaders - permit other participants to have great discretion in decision making
“Leaders must adapt and change styles to fit different situations.” (Longest, 2015, p. 147)
“An autocratic style might be appropriate in certain clinical situations in programs where work frequently involves a high degree of urgency. But this style could be disastrous in other situations, such as when a manager must decide how to offer a new service in a program or improve communication with participants.” (Longest, 2015, p. 147)

Please read Patricia Benner's Five Stages of Proficiency. Explain the importance of this theory through a nurse's perspective. No references are required. Your summary should be at least 300 words using good spelling and grammar. Can be single or double spaced.
Attached Files:
Dr. Patricia Benner is a nursing theorist who first developed a model for the stages of clinical competence in her classic book “From Novice to Expert: Excellence and Power in Clinical Nursing Practice”. Her model is one of the most useful frameworks for assessing nurses’ needs at different stages of professional growth. She is the Chief Faculty Development Officer for Educating Nurses, the Director of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching National Nursing Education and honorary fellow of the Royal College of Nursing.
Dr. Benner was born in Hampton, Virginia, and received her bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Pasadena College in 1964, and later a master’s degree in Medical-Surgical Nursing from the University of California, Berkeley. After completing her doctorate in 1982, she became an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiological Nursing at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Benner is an internationally known lecturer and researcher on health, and her work has influenced areas of clinical practice as well as clinical ethics.
This nursing theory proposes that expert nurses develop skills and understanding of patient care over time through a proper educational background as well as a multitude of experiences. Dr. Benner’s theory is not focused on how to be a nurse, rather on how nurses acquire nursing knowledge – one could gain knowledge and skills (“knowing how”), without ever learning the theory (“knowing that”). She used the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition as a foundation for her work. The Dreyfus model, described by brothers Stuart and Hubert Dreyfus, is a model based on observations of chess players, Air Force pilots, army commanders and tank drivers. The Dreyfus brothers believed learning was experiential (learning through experience) as well as situation-based, and that a student had to pass through five very distinct stages in learning, from novice to expert.
Dr. Benner found similar parallels in nursing, where improved practice depended on experience and science, and developing those skills was a long and progressive process. She found when nurses engaged in various situations, and learned from them, they developed “skills of involvement” with patients and family. Her model has also been relevant for ethical development of nurses since perception of ethical issues is also dependent on the nurses’ level of expertise. This model has been applied to several disciplines beyond clinical nursing, and understanding the five stages of clinical competence helps nurses support one another and appreciate that expertise in any field is a process learned over time.

Chapter Five
discusses the importance of
working in teams
and the
importance of emotional intelligence
in both your personal and social skills. How well are you in these areas? The goal of this week's discussion is to use the resources from this week to
develop, create, and implement a team activity with you being the leader.
INSTRUCTIONS:
First Post – due Thursday by 11:59pm EST *Due date extended due to the nature of the activity. Use this time to create an amazing activity!
Persuade at least four to eight people to do some notable activity together for at least two hours
that they would not otherwise do without your intervention. Your only restriction is that you cannot tell them why you are doing this.
The group can be any group of people: friends, family, teammates, club members, neighbors, students, or work colleagues
. It can be almost any activity
except for
watching television, eating, going to a movie, or just sitting around talking. It must be more substantial than that. Some options include a party, an organized debate, a songfest, a long hike, a visit to a museum, or volunteer work such as picking up litter, visiting a nursing home, or helping on a community project.
After completing your leadership activity, be prepared to discuss:
1. What was the activity selected?
Use specifics to describe your activity including
who attended (friends, family, co-workers, etc), location, and date. What did it feel like to make something happen in the world that would not have happened otherwise without you?
2.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
is important to develop to build relationships with others. How did you use EQ to empower others, listen to individual needs, and build relationships?
3. With this act of leadership,
what values did you exemplify
? (Use the
Values Drive Commitment c
hapter
concepts in your response.)
4. Were your members a group or a team? Using the
stages of team development
(Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing), describe the specific behaviors that de.

If the spinal cord is completely severed, then complete loss of function below the point if injury is expected (Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon & Stewart, 2015).
The nervous system is a group of nerves and neurons that transmit messages to different parts of the body. It is in charge of coordinating and controlling the body (Ball et al., 2015). The nervous system is divided into the central and the peripheral nervous system, further subdivided into autonomic, sympathetic and parasympathetic. The central nervous system is comprised of the brain. The peripheral nervous systems is comprised of the cranial and spinal nerves and the ascending and descending pathways (Ball et al., 2015). With all parts functioning properly the nervous system is able to receive and identify stimuli, control voluntary and involuntary body functions (Ball et al., 2015).
The three major units of the brain are the cerebrum, the cerebellum and the brainstem (Ball et al., 2015).
The difference between the ascending and descending tracts is that the ascending is sensory (afferent) because it delivers information to the brain and the descending tract delivers motor (efferent) information to the periphery (Ball et al., 2015)
The pituitary gland regulates metabolic processes and controls growth, lactation, and vasoconstriction through hormonal regulation (Ball et al., 2015).
The fourth cranial nerve is called trochlear and it is in charge of the downward and inward movement of the eye (Ball et al., 2015).
Risk factors for cerebrovascular accidents include hypertension, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, stress, high cholesterol/triglycerides/lipoproteins, congenital conditions and family history of cerebrovascular accidents (Ball et al., 2015).
The 5.07 monofilament test is used to test sensation in different parts of the foot in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus or peripheral neuropathy (Ball et al., 2015).
The 0 to 4+ scale is used to grade the response when testing the reflex. 0 indicates no response and 4+ indicates hyperactive reflex (Ball et al., 2015).
Older adults may be taking medication for other conditions that can affect their balance, mental status and coordination and it is important know this in order to rule out whether a symptom is due to a side effect or a cause for concern (Ball et al., 2015).
Meningitis that occurs during the first year may cause epilepsy later on in life, also any infection in the first year of life can impa.

Moore Plumbing Supply Company
Capital Structure
Mort Moore founded Moore Plumbing Supply after returning from duty in the South Pacific during World War II. Before joining the armed forces, he had worked for a locally owned plumbing company and wanted to continue with that type of work once the war effort was over. Shortly after returning to his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, he became aware of an unprecedented construction boom. Returning soldiers needed new housing as they started families and readjusted to civilian life. Mort felt that he could make more money by providing plumbing supplies to contractors rather than performing the labor, and he decided to open a plumbing supply company. Mort’s parents died when he was young and was raised by his older brother, Stan, who ran a successful shoe business during the 1920’s. Stan often shared stories about owning his own business and in particular about a large expansion that was completed just before the market collapsed. Because of the economic times, Stan lost the business but was lucky to find employment with the railroad. He dutifully saved part of each paycheck and was so thankful that his brother returned home safely that he decided to use his sizable savings to help his brother open his business. Mort kept in mind his brother’s failed business and vowed that his company would operate in such a way that it would minimize its vulnerability of general business downturns.
Moore’s extensive inventory and reasonable prices made the company the primary supplier of the major commercial builders in the area. In addition, Mort developed a loyal customer base among the home repair person, as his previous background allowed him to provide excellent advice about specific projects and to solve unique problems. As a result, his business prospered and over the past twenty years, sales have grown faster than the industry. Because of the large orders, the company receives favorable prices from suppliers, allowing Moore Plumbing Supply to remain competitive with the discount houses that have sprung up in the area. Over the years, Mort has kept his pledge and the company has remained a very strong financial position. It had a public sale of stock and additional stock offers to fund expansions including regional supply outlets in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Sioux City, Iowa.
Recently, Stan decided that the winters were too long and he wanted to spend the coldest months playing golf in Florida. He retired from the day-to-day operations but retained the position of President and brought in his grandson, Tom Moore, to run the company as the new Chief Executive Officer. Tom was an excellent choice for the position. After graduating summa-cum-laud with a degree in communications from the University of Wisconsin, he worked in the Milwaukee operation where he was quickly promoted to manager. In ten years, sa.
