Border Management Modernization

openknowledge.worldbank.org –

This book provides border management policymakers and reformers with a broad survey of key developments in and principles for improving trade facilitation through better border management, including practical advice on particular issues. In contrast to the traditional border management reform agenda, with its focus on improving customs operations, this book addresses both customs reform and areas well beyond customs-a significant broadening of scope. The book thus presents a new, more more...

A New deal for engagement in fragile states

g7plus.org –

The current ways of working in fragile states need serious improvement. Despite the significant investment and the commitments of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005) and the Accra Agenda for Action (2008), results and value for money have been modest. Transitioning out of fragility is long, political work that requires country leadership and ownership. Processes of political dialogue have often failed due to lack of trust, inclusiveness, and leadership. International partners can more...

The State and Illegality in Indonesia

oapen.org –

Here we have ordinary civilians engaging in what are apparently acts of pure criminality that do not involve abuse of state office or misuse of state funds, but in order to do so, they find it most convenient to imitate corrupt state officials. Everybody involved apparently takes it for granted that this act of imitation is logical, even crafty. Neither the military officers being imitated, nor the police officers in charge of investigations, nor those being swindled, nor the reporters, more...

Dozens of United States diplomatic cables released in a WikiLeaks dump in 2011 reveal new details of the US effort to push foreign governments to approve genetically engineered (GE) crops and promote the worldwide interests of agribusiness giants like Monsanto and DuPont.

EU law-making is on the line as the European Investment Bank comes out fighting against US financial regulation

eurodad.org –

The EIB, the so-called ‘EU bank’ that primarily finances European infrastructure projects that are in line with EU policies, is engaged in a struggle to gain exemptions from new provisions under US law, in order to maintain its trading of over-the-counter financial derivatives in the US market. The new obligation to trade these type of derivates through central counterparties, where the trading has to be cleared by setting aside adequate margins and providing due reporting, appears to be too more...

This paper presents evidence based on firm-level data from 10 Latin American countries to quantify the heterogeneity of firm productivity and the degree of resource misallocation within countries.

Perceptions versus reality: Assessing popular evaluations of election quality in Africa

afrobarometer.org –

In this paper, I assess the determinants and validity of citizens’ perceptions of election quality. First, I suggest that citizens’ evaluation of the performance of election-related institutions is the most crucial determinant of their election quality perceptions; however, citizens’ personal experience with electoral irregularities, and affiliation with electoral winners also matter. Second, I argue that citizens’ election quality perceptions are generally indicative of prevailing trends more...

The role of Mexico in the G20

g20.org –

From the very beginning of the G20, Mexico has promoted the enhancement of its role as a representative, inclusive and effective forum for taking and implementing economic and financial decisions in a world where the international economy is increasingly interdependent and multipolar. As John Kirton has suggested, the G20 is “the culmination of an expansion of the center of global governance to include ascending powers alongside advanced ones, and to give each equal, institutionalized more...
