Does globalisation entail a demand for uniformity, or diversity, of the (political) economic institutions of nation-states? What is the theoretical underpinning of the demand? And what are the implications of the demand for economic development? The conventional literature known as comparative economic systems has been unable to answer these question, because there is an intrinsic tension between its methodology (the neoclassical framework of individualistic rational choices and their equilibrium) and the subject matter (the multiplicity of economic institutions and development experiences in the real world). The new comparative economics has consisted of a variety of attempts to cope with this tension: some aimed at preserving the neoclassical framework at a more fundamental level, while some others aimed at transcending the framework to arrive at a new theory of economic systems and development. This paper argues that attempts that adhere to the neoclassical tradition is likely to lead to dead ends, while attempts that encompass collective as well as individualistic rationality represent more promising directions. Fuller developments of the literature, however, require incorporating objectified institutions and paradigmised technology into its sphere of inquiry. It is submitted that there are important lessons to learn from classical political economy and their modern presentations, particularly Marxian theories of the social forces of production, in this regard.

The objective of this paper is to assess the role of FDI in China’s economic development with reference to the broader literature on FDI and late development. Three main findings come out from the analyses in the paper. First, it is found that FDI tends to promote the improvement in allocative efficiency, while having a negative impact on productive efficiency. Second, insofar as FDI does promote overall productivity growth, this tends to be a matter of cumulative causation rather than one of single-direction causation. Third, in the context of a comparative analysis of two distinctive regional models, it is found that the economic impact of FDI tends to be more favourable in the inward-looking, capital-deepening pattern of development (the ‘Shanghai model’) than that in the export-oriented, labour-intensive pattern (the ‘Guangdong model’). Further analyses, however, suggest that the ‘Shanghai model’ has its intrinsic problems of sustainability. The scope for applying it to China as a whole is thus judged to be limited.

China, the ‘East Asian Model’ and Late Development (UNSPECIFIED)
There is an influential, neo-liberal proposition in the scholarly literature on China’s economic transformation since the late 1970s. It states that China’s reformed economic institutions are a mix of market-conforming and market-supplanting elements, that its developmental achievements so far have been ascribable to the conforming elements whereas the accumulated problems being ascribable to the supplanting elements, and that the problems have tended to outweigh the achievements as the country’s economic transition progresses from the allegedly easy phase to the difficult phase. This paper offers an alternative interpretation of the Chinese experience. The central proposition is that China’s economic institutions could be seen in favourable light both theoretically and with reference to the East Asian development experience. Specifically, the developmental implications of the market-conforming and market-supplanting elements should not be understood in any absolute sense, but rather depend on the appropriate match or otherwise between the institutions and the external environment. The developmental achievements to date indicate that China’s economic reform has managed to achieve a basically appropriate match between the two aspects, although enormous uncertainties still cloud over the future prospects owing to changes both in the external environment and the reform strategies of the state leadership.

This paper provides new national accounts consistent poverty estimates for low-income countries. The properties of the new estimates are compared to the existing estimates by the World Bank based on household survey means. We also use the new estimates to reflect on the recent controversies regarding the relationship between economic growth and poverty reduction. It is argued that the controversy is mainly due to the lack of distinction between what one can refer to as ‘generalized extreme poverty’ in low-income countries and the more ‘normal’ poverty situations in higher income economies.

The Politics of IMF and World Bank Lending: Will it Backfire in the Middle East and North Africa?
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) consists of the predominately Islamic cultures of the Gulf Arab countries, the Levant, the countries of North Africa, plus Iran and the more industrialized country of Israel.1 MENA assumes both political and economic significance. Politically, it is arguably the epicentre of world crisis, chronically war-prone and the site of the world’s most protracted conflicts (Hinnebusch, 2003, p. 1); economically, it owns the bulk of the world’s oil reserves and as such serves as the petrol tank of the world economy, driving in particular the US economic engine. The region benefited immensely from the sharp increase in oil prices in the 1970s. The resulting wealth financed an explosion of investment and growth in the oil-exporting countries. This investment, in turn, spilled over into other non-oil countries in the region via worker remittances, trade and capital flows (IMF, 2003), such that Yemen is now the only remaining low-income country. However, the wealth derived from the boom in oil export revenues failed to bring peace, political stability and sustained economic growth to the region.

Real Exchange Rates, Labor Markets and Manufacturing Exports in a Global Perspective
The timing and the intensity of the impact of external shocks on different developing economies has been varied, and there has also been a diversity of experiences in the ability of the different economies to adjust to the new circumstances. On the whole the Asian countries were relatively more successful in adjusting to the adverse external shocks, and they achieved some of the highest rates of growth in the world economy during these two decades. Countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America on the other hand faced considerable difficulties in adjusting their economies to the new external circumstances with a significant slowdown in their growth performance in this period. The relative success of Asian countries was by and large due to their ability to achieve fast rates of manufacturing export growth during this period of economic instability and slowdown in the international economy (see Karshenas 1998). The relationship between real exchange rates, manufacturing competitiveness and export performance, therefore, furnishes the entry point in this chapter into the analysis of the role of labor markets, and more specifically wage flexibility, in global economic adjustments.

La Banque mutuelle: de l'utopie au marché des capitaux, le cas britannique. [The Mutual Bank: from Utopia to the Capital Market. The British Case]
This paper examines the influence of the French social philosopher on banking as a means of stimulating capitalist enterprise. It argues that, while successful at an early stage of capitalism, Saint-Simonian mutual proved unable to moblise capital on the scale that later became possible with the development of capital markets. This is then illustrated with a comparison of building societies in Britain that remained mutual, with building societies that transformed themselves into banks. The latter are shown to be operating with wider margins, and therefore greater scope for raising capital.

Open Market Operations in Emerging Markets. The Mexican Experience
This chapter discusses the experience of central bank open market operations in emerging countries that have become integrated into global financial markets and experience high international capital mobility. We argue that the operational procedures of central banks in emerging countries must allow for the weakness and shallowness of financial markets that are subject to large international capital movements. In such a situation open market operations remain central to the implementation of monetary policy, while non-market mechanisms are ineffective. This is explained in terms of the Latin American financial markets and the origins of inflation in these countries. The argument is developed using the example ofMexican monetary policy after the 1994 crisis. It is argued that in that period operational instruments had different results even though the objectives of central banks’ monetary policy remained the same as in more financially advanced economies.

Aid and Power: The World Bank and Policy-Based Lending
When the major aid organizations made flows of aid conditional on changes in policy, they prompted an extensive debate in development circles. Aid and Power has made one of the most significant and influential contributions to that debate. This edition has been revised to take account of changes within the World Bank itself and the extension of policy based lending to the formerly socialist economies of east and central Europe.

Malawi is popularly regarded as a paradigm of African capitalism, having pursued an export-orientated, agriculturally-based development strategy in accordance with the dictates of international comparative advantage. Until the late 1970s, when the economy was derailed by
exogenous shocks and poor policy response, the reward was almost two decades of rapid economic growth. Madagascar is often cited as an example of failed African socialism.
Capital-intensive import-substituting industrialisation, nationalisation, a distorted incentive regime and over-extension of the state's economic apparatus contributed to three decades of declining per capita income in the post-independence period. Also by way of contrast, Malawi
has pursued over a decade of largely uninterrupted stabilisation and structural adjustment programmes under the auspices of the IMF and World Bank, whilst Madagascar has been slow to respond to the macro-economic crisis facing many low-income LDCs in the 1980s. This book review article assesses two books on the economic experience of these two contrasting African economies.

Recent research has developed and tested a theoretical framework for analysing the macro and micro economic effects of temporary positive external trade shocks in small open developing economies (Bevan et al., 1990). The findings, termed ‘construction boom theory’, suggest that the extent to which a boom’s transient windfall income is converted into a permanent income gain depends upon the savings responses of the public and private sectors and their ability to allocate savings among different fixed and financial assets. The nature of the economic policy regime plays a crucial role. An extensive system of controls over prices, interest rates, imports and foreign asset purchases is likely to induce a sub-optimal allocation of the windfall resources and to depress rates of return to saving and thus permanent income gains. Moreover, an inappropriate macroeconomic policy response during the boom (especially an excessive expansion of public spending, rapid growth of the money supply and an
appreciation of the real exchange rate) may have very serious adverse consequences for external and internal macroeconomic imbalances during and/or following the end of the boom. Macroeconomic problems include excessively
large construction booms, declining tradeables output, over-extended public sectors, unsustainable public deficits, overvalued exchange rates and inflation.
Many of these problems ultimately contributed to the need for the structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) which have been under way in much of sub-Saharan Africa for well over a decade. The aim of this article is to assess
these SAPs from the standpoint of whether the reforms have left adjusting countries in a better position to manage temporary positive external trade shocks or commodity price booms in three important respects: diversifying the economy; efficiently saving and investing boom income; and appropriately managing the macro-economy in the face of a positive trade shock.

Stabilisation and Structural Adjustment: The Case of Jordan and Malawi (UNSPECIFIED)
This paper analyses and compares World Bank structural
adjustment programmes and International Monetary Fund (IMF) stabilisation programmes in Malawi during the 1980s and Jordan during the 1990s. Both are small aid-dependant economies with a narrow export base making them vulnerable to exogenous shocks. The article pays particular attention to the political economy environment in which reform programmes are implemented and to the role of exogenous shocks, both adverse and favourable, in determining the outcome of the programmes. The sequencing of reforms is also assessed in both countries.

Globalisation, International Finance and Political Islam in the Arab World (UNSPECIFIED)
This article looks at one important aspect of globalization in the Arab World, namely the provision of international finance by the US, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank in support of economic liberalization programs. This flow of international finance has been partly determined by geopolitical factors and in some countries has resulted in a decline in state provision of social welfare, increased poverty, and increased inequality. Not only has this form of globalization been increasingly challenged by Islamist groups, but many such groups have moved in to provide social capital and fill the welfare gap created by the gradual withdrawal of the state from socio-economic affairs. Globalization has thus strengthened the hand of political Islam and undermined the political legitimacy of incumbent regimes.

The IMF and the World Bank in Jordan: A Case of Over-Optimism (UNSPECIFIED)
This article analyzes the IMF and World Bank guided economic liberalization program which has taken place in Jordan since 1989. It argues that the current euphoria surrounding the outcome of the program is misplaced in two respects. Firstly, Jordan was not the model reformer often portrayed by the IMF and World Bank in their public statements. Secondly, an in-depth analysis of the growth
that was recorded during the reform period shows that it was not the type of export-led intensive growth normally expected of a successful stabilization and structural
reform program guided by the IMF and World Bank. Instead, growth has been extensive rather than intensive i.e., based upon increased factor inputs rather than
productivity gains and focused in the non-tradable sector in the mid-1990s growth period and the non-tradables and an enclave export sector since 2000. We ask therefore, whether the disappointing outcome was the result of reform slippage on the part of the authorities or due to the (partial) imple entation of an inappropriate
reform program. In analyzing the program content, we identify some weaknesses in the policy prescriptions and a degree of conflict between the IMF and World Bank.
Our conclusion is that the publicly upbeat interpretation that has been placed by the Bank and the Fund on Jordan’s reform program reflects a degree of donor interest
on the part of these two institutions, namely, the desire to present Jordan as a model of reform and globalization in the MENA region in order to justify the continued
flow of funds to what had become one of the major Western allies in the region post-1992.

Although there is now a strong commitment to double aid to low-income countries, much work remains to be done to operationalise this in a way that maximises the effectiveness of the doubled aid flow. The quality of aid is as important if not more important than the quantity, and aid either poorly delivered or poorly utilised can lead to negative effects in the recipient country. This article focuses on some of the issues that will need to be resolved if the doubling of aid to Africa is to help propel the continent into self-sustaining growth in a manner compatible with achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The article looks firstly at the consensus that has emerged since 2002 regarding
the way aid should be delivered and used. We refer to this as the Monterrey Consensus. We examine outstanding issues, including those concerning the possible negative returns to aid, problems of absorptive capacity defined in various ways, the modality of aid delivery, and the use of aid to build up foreign-exchange reserves. The next part of the article represents a more radical departure and questions aspects of the consensus itself. The final section offers a conclusion.

Food Insecurity, Poverty and the Malawi Starter Pack: False Start or Fresh Start? (UNSPECIFIED)
Chronic food insecurity and chronic poverty are closely related in Malawi. Since independence in 1964 national food security has been a key policy objective. However, until the 1990s less emphasis was placed on the household dimensions of food security and its links with chronic poverty. In the last decade a number of initiatives have been used in Malawi to tackle the issue of household food insecurity. One of the most controversial has been the Starter Pack programme launched in 1998. Initially consisting of a free handout of packs of improved maize seed, legumes and fertiliser to every small holder farm household in Malawi the scheme, under donor pressure, was subsequently scaled down to become a form of targeted social safety net programme. This paper analyses the strengths and weakness of both the original programme and its scaled down version and assesses the reason for the considerable opposition to the programme from Malawi’s donor community. Although Starter Pack is no longer operative in Malawi the Malawian experience is used to derive lessons for other countries where household food insecurity is an important dimension of chronic poverty.

Economic Liberalisation, Social Capital and Islamic Welfare Provision
This book looks at two aspects of Islamic activity in the Middle East and North Africa, the development of social capital and the provision of welfare services, within the context of economic liberalisation programmes to see whether the retrenchment of the state under liberalisation has created a space for Islamic-based activities.

KEY MESSAGES:
∙ Low-income countries (LICs) are highly vulnerable to fluctuations in commodity prices. Excessive price volatility complicates macroeconomic management and can worsen long-run growth and development prospects.
∙ Financial speculation has caused price volatility in the international markets beyond what could possibly be explained on the grounds of fundamentals of supply and demand alone.
∙ Field studies of the cotton and coffee sectors in Tanzania and Uganda show that sound market structures and institutions need to be in place for producers, households and villages to cope with price shocks.
∙ The case study of copper in Zambia highlights the extraordinary difficulties LICs encounter in devising appropriate monetary and exchange rate policies over the commodity price cycle.
∙ Overall, we reach the conclusion that LICs' vulnerability to commodity price volatility requires international support targeting supply-side constraints, together with the establishment of a financing scheme compensating the effects of price shocks. Of course, it is crucial that international support be premised on the pursuance of sound governance and macroeconomic policy at the domestic level.
∙ In support of our argument for an increased role of foreign aid as a temporary device to counter excessive price volatility, we outline the main features of our proposal for such a compensatory financing mechanism and show, in the case of Uganda, that its application would be highly effective and relatively cost-efficient in achieving the goal of increased protection from price volatility and trade shocks more in general.

Selectivity at Work: Country Policy and Institutional Assessments at the World Bank
The World Bank has been at the forefront of a redefinition of conditionality in the late 1990s, away from finance in return for the promise of policy reform, as was typical under structural adjustment, towards the disbursement of funds conditional on what has already been achieved. Under ‘selectivity’ or performance-based aid, aid allocations are rationed on the basis of deviation from an ideal country model, captured in the Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA). This article seeks to situate the emergence of the selectivity practice and undertakes a close review of the CPIA, the mechanism at the heart of performance-based aid. This is put against the backdrop of the transition from Washington to post-Washington Consensus. The CPIA emerges as a prism through which we can observe crucial features of how the World Bank’s relationship with poor countries is regulated. This reveals the persistence of a set of imperatives in World Bank operational practices, often at variance with the World Bank rhetoric that has sought to move beyond the neo-liberal bias characteristic of World Bank conditionality of the 1980s and early 1990s.
