	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Attitudes towards foreign direct investment (FDI) have changed considerably over the last two decades in the context of the widespread adoption of the Washington consensus approach to economic liberalization. FDI plays an increasingly important role in national development strategies, most notably in the least developed countries (LDCs).
377.	The Political Foundations of Development: The Case of Botswana
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Unlike many of its fellow sub-Saharan countries, Botswana has avoided the African Growth Tragedy. The success lied in the ability of the government of Botswana to successfully adopt growth-enhancing policies. We argue that the success stems from three factors. First, the government enhanced its legitimacy by relying on traditional sources of authority.
378.	less interests, more influence: the paradox of poverty reduction and the redefinition of development
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	From the mid-1990s onwards there have been significant changes in the relationship between aid donor and aid recipient countries. Structural adjustment has been replaced by poverty reduction as the overarching focus of development policy. Conditionality has fallen profoundly out of favour, replaced by an emphasis on partnership and the promotion of participatory development.

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Often poverty is synonymous with low income but increasingly the multi-dimensionality of poverty has come into focus within the development literature. Sen (2001) identifies four dimensions of poverty such as opportunity (access to markets and employment); capability (access to health and education); security (vulnerability to economic risks and to all forms of violence); and empowerment (power within and beyond the household).

381.	The Mining Industry and the Future Development of Tanzania - ESRF workshop
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	The Impact of the Mining Industry on the Future Development of Tanzania Introduction - One would be inclined to think that the possession of significant natural resource reserves is a blessing. This would especially be so for developing countries; it provides them with the necessary foreign currency and potentially increases savings, making natural resources the key to economic growth. But the reality seems different.
382.	Development Cooperation and the Right to Development
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	This paper presents a brief overview of the nature and content of the right to development as elaborated in my reports to the UN Human Rights Commission as the Independent Expert on the Right to Development. The acceptance of the right to development (RTD) as a human right involves the recognition of international cooperation as an obligation of the international community consisting of bilateral authorities and international agencies.
383.	The freedom of association in Tanzania - Implications for Civil Society and Sustainable Development
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	A cornerstone of democratic governance and constitutional liberalism is the freedom of association. This freedom enables people who share similar interests to come together and form organizations that represent their interests and views. For example, the freedom of association allows for the formation of political parties, trade unions, cooperatives, and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society organizations (CSOs).
384.	Civil society participation in the PRSP process
	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	If poverty reduction strategies are to genuinely address the various dimensions of poverty; including insecurity, vulnerability, gender inequalities and access to opportunities, work, assets, and welfare – empowerment, genuine and effective participation of civil society in key decision making processes will need to be institutionalized. It is accepted that this is because the process of tackling poverty should be owned, driven and directed by the people themselves through their governments.

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	The original International Development Targets (IDTs) were derived from a series of UN global conferences during the 1990s.

	Thursday, November 24, 2005  by Admin
	Growth and diversification in mineral economies - Planning and incentives for diversification: The era of post-colonial economic reconstruction in Africa has been a traumatic one. The quest for mineral resources to feed the mills and factories of Europe after the industrial revolution had been one of the primary drivers of the colonisation of Africa and other continents in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The second half of the twentieth century saw the dismantling of European colonisation of Africa, but flung the continent into a political struggle between capitalist and socialist influences.
