Social Service, Private Gain
Keeping First Nations children at home
Jordan’s case illustrates one of several areas where the formulation of better federal child and family service funding policy for First Nations children and young people, could go a long way toward improving the lives of First Nation children on reserve
Public–private partnerships, social impact bonds, and the erosion of the state in Canada
Public–private partnerships and social impact bonds are both forms of private sector encroachment on state activity and are new frontiers of commodification that rely, ultimately, on subsidies or concessions from the state. This article provides an update on both models in the Canadian context, and it reviews theories that rationalize their emergence and growth. Both models have been nurtured by direct and indirect government support, as opposed …
African immigrants in Canada
This article provides a profile of African immigrants in Canada, with a focus on human capital and remittance behaviour. Our results show that about one-third of African immigrants in Canada have a Bachelor's degree or higher, and that the stock of African immigrants increased by 31 per cent over a five-year period, while total remittances from Canada to Africa doubled. Results from our quantitative analysis show that family income, age, educatio…

Public-Private Partnerships After the Global Financial Crisis
John Loxley’s article “Public-Private Partnerships After the Global Financial Crisis: Ideology Trumping Economic Reality” provides an overall assessment of public-private partnerships (PPPs), with a particular emphasis on their use in Canada and the issues that have emerged in the initial phases of the crisis.

What is Distinctive About International Development Studies
International Development Studies (ids) focuses on developing countries per se, examining issues of global applicability of common concern to all regions; is interdisciplinary in nature; fosters studies at the international, national, and sub-national levels and is at once theoretical, policy-oriented, and empirical. While ids programs have a clear commitment to an interdisciplinary approach, they each have different ways of accomplishing it. The…

NEPAD's position on foreign aid is quite contradictory. On the one hand, it is clear that the bulk of the additional $64 billion a year being sought to fund the programme would have to come mainly

Zambia
The African Debt
The magnitude of Africa's debt burden is both a testimony to the failure of past economic policies and a severe impediment to the adoption of alternative approaches to economic development. It is an impediment partly because of the necessity to service past debts, leaving little space for investment in productive activities, and partly because it strengthens the dependency of African states on foreign creditors and aid donors who, by tying assist…

Structural adjustment in Africa
An analysis of the experience of Ghana and Zambia in operating structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) illustrates well the debate taking place on the appropriateness of these programmes in the context of African economies. Both countries faced major economic crises in the 1980s. While supporters of SAPs see Ghana as the success story of World Bank and IMF policies, Zambia is regarded as a prime example of failure because of non‐adoption of these…

Multinationals, workers and the parastatals in Tanzania
Does nationalisation provide the answer to the increasing domination of the mncs? In the Tanzanian case, nationalisation has given the Government, through the ‘parastatal’ enterprises, control of a significant part of the industrial sector, but essentially decision making remains unplanned and uncoordinated. The parastatals remain at the mercy of the foreign technical expert, or of the management agreement with the former mnc owner. The developme…

Saving the World Economy
Twelve months ago world capitalism appeared to be on the verge of a total breakdown. Unemployment in the major capitalist countries rose to over 30 million, world trade and growth actually fell, and the economic crisis of the third world threatened to bring the international banking system crashing down. Belief that the system was about to collapse was widespread and generated a flurry of proposals on both sides of the Atlantic designed to head o…
