Environmental inequality in industrial brownfields: Evidence from French municipalities
Greenhouse Suppliers 100: A ranking of corporate producers of greenhouse gas precursors in the USA
This paper presents the first comprehensive database of corporate suppliers of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas supply stocks in the U.S. economy. The database is a publicly available resource that adds value to existing information sources in two ways. First, we combine several high-quality public data sources, including the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), which reports on most products that woul…

The co-pollutant cost of carbon emissions: An analysis of the US electric power generation sector
Fossil fuel combustion releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere along with co-pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and others. These emissions result in environmental externalities primarily in terms of climate and air quality. Here we quantify the cost of co-pollutant emissions per ton of CO 2 emissions from US electric power generation. We measure the co-pollutant cost of carbon (CPCC) as the total value of statistical life as…

Aid Conditionality as a Tool for Peacebuilding: Opportunities and Constraints
Over the past decade, aid donors have pledged billions of dollars to support peacebuilding efforts in collapsed states and war-torn societies. Peace conditionality - the use of formal performance criteria and informal policy dialogue to encourage the implementation of peace accords and the consolidation of peace - could make aid a more effective tool for building peace. In Bosnia, for example, donors have attempted to link aid to the protection o…
Is Africa a Net Creditor? New Estimates of Capital Flight from Severely Indebted Sub-Saharan African Countries, 1970-96
This paper presents estimates of capital flight from 25 low-income sub-Saharan African countries in the period 1970 to 1996. Capital flight totaled more than $193 billion (in 1996 dollars); with imputed interest earnings, the accumulated stock of flight capital amounts to $285 billion. The combined external debt of these countries stood at $178 billion in 1996. Taking capital flight as a measure of private external assets, and calculating net ext…
Let Them Eat Risk? Wealth, Rights and Disaster Vulnerability
Disaster-vulnerability reduction is an impure public good: when provided to one it is provided to others, but not equally provided to all. This means that in addition to the question of how much disaster-vulnerability reduction to provide, policymakers face the question of to whom it should be provided. This essay distinguishes between two broad classes of approaches to the latter question, one based on wealth, the other on rights

Congo's Odious Debt: External Borrowing and Capital Flight in Zaire
During the dictatorship of Mobutu Sese Seko, Congo (or Zaire, as Mobutu renamed the country) accumulated a public external debt of roughly $14 billion. At the same time, Mobutu and his associates extracted wealth from the country. By 1990, real capital flight from Zaire amounted to $12 billion. With imputed interest earnings, the accumulated stock of Zairian flight capital was nearly $18 billion. Congo's successor governments may be able to repud…
Area studies and the national security state
During the Cold War a deep rift emerged in the United States between the government's national security agencies and their critics. Most critics were not pro-Soviet. Nor did they deny that security, properly construed, is a legitimate national concern. Their critique was founded instead on the observation that the U.S. government, in the name of national security, systematically and often brutally opposed popular movements in the so-called Third …

Of Coconuts and Kings: The Political Economy of an Export Crop
The Philippines is the world's leading coconut exporter. The benefits of this trade for Filipino producers have been circumscribed by declining terms of trade in the world market and by highly unequal distribution of coconut-sector income at home. A case study of the Philippine coconut trade illustrates the crucial importance of linkages between wealth and power in determining the size and distribution of income in export agriculture.'The time ha…

Trends and projections for Bangladeshi food production
Who works, who eats
Even the government's agricultural extension agents, who are supposed to teach improved farming techniques to the peasants, in practice usually serve the rural elite. A month after our arrival in Katni, an excited band of village children ran to tell us that a "foreigner" had come to visit. It turned out to be the local agricultural extension agent. No one in the village had ever seen him before, and his immaculate white clothing and upper-class …

Population growth and real wages of agricultural labourers in Bangladesh
A long‐run negative impact of population growth upon real wages is neither theoretically self‐evident nor, in the case of rural Bangladesh, empirically clear‐cut. In addition to its negative ‘labour supply effect’, population growth may have a positive ‘labour demand effect’ upon wages. The latter may help to explain why Bangladeshi districts with higher rural population densities have higher agricultural wages, and why districts with more rapid …

National security and the future of Asian Studies
The National Security Education Act (NSEA) of 1991 poses anew the issues of scholarship and power that lay behind the origin of the Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars (CCAS) and its publication, the Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars (BCAS), a quarter of a century ago. With an initial appropriation of $150 million, the NSEA promises the largest infusion of funding for international studies since the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) of 1…
