  • Interactions between aeolian and fluvial systems in dryland environments

    Open AccessJoanna E Bullard, Ian LivingstoneARTICLEArea2002Cited by: 1

    Historically, fluvial and aeolian processes in dryland environments have been viewed as mutually exclusive. However, recent research indicates that in many regions dryland aeolian and fluvial systems do not operate independently. There are interactions between the two systems that have important implications for the geomorphology of the landscape. This paper reviews the factors controlling the transfer of sediments between aeolian and fluvial sys…

  • Financing Decentralized Development in a Low-Income Country: Raising Revenue for Local Government in Uganda

    Open AccessIan Livingstone, Roger CharltonARTICLEDevelopment and Change2001Cited by: 4

    Uganda has been engaged for a number of years in an ambitious programme of political and financial decentralization involving significantly expanded expenditure and service delivery responsibilities for local governments in what are now forty-five districts. Fiscal decentralization has involved allocation of block grants from the centre to complement increased local tax revenue-raising efforts by districts and municipalities. This article is conc…

  • Agriculture, Small Enterprise Development and Poverty Eradication in Vietnam

    Ian LivingstoneARTICLEJournal of the Asia Pacific Economy2000Cited by: 1

    The article identifies two problem areas in relation to the otherwise impressive agricultural growth achieved by Vietnam: a marked trend towards rural differentiation and to marginalization of certain groups, and the emergence of substantial unemployment. It assesses the potential contributions of household-based rural industry and of independent small-scale enterprises, concluding that while the former makes a useful contribution to household vi…

  • Role-playing Planning Public Inquiries

    Ian LivingstoneARTICLEJournal of Geography in Higher…1999Cited by: 9References: 2

    In the UK and elsewhere, planning public inquiries are held to allow public debate when there is concern over a land development decision. Using the format of the inquiry provides geography students, usually working in teams, with the opportunity to investigate an environmental issue from a particular point of view and then to present their case as an oral presentation and a written report. Students have to take responsibility for managing the pr…

  • Development planning in a re‐emergent Cambodia: The first socioeconomic development plan, 1996–2000

    Ian LivingstoneARTICLEJournal of the Asia Pacific Economy1998

    After a brief description of transitional planning exercises in Cambodia, the article describes the main features of Cambodia's new Socio‐economic Development Plan, 1996–2000, which includes an exceptionally strong emphasis on social development, with direct targeting of vulnerable groups. The economic problem to be addressed is how to finance ambitious social targets, given three constraining elements: a lack of exportables to secure foreign exc…

  • Privatization and public enterprise reform in the Asia‐Pacific region: The experience of privatization and private investment in Lao PDR and Cambodia

    Ian LivingstoneARTICLEJournal of the Asia Pacific Economy1997Cited by: 1References: 1

    Privatization in both Lao PDR and Cambodia occurred as part of a process of overall economic liberalization. In both cases, privatization was effectively forced upon the governments concerned as a result of the sudden withdrawal of Soviet assistance and loss of previous trade links with Eastern Europe. Consequently, privatization in the industrial sector was executed with great rapidity in both cases, and carried out alongside the re‐establishmen…

  • Learning in small groups in university geography courses: Designing a core module around group projects

    Mick Healey, H Scott Matthews et al.ARTICLEJournal of Geography in Higher…1996Cited by: 18References: 1

    As class sizes have increased and staff‐student ratios have worsened, group work has been seen as one way in which the quality of the learning experience for students may be maintained or improved. This paper focuses on the use of learning in small groups to undertake geography projects. We explore how the advantages for students and staff of learning through group project work may be achieved, and how the potential disadvantages can be reduced o…

  • Some Evidence on Informal Sector Apprenticeship in Uganda

    Open AccessIan Livingstone, Susan KemigishaARTICLEThe Journal of Modern African…1995

    The system of apprenticeship within the so-called informal sector in East and Central Africa is generally thought to be more limited than in West Africa, albeit less well documented. This note reports briefly some findings from Uganda, based on a survey covering 45 metal-working and 45 wood-working establishments in and around Kampala from June to August 1993. Selected on a more or less random basis, all 90 were in the 'micro-enterprise' category…

  • Minimum Wage Policy, Rural Development and Poverty Alleviation in Malawi

    Open AccessIan LivingstoneARTICLEDevelopment and Change1995

    This article examines the pattern of minimum wage changes in Malawi and some of their effects, and considers more generally the appropriateness of a minimum wage policy in developing country situations similar to that of Malawi. After a progressive decline in the real value of the minimum wage during the 1970s there is evidence that the government is attempting, through periodic and rather erratic corrective action, to maintain something like a c…

    A variety of innovations from UK institutions are described that tackle the problems of larger geography classes and more students. Each is set out according to a common format. The introduction sets these UK innovations in the particular context of developments in North American higher education and in the wider context of control and independence strategies for dealing with higher student: staff ratios
