  • Keynes, Seers and Economic Development

    Open AccessHans W Singer, Hans SingerARTICLEIDS Bulletin2017

    There is no need to repeat here what was said at the time of Dudley Seers' death about the great loss of a friend and source of inspiration. Now the time has come to take a little distance and try to appraise his contribution to thinking about development. Perhaps the best way I can think of trying to do this is by relating his work and thinking to that of John Maynard Keynes

  • Food Aid

    William Diebold, Hans W Singer et al.ARTICLEForeign Affairs1988

    Food aid has played a key role in responding to the extreme poverty and disasters afflicting millions of people in the developing world. It is at the centre of much political discussion, both nationally and internationally, and there have been notable successes, yet there is doubt and criticism about the appropriateness of food aid and confusion about the deep-rooted problems which perpetuate these calamities. Is food aid doing more harm than goo…

  • Some problems of emergency food aid for sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessHans W Singer, Hans SingerARTICLEIDS Bulletin1985Cited by: 1

    Nobody feels happy about the way SSA emergencies have been handled. Doubts extend from whether these could have been prevented or mitigated by timely action to using the potential of food aid as a developmental rather than an emergency tool. This article stresses the need to develop more timely and coordinated early warning systems, and clearly demarcated spheres of responsibility between food aid donors, international agencies and NGOs. It sugge…

    Open AccessHans W Singer, Hans SingerARTICLEIDS Bulletin1984References: 2

    The Singer?Prebisch thesis that there is an inherent bias in international trade against the interests of developing countries was the intellectual mainspring for the foundation of UNCTAD. The setting up of an organisation for the management of international trade to complement the Bretton Woods institutions was acceptable to the international community because of the spread since the 1930s of Keynesian economic ideas.
