Chronicles of Debt Crises Foretold
The debt crises looming in developing countries are being exacerbated by changing debt composition. Declining net foreign exchange earnings have worsened their predicament. As concessional development finance declined, many governments turned to riskier forms of borrowing from international capital markets. Concerted interest rate hikes are supposed to stem inflation; however, given that prices have mainly risen due to supply chain disruptions ca…

Dictators, Democrats and Development in Southeast Asia: Lessons for the Rest
Of the ten fastest growing economies since 1960, eight are in East Asia. As Haggard (2018) aptly demonstrates for Northeast Asia, two explanations account for this exceptional regional performance. On the one hand, neo-liberals committed to an Anglo-American night-watchman state (Krueger 1978; Bhagwati 1978; Edwards 1993; World Bank 1993; Pack and Saggi 2006) attribute performance to macroeconomic stability, provision of public goods, and opennes…
Globalization, imperialism and its discontents
Situating the questions of globalization and imperialism in recent world economic and social developments, this essay begins with a review of how use of the term “imperialism” evolved over the twentieth century. The more recent trend towards economic liberalization has had an international dimension closely associated with the growing use of the term globalization. Four economic dimensions of globalization are then considered: foreign direct inve…

Poor Poverty: The Impoverishment of Analysis, Measurement and Policies
This book, co-published with the UN's Dept of Economic and Social Affairs, offers a critical appraisal of the conventional measures and analysis of poverty as well as of poverty reduction policies. Despite greater efforts in reducing poverty since the early 1980s, poverty remains stubbornly high in many parts of the world. This collection argues that the mainstream perspectives on poverty and deprivation have contributed to considerable distortio…
Pathways Through Financial Crisis: Malaysia
Malaysia did not turn to the International Monetary Fund for assistance when pressure from the 1997-1998 East Asian financial crisis hit the country. The country was less vulnerable than its neighbors, not least because it had earlier imposed limits on foreign borrowing and prudential regulations and supervision of the banking sector. Although Malaysia's pathway through the 1997-1998 crisis included an orthodox adjustment program of the type the …
La liberalisation financiere internationale et la crise du developpement est-asiatique
This article critically explores the roots of the financial crisis of 1997 that tormented the East-Asian region and devalued the currencies and economic power of the second generation newly industrialised countries. It argues that despite the existence of such crisis in the same region in the past, the appropriate response to current problem lies elsewhere. Given that the market, which has become more and more self governing, lacks memory and the…
