The Organisation Matters
After Karimov and Nazarbayev
Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have new leaders for the first time since 1989: Shavkat Mirziyoyev as Uzbek president and Kassym-Jomart Tokayev as Kazakh president. This article uses a theoretical framework based on the literatures of leadership change and political succession while overlaying this literature with the type of economic policies followed by each former leader to analyse the political and economic transitions in these countries. Mirziyoye…
The Lagarde Effect
This paper uses a theoretical framework drawing on the literatures of feminist institutionalists and the literature on expertise provided by IOs to examine two areas in the IMF that we might expect to see change under a female Managing Director: increased gender equity among the professional and managerial staff economists at the IMF, and increases in programmes designed to improve women’s economic opportunities through the development of policie…
Ad hoc machinery in debt restructuring? Rethinking the lock-in of institutional agreements
Determinants of developing country debt
Programmes designed to alleviate developing country debt have been implemented by bilateral, commercial and multilateral creditors and sovereign debt has been restructured under Paris Club negotiations. These strategies have not been very successful at reducing the debt levels of developing countries, in part because they continue to receive export credit insurance facilities through export credit agencies (ecas). The purpose of this paper is to …
Factoring Gender into Economic Development
Rethinking Poverty through the Eyes of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank
This essay investigates factors that caused shifts in the policies of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank which culminated in new frameworks for poverty alleviating initiatives. The introduction of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC) in 1996 as well as the subsequent broadening and expanding of this program into the Enhanced HIPC Initiative coupled with the implementation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Pa…
A Critical Look at Globalization
The cover of Globalization and International Political Economy: The Politics of Alternative Futures features two pictures. The first picture shows Paul Wolfowitz, the former President of the World Bank; the second picture is a landscape of Hong Kong that shows the disparities in life between those who inhabit the city's downtown high-rise buildings and those who inhabit its shabby apartments. The fact that Paul Wolfowitz is no longer President of…
Divergent paths, divergent outcomes
This article compares two transition economies that have diverged in their progress on important economic reform areas and then seeks to link these differences to their resulting levels of investment and business. For this study, interviews were conducted with firm representatives that had invested or conducted business in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in order to determine the areas of reform that were the most important for their investment and bus…
The State
Miguel Glatzer and Dietich Rueschemeyer's edited volume Globalization and the Future of the Welfare State will hopefully be a precursor to future volumes in international relations that seriously address the interdependence of domestic politics and globalization. The purpose of the book is to critically investigate two competing hypotheses about globalization and its effects on the development of welfare policies. It does this primarily through t…
In Defense of Globalization
Back to the USSR
In October 2003, Uzbekistan finally ended its multiple exchange rate system and agreed to complete currency convertibility of the current account. The country had maintained a distorted exchange ra
