Dear Readers,

For the first time the Hans Singer Memorial Lecture on Global Development will take place in Bonn on 18 May 2009. Herewith, the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) honours one of the most influential European development practitioner of the 20th century whose academic career started at the University of Bonn. Sir Hans Singer graduated from the Economics Department of the University of Bonn but being a Jew he had to fled the Nazi terror in 1933 before he could finish his dissertation. He continued his studies at the where he also attended courses of . After World War II, in 1947, he became an influential development scholar with the United Nations. His practice oriented contributions to development theories as well as his conceptual studies met with large-scale response.

During his time at the UN Hans Singer was a significant driver of establishing important organisations like UNICEF, UNDP and the . From 1969 until his death he joined the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) at the . His publication list with hundreds of entries shows his productivity and the scope of his academic interests. Presumably due to his own background, Hans Singer always stood up for social justice and human development as prior objectives of analysis and policy making.

Cooperation partners of the commemoration are the IDS and the Institute of Political Science and Sociology of the University of Bonn. The event will alternate between Bonn and Brighton on an annual basis. This year’s speaker will be Prof. of the . In his lecture he will be concerned with an early thesis of Singer, the Prebisch-Singer-Thesis which states, that the terms of trade for commodity exporting developing countries tend to deteriorate over time.

The Political Economy of Water and Sanitation

By Matthias Krause

According to recent estimates, around 6,000 people - mostly children under five - die every day from diseases caused by inappropriate water and sanitation (WS) services. Much of the academic and political debate surrounding this issue has focused on private sector participation. By shifting the attention towards the influence of governance, Krause examines the political and sectoral institutions that are essential for the provision of WS services. Utilizing data from 69 developing countries, Krause demonstrates that the level of democracy has a statistically significant positive impact on access to WS services and that low-quality governance of sub-national governments compromises the internal efficiency of providers and the widespread access to services. This book makes a critical contribution to the water and sanitation research and will help academics and policy-makers to rethink the way in which they deal with water issues.

Matthias Krause is an economist at the German Development Institute in Bonn, Germany. He has several years of research and working experience in Latin America (among others in Chile, Brazil and Colombia). His main research activities lie within the fields of private sector participation in infrastructure, political economy of regulation, and pri- vate sector development.

NEW TITLE FROM EDWARD ELGAR PUBLISHING

Towards Monetary and Financial Integration in East Asia Edited by Koichi Hamada, Tuntex Professor of Economics, Yale University, New Haven, US, Beate Reszat, Economist, Hamburg Ministry of Science and Research, Germany and Ulrich Volz, Senior Economist, German Development Institute, Bonn, Germany ‘Towards Monetary and Financial Integration in East Asia is an important book. East Asia, led by China, has been and will continue to be the largest, most rapidly growing region in the world. Major global imbalances persist, with East Asia in large surplus. Yet East Asian financial and monetary integration is only in the early stages of what will necessarily be a long-run process. These 14 essays by different authors address, in six Parts, fundamental long-run issues and prospects. These include the development of a regional financial architecture, liquidity provision and crisis management, surveillance mechanisms, exchange rate arrangements, currency baskets, an Asian Currency Unit, and ultimately even a single currency. The implications of the rise of China and the role of Japan underlie much of these analyses. However imperfect, the EU is the dominant relevant experience for East Asian financial and monetary integration. It is important to understand, as the authors do, that it took 47 years from the EU’s nascent founding to the establishment of the euro, and that economic integration has preceded political integration. This book importantly addresses such basic issues in this time frame and with an appreciation of the political economy difficulties of financial integration.’ – Hugh Patrick, Columbia University, US ‘The book edited by Professors Hamada, Reszat, and Volz gives a comprehensive overview of the current status and challenges of economic integration in East Asia. Monetary and financial integration in East Asia has proceeded gradually but steadily since the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98. The book as an authoritative cutting-edge collection of papers in respective topics brings the reader to the frontier of the literature.’ – Takatoshi Ito, University of Tokyo, Japan ‘The papers of this book ... offer a worthy exploration of a complex set of increasingly important issues and help deepen our understanding of a new financial architecture that might be emerging in East Asia.’ – From the preface by Professor Richard N. Cooper, Harvard University, US

This indispensable book provides a comprehensive analysis of monetary and financial integration in East Asia. It assesses the steps already taken toward financial integration and brings forward different proposals for future exchange rate arrangements in what has now become the world’s most dynamic region.
