Africa and Development in the 21St Century David Dorward 4
Africa and Develop111ent in the 21st Century 1ll The Network tttt The Australian Development Studies Network seeks to provide a forum for discussion and debate of development issues, and to keep people in the field up-to-date with developments and events, publications, etc. The Network does this through its publications program and by conducting or co-sponsoring seminars, symposia and conferences. The Network produces three publications: Development Bulletin is the Network's quarterly Newsletter. It includes short articles (normally 1,000 to 2,000 words); reports on conferences and seminars; announcements of forthcoming events; details of courses, research and work related to development or development studies; articles on the centres pursuing these activities; and information about development education materials, recent publications and other news. Briefing Papers address a wide variety of development-related issues. They are concise (normally 2,000 to 5,000 words) and accessible to the non-technical reader, and may include implications for Australia's foreign development assistance policy. The Register of Development Research & Expertise (2nd Edition, 1988) contains the names, institutions, research, project experience and publications of people in Australia who are working in development-related research or who have first-hand experience of Third World development issues. Their expertise covers a broad range of disciplines and geographical areas. The Register is indexed by name, institution, discipline, country of expertise and keywords. To obtain the Register, please send a cheque for A$25.00, made out to Bibliotech, to Bibliotech, ANU, Canberra, ACT0200. Correspondence You may have information you wish to share with others in the development field: conference announcements or reports, notices of new publications, information about the work of your centre or courses you offer, or you may wish to respond to articles or Briefing Papers.

Before the BUREAU OF OCEAN ENERGY MANAGEMENT U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Washington, D.C. In the Matter of Request for Feedback on BOEM’s Proposed BOEM 2018-0018 Path Forward for Future Offshore Renewable Energy Leasing on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf COMMENTS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN SUBMARINE CABLE ASSOCIATION Kent D. Bressie Susannah J. Larson HARRIS, WILTSHIRE & GRANNIS LLP 1919 M Street, N.W., Suite 800 Washington, D.C. 20036-3537 +1 202 730 1337 tel Counsel for the North American Submarine Cable Association 5 July 2018 To protect submarine cable infrastructure critical to the U.S. economy and U.S. national security, the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management (“BOEM”) should expressly account for existing and planned submarine cable systems in its development of a path forward for future renewable leasing offshore the United States Atlantic Coast. BOEM’s Office of Renewable Energy Programs (“OREP”) has already developed Guidelines for Information Requirements for a Renewable Energy Construction and Operations Plan (“COP Guidelines”), which directs renewable energy project developers to the North American Submarine Cable Association (“NASCA”) and its mapping resources as a first step in coordination. Because the COP Guidelines only come into play at the project planning phase, there is some limit to the protections such coordination can afford submarine cables. As BOEM performs a high-level assessment of factors to consider for lease locations on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (“OCS”), NASCA urges BOEM to include factors that account for existing submarine cable infrastructure. Renewable energy projects on the Atlantic OCS pose significant risks to submarine cable infrastructure.

Technology and the Geography of the Foreign Exchange Market
Working Paper Series Barry Eichengreen Cables, Sharks and Servers: Romain Lafarguette and Arnaud Mehl Technology and the Geography of the Foreign Exchange Market No 1889 / March 2016 Note: This Working Paper should not be reported as representing the views of the European Central Bank (ECB). The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the ECB Abstract We analyze the impact of technology on production and trade in services, focusing on the foreign exchange market. We identify exogenous technological changes by the connection of countries to submarine fiber- optic cables used for electronic trading, but which were not laid for purposes related to the foreign exchange market. We estimate the impact of cable connections on the share of offshore foreign exchange transactions. Cable connections between local markets and matching servers in the major financial centers lower the fixed costs of trading currencies and increase the share of currency trades occurring onshore. At the same time, however, they attenuate the effect of standard spatial frictions such as distance, local market liquidity, and restrictive regulations that otherwise prevent transactions from moving to the major financial centers. Our estimates suggest that the second effect dominates. Technology dampens the impact of spatial frictions by up to 80 percent and increases, in net terms, the share of offshore trading by 21 percentage points. Technology also has economically important implications for the distribution of foreign exchange transactions across financial centers, boosting the share in global turnover of London, the world’s largest trading venue, by as much as one-third.

How Diplomacy Can Strengthen Asia-Europe's Digital Connectivity
2.1. From Harmonising Cyberpolicies to Promoting Twiplomacy: How Diplomacy Can Strengthen Asia-Europe’s Digital Connectivity Jovan KURBALIJA1 Abstract Together Asia and Europe accommodate more than two billion Internet users, which accounts for about two-thirds of the global user base, and this number is still growing. With the ever-expanding number of users, the Internet drives global social and economic developments; social media is central to the lives of many Asians and Europeans and e-commerce is facilitating international and inter-regional economic linkages. At the same time, with the heightened dependence on the Internet, the risks of cyber threats have exponentially grown. How can Asian and European diplomats capture the benefits of the Internet-facilitated connections, while cooperating to ensure cybersecurity? This chapter provides an analysis of the digital connectivity between Asia and Europe, seen from a diplomatic perspective. After the introductory remarks, the first section addresses digital geoeconomics and geopolitics and provides an analysis of the impact of the Internet on the fast- changing political, social, and economic environment for diplomatic activities. The second section outlines the ways in which Asia and Europe deal with digital policy issues as an important pre-condition for more intensive digital connectivity. In particular, the analysis focuses on how the two regions address the main digital policy challenges, including the regulation of the Internet infrastructure, privacy and data governance, cybersecurity, and content policy. 1 The research was conducted with the help of Ms Barbara Rosen Jacobson, Research Assistant at DiploFoundation. Data- analysis was provided by Dr Goran Milovanovic, Data Scientist at DiploFoundation.
