  • The Sovereign Wealth Fund Response
    The International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IFSWF) is a voluntary organisation of sovereign wealth funds. It is committed to working together and strengthening its activities through dialogue, research and self-assessment. IFSWF was formed in 2009 by a group of state-owned international investors from around the world. The Forum’s aim is to maintain an open and stable investment climate by setting and following a set of principles and practices, known as the Santiago Principles, which address issues around institutional governance and risk management. Today, helping members implement the Santiago Principles remains the foundation of the IFSWF’s activity. IFSWF represents sovereign wealth funds from all corners of the globe, with a variety of mandates and at various stages of development. As a result, the Forum’s focus has evolved. In addition to encouraging ongoing commitment to the Santiago Principles, the Forum undertakes research, peer assistance and holds workshops and seminars to help members enhance their investment capabilities.

  • Welfare Reforms in Post-Soviet States: a Comparison
    WELFARE REFORMS IN POST-SOVIET STATES: A COMPARISON OF SOCIAL BENEFITS REFORM IN RUSSIA AND KAZAKHSTAN by ELENA MALTSEVA A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Elena Maltseva (2012) Welfare Reforms in Post-Soviet States: A Comparison of Social Benefits Reform in Russia and Kazakhstan Elena Maltseva Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto (2012) Abstract: Concerned with the question of why governments display varying degrees of success in implementing social reforms, (judged by their ability to arrive at coherent policy outcomes), my dissertation aims to identify the most important factors responsible for the stagnation of social benefits reform in Russia, as opposed to its successful implementation in Kazakhstan. Given their comparable Soviet political and economic characteristics in the immediate aftermath of Communism’s disintegration, why did the implementation of social benefits reform succeed in Kazakhstan, but largely fail in Russia? I argue that although several political and institutional factors did, to a certain degree, influence the course of social benefits reform in these two countries, their success or failure was ultimately determined by the capacity of key state actors to frame the problem and form an effective policy coalition that could further the reform agenda despite various political and institutional obstacles and socioeconomic challenges. In the case of Kazakhstan, the successful implementation of the social benefits reform was a result of a bold and skillful endeavour by Kazakhstani authorities, who used the existing conditions to justify the reform initiative and achieve the reform’s original objectives.
