  • Biography of Guy Ryder, 10Th ILO Director-General
    Biography of Guy Ryder, 10th ILO Director-General Born in Liverpool (UK) in 1956, Guy Ryder studied Social and Political Sciences at the University of Cambridge and Latin American Studies at the University of Liverpool. He speaks French and Spanish as well as his mother tongue, English. He started his professional career in 1981 as assistant at the International Department of the Trade Union Congress in London. From 1985, he held the position of Secretary of the Industry Trade Section of the International Federation of Commercial, Clerical, Professional and Technical Employees (FIET) in Geneva. In 1988, Guy Ryder became Assistant Director and – from 1993 - Director of the Geneva office of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU). Guy Ryder first joined the International Labour Organization in 1998 as Director of the Bureau for Workers’ Activities and, from 1999, as Director of the Office of the Director-General.

  • Engineering Growth: Innovative Capacity and Development in the Americas∗
    Engineering Growth: Innovative Capacity and Development in the Americas∗ William F. Maloneyy Felipe Valencia Caicedoz July 1, 2016 Abstract This paper offers the first systematic historical evidence on the role of a central actor in modern growth theory- the engineer. We collect cross-country and state level data on the population share of engineers for the Americas, and county level data on engineering and patenting for the US during the Second Industrial Revolution. These are robustly correlated with income today after controlling for literacy, other types of higher order human capital (e.g. lawyers, physicians), demand side factors, and instrumenting engineering using the Land Grant Colleges program. We support these results with historical case studies from the US and Latin America. A one standard deviation increase in engineers in 1880 accounts for a 16% increase in US county income today, and patenting capacity contributes another 10%. Our estimates also help explain why countries with similar levels of income in 1900, but tenfold differences in engineers diverged in their growth trajectories over the next century. Keywords: Innovative Capacity, Human Capital, Engineers, Technology Diffusion, Patents, Growth, Development, History. JEL: O11,O30,N10,I23 ∗Corresponding author Email: [email protected].

  • How Nations Learn Praise for the Book
    How Nations Learn Praise for the Book ‘The chapters examine how industrial latecomers have crafted strategic and pragmatic policy frameworks to unleash the universal passion for learning into business organ- izational practices that drive production capability development and foster innovation dynamics. The transformational experiences described in the book offer a multitude of ways in which learning is organized and applied to advance a nation’s productive structures and build competitive advantage in the global economy.’ Michael H Best, Professor Emeritus, Author of How Growth Really Happens: The Making of Economic Miracles through Production, Governance and Skills, Winner of the 2018 Schumpeter Prize ‘The analysis of development and catching-up has finally shifted away from sur- real problems of ‘optimal’ market-driven allocation of resources, toward the processes of learning and capability accumulation. This is an important contribution in this perspec- tive: And yet another nail into the coffinofthe“Washington Consensus”.’ Giovanni Dosi, Professor of Economics, Scuola Superiore Sant’ Anna, Pisa, Italy ‘Industrialisation has always been fundamental to sustained economic growth. It separates the world into high and low-income economies. To create inclusive pros- perity, we urgently need to understand How Nations Learn. State-supported innovation is not only cardinal for catch-up, but also to abate climate breakdown (through crowding in new businesses, nurturing experimentation, and ensuring public benefits). By studying the economic history of technological advancement in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, this book makes a powerful case for industrial policy.’ Dr Alice Evans, Lecturer in International Development, King’s College London ‘How Nations Learn is a book based on big ideas.

  • The Transformation of Party-Union Linkages in Argentine Peronism, 1983–1999*
    FROM LABOR POLITICS TO MACHINE POLITICS: The Transformation of Party-Union Linkages in Argentine Peronism, 1983–1999* Steven Levitsky Harvard University Abstract: The Argentine (Peronist) Justicialista Party (PJ)** underwent a far- reaching coalitional transformation during the 1980s and 1990s. Party reformers dismantled Peronism’s traditional mechanisms of labor participation, and clientelist networks replaced unions as the primary linkage to the working and lower classes. By the early 1990s, the PJ had transformed from a labor-dominated party into a machine party in which unions were relatively marginal actors. This process of de-unionization was critical to the PJ’s electoral and policy success during the presidency of Carlos Menem (1989–99). The erosion of union influ- ence facilitated efforts to attract middle-class votes and eliminated a key source of internal opposition to the government’s economic reforms. At the same time, the consolidation of clientelist networks helped the PJ maintain its traditional work- ing- and lower-class base in a context of economic crisis and neoliberal reform. This article argues that Peronism’s radical de-unionization was facilitated by the weakly institutionalized nature of its traditional party-union linkage. Although unions dominated the PJ in the early 1980s, the rules of the game governing their participation were always informal, fluid, and contested, leaving them vulner- able to internal changes in the distribution of power. Such a change occurred during the 1980s, when office-holding politicians used patronage resources to challenge labor’s privileged position in the party. When these politicians gained control of the party in 1987, Peronism’s weakly institutionalized mechanisms of union participation collapsed, paving the way for the consolidation of machine politics—and a steep decline in union influence—during the 1990s.

  • Pak-Turkey Trade Be Taken to High Level: Imran
    4th January, 2019 Pak-Turkey trade be taken to high level: Imran ANKARA: Prime Minister Imran Khan Thursday said it was high time that Pakistan and Turkey should take their bilateral trade to a high level, citing Pakistan’s ideal geo-strategic location and its huge potential for investment in infrastructure and tourism. Addressing the Turkish businessmen at a business forum organised by the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) here, the prime minister said that Pakistan was a virgin territory as a lot of trade areas had not yet been exploited and hardly five percent of total mineral reserves could yet be explored. TOBB is the highest legal entity in Turkey representing the private sector with 365 member associations from local chambers of commerce and industry. The prime minister is in Turkey on two-day official visit, at the invitation of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Prior to landing in Turkish capital, he visited Turkish city of Konya where he visited the tomb of renowned jurists and Islamic scholar Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi and laid a wreath at the grave. He is accompanied by a high level delegation including Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Finance Minister Asad Umar, Planning Minister Makhdoom Khusro Bakhtiar, Advisor on Trade Abdul Razak Dawood and Special Assistant to PM Zulfikar Bukhari. The prime minister said huge reserves of oil, gas, copper and coal were yet unexplored. He said as Pakistan was undertaking huge connectivity projects under China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the issue of huge distance impeding Pak-Turkish trade would be resolved.

  • Communiqué from the Urban 20 (U20)
    Communiqué from the Urban 20 (U20) October 2, 2020, Riyadh We, the Mayors of the undersigned cities, underscoring the interconnectedness of the world and our shared future, have gathered as the Urban 20 (U20) to call on the G20 Leaders to commit to our partnership in achieving equitable, carbon-neutral, inclusive and healthy societies. Under the U20 Riyadh’s chairmanship, U20 cities built on the strong foundation of the U20 Buenos Aires and Tokyo legacies to issue this Communiqué linking to the G20 priorities under the Saudi presidency, and with contributions from evidence-based task forces and a special working group on COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing social and economic crisis make this call even more urgent as cities and metropolitan areas, that lie at the heart of the G20’s vitality, are the epicenter of the crisis. Mayors, the principal champions of our communities’ aspirations, are on the frontline to deliver on COVID-19 recovery action plans across the G20, backed by scientific knowledge, inclusively building on technological and digital breakthroughs, while acknowledging humanity’s cultural and ethnic diversity. The recovery should not be a return to business as usual. Instead, investments must improve the welfare and resilience of our cities and communities, by addressing solidarity, re-investing in public health, and mitigating future threats, like the climate crisis. Climate action and biodiversity preservation can help accelerate economic recovery and enhance equity through new technologies and the creation of green jobs. These efforts will also drive wider benefits for people and businesses. Now is the time to devise visionary multilateral solutions and strengthen policy-making that fosters inclusive, sustainable, resilient and smart urbanization, protects the rights of citizens and the foundations of local democracy, in support of prosperity and well-being framed by key global agreements.
