    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating' adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding o f the dissertation.

  • Russia and the IMF: a Sordid Tale of Moral Hazard
    Russia and the IMF: A Sordid Tale of Moral Hazard STEFAN HEDLUND T he first summer of the new millennium was marked by renewed controversy around the issue of Russia's relation to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). As Swiss prosecutors pressed on with their probes into alleged Russian money laundering, suspicions again carne to the fore that billions of dollars of IMF funds intended to support the rutile had been illicitly diverted via a maze of accounts in Western banks, notably the scandal-ridden Bank of New York. Although allegations of this type constitute a serious embarrassment to those concerned, there appears to be little danger of anyone's actually having to accept personal blame. Given the massive amounts of money involved, the investigations are likely to drag on for many years, as are the debates on what really happened. But few if any significant truths or admissions of guilt are likely to come on record. There is, quite simply, too much high-level politics involved for truth or justice to prevail. However, there may be some benefit in mapping, as far as possible, the story of IMF involvement in Russia, how it unfolded, and how it was brought to such an embarrassing end. 1 argue that there have been significant problems of moral hazard involved that should have been taken into account from the outset. The merits of the argument should be sought in a different direction from sim- ply looking for the trail of a few billion dollars that are missing. At stake is the very essence of Western relations to Russia, at a crucial point in that country's development.

  • Russian Capital Flight, Economic Reforms, and U.S
    Order Code RL30394 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Russian Capital Flight, Economic Reforms, and U.S. Interests: An Analysis Updated March 10, 2000 -name redacted- Specialist in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division -name redacted- Senior Specialist in Post-Soviet Economics Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Russian Capital Flight, Economic Reforms, and U.S. Interests: An Analysis Summary Russian capital flight is a longstanding problem with very negative consequences for the Russian economy. Authoritative studies estimate Russian capital flight to have totaled $150 billion from 1992-1999. Recent reports of Russian money laundering and other financial scandals involving the Russian Central Bank, the Bank of New York, other commercial banks, and even former President Yeltsin’s household involve forms of capital flight and have drawn greater attention to the problem. They have been the subjects of recent Congressional hearings and have focused the attention of Members of Congress and others on U.S. interests in Russia. Some legislation has been proposed as a result of concern over the these scandals and Russian capital flight. Capital flight deprives the Russian economy of critical financial resources that could be used for investment, tax revenues, restructuring pensions, and other social security programs. More importantly, capital flight indicates a lack of confidence by Russian and foreign investors and residents in the Russian ruble, in the Russian financial system, and more generally in the Russian economy itself. Capital flight is a sign that Russia’s transition to a market economy continues to be incomplete.

    A. DAS DEUTSCHE INSTITUT FÜR WISSENSCHAFTLICHE PÄDAGOGIK IN DER WEIMARER REPUBLIK I. DIE GRÜNDUNG DES INSTITUTS IM UMFELD DER KATHOLISCHEN LEHRERVERBÄNDE 1. MOTIVATION UND PLANUNG EINER KATHOLISCHEN »LEHR- UND FORSCHUNGSANSTALT« Wann und wo erstmals die Idee zur Gründung eines Instituts für wissenschaftliche Pädagogik aufkam, lässt sich mit letzter Sicherheit nicht rekonstruieren. Allein die Tatsache, dass sie im Umkreis der beiden, nach Geschlechtern getrennten, katholischen Lehrerverbände entstand, geht zweifellos aus den Quellen hervor1. Ob die Wiege des DIP aber im Verein katholischer deutscher Lehrerinnen (VkdL) oder im Katholischen Lehrerverband des Deutschen Reiches (KLVdDR) stand, muss offen bleiben. Beide Varianten sind überliefert. So mahnte etwa die Vor- sitzende des VkdL, Elisabeth Mleinek2, im Jahre 1962, nicht zu vergessen, dass die Idee des DIP ursprünglich von der damaligen Vereinsvorsitzenden Maria Schmitz3 »stammt und daß sie dessen Gründung in Verbindung mit dem Ka- tholischen Lehrerverband ermöglichte«4. In den Darstellungen aus dem Umfeld des Katholischen Lehrerverbands und in den Selbstdarstellungen des DIP hin- gegen werden stets die männlichen katholischen Lehrer als Urheber des DIP betrachtet. Schon vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg, auf der Versammlung des KLVdDR in Essen 1914, sei der Plan entstanden, eine eigene »pädagogische Akademie« zur Lehrerfortbildungsarbeit zu errichten. Die Umsetzung dieser Idee sei jedoch 1 Zu den katholischen Lehrerverbänden vgl.
