COMMUNITY and LOCAL DEVELOPMENT: Building Change Strategies for Places COMMUNITY AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT: Building Change Strategies for Places Compendium of case studies on local development from the Summer School 2014 - 2016 September 2019 EAFIT Social About the OECD The OECD is a multi-disciplinary inter-governmental organisation of 36 member countries which engages in its work an increasing number of non-members from all regions of the world. The Organisation’s core mission today is to help governments work together towards a stronger, cleaner, fairer global economy. Through its network of 250 specialised committees and working groups, the OECD provides a setting where governments compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice, and co- ordinate domestic and international policies. More information: www.oecd.org. About CFE The Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities (CFE) provides comparative statistics, analysis and capacity building. It helps local and national actors work together to unleash the potential of entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), promote inclusive and sustainable regions and cities, boost local job creation, and implement sound tourism policies. It serves the Regional Policy Development Committee (RDPC) and its three Working Parties on Urban Policy, Rural Policy and Territorial Indicators, the Working Party on SMEs and Entrepreneurship (WPSMEE), the Tourism Committee and its Working Party on Tourism Statistics and the Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Directing Committee.

Different approaches to local development strategies should be considered opportunities, rather than barriers, as they are the groundwork for the unshakable bond between territories and communities. The design of multi-dimensional and integrated development strategies requires capabilities to make the most of the human, environmental and institutional resources at hand. This territorial capital is the local endowment policy makers can leverage to face global challenges and build resilient economies and communities. The need to build capacities for better and more integrated policies across OECD member and non-member countries is a core activity of the OECD Trento Centre for Local Development (hereafter the OECD Trento Centre). To serve the global community of local development practitioners, a Summer School for Community and Local Development in Latin America (hereafter the Summer School) was developed and builds on peer learning processes. The Summer School was launched in 2010, as a result of the collaboration among the OECD Trento Centre, the Centre for International Cooperation – CCI, the EAFIT University of Medellin (Colombia), the Autonomous Province of Trento and the Trentino Federation of Cooperatives. The aim of the Summer School is to develop capacities of policy makers, NGOs, and other local stakeholders for the promotion of local development, i.e. promoting the understanding and recognition by both public and private actors of a territory’s principle factors that contribute to local development strategies. Such strategies are further considered to be the basis for any transformation process aimed at guaranteeing better lives for local communities. The Summer School has become a renowned annual event for policy makers and practitioners from across Latin America to meet in the Trentino region and discuss innovative policies and projects across continents for community development. The capacity building process of the Summer School is articulated around concrete local development case studies submitted by participants. Their experiences provide a rich base of good practices, as well as pitfalls to avoid. The Summer School, which is now awarded as the EAFIT University’s International Degree in Local Development and Territorial Capital, enables Latin American professionals working in development projects to conduct a review of the strategies for change implemented in their territories. It is a multidisciplinary approach meant to help participants develop new capabilities and equip them with the skills they need to confirm, adapt or change their work practices when they go back to their places of origin. The present Compendium is a collection of 49 selected cases building on the experiences of 270 local development professionals from Latin America and the Caribbean attending the first nine editions of the Summer School. This report documents, systematises and capitalises on those experiences, stemming from the real and tangible initiatives in which participants directly took part.

  • Complete Autumn 2011 Update
    Quarterly Update: U.S. Businesses Are Discovering the “V” in CIVETS Autumn 2011 Summary The Vietnam opportunity in the 3 rd quarter attracted more attention from global investors, who now have a catchy acronym to go with their enthusiasm: CIVETS (Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey, and South Africa) is replacing BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) as the promising new frontier. Vietnam belongs in this emerging group because of its demographics (young, ambitious, entrepreneurial); its political and social stability; its sustained pace of growth; and its emergence as a manufacturing hub. For early adopters with long-term objectives, these strengths trump concerns about high inflation for 2011 and the related issues of currency instability, slower growth, and imbalances in trade and government spending. 3rd Quarter Developments in Vietnam Underlining the Vietnam opportunity are reports that surfaced in summer and early fall. Among them: • Commodities Exports . Vietnam continues growing as a dominant global trader of commodities – especially coffee, rice, and cashews. Nestle plans a $270 million coffee factory near Ho Chi Minh City, and intends to purchase 30,000 tons of coffee annually from 16,000 farmers. Later this fall, Vietnamese farmers are expected to harvest a record 1.3 million tons of coffee (worth $3 billion) – enough to lower prices of Robusta beans on the global market. Also, Vietnam is positioned to overtake Thailand as top exporter of rice, the staple that feeds almost half the world. Vietnam may exceed 8 million tons of rice exports in the coming year. • Green Technology Leadership. Vietnam is positioning itself as a destination for clean energy and biotechnology investors.

  • BRICS Countries Challenge to the World Economy New Trends
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Economics and Finance 8 ( 2014 ) 605 – 613 1st International Conference 'Economic Scientific Research - Theoretical, Empirical and Practical Approaches', ESPERA 2013 BRICS countries challenge to the world economy new trends Irina Gabriela Radulescua*, Mirela Panaita, Catalin Voicab aPetroleum and Gas University from Ploiesti, B-dul Bucuresti, No39, 100680, Romania bThe Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, 010961 Romania Abstract This paper analyzes the importance of the BRICS group as representatives of emerging countries in the global economy. It is worth noting that the financial crisis had no strong effect on the BRICS group and it had a much better economic performance than developed countries. The main factors that led to the economic expansion of the group were an increased input of factors, and enormous scales of population and resources. For example, Brazil and Russia are mainly based on huge reserves of mineral resources and speculations made in international markets. China has an advantage of cheap labor and resources at low prices. India is also based on low-cost workforce. And last but not least, all the BRICS countries, except Brazil, show very high rates of investment. The current concern is to estimate whether the BRICS countries will have the same upward trend given the weakness identified within them: the high level of corruption, political different ideologies, over exposure to commodities etc. ©© 20120144 The Authors.

ABSTRACT Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) is well known as an eighteenth-century industrialist, the founder of Soho Manufactory and the steam-engine business of Boulton and Watt. Less well known are his scientific and technical abilities in the field of metallurgy and coining, and his role in setting up the Soho Mint. The intention of this thesis is to focus on the coining activities of Matthew Boulton from 1787 until 1809, and to examine the key role he played in the modernisation of money. It is the result of an Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded collaboration with Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, where, after examination of their extensive collection of coins, medals, tokens and dies produced at the Soho Mint, .research was used to produce a catalogue.
