    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS Working Paper Bretton Woods II and the Emerging Economies: Lazarus, Phoenix, or Humpty Dumpty? by Arslan Razmi Working Paper 2009-02 Revised version, April 2009 UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Bretton Woods II and the Emerging Economies: Lazarus, Phoenix, or Humpty Dumpty? Arslan Razmi 824 Thompson Hall, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003 April 8, 2009 Abstract Several studies have commented on the emergence of a new inter- national monetary system in the post-Asian crisis years. The current international …nancial crisis has, however, put Bretton Woods II under considerable strain. This paper analyzes the sustainability of the pre- crisis order from an emerging country perspective. A simple framework in which agents have a choice between …nancial and real assets is constructed in order to explore possible consequences of the shocks that emerging economies are currently experiencing. Stock and ‡ow implications are analyzed. Assuming that recent events would have reinforced monetary authorities’desire to maintain an adequate cushion of reserves while pre- venting exchange rate volatility, we …nd that the response to most shocks would involve running continuous current account surpluses, that is, a continuation of a crucial aspect of Bretton Woods II. Given political and economic constraints, is such a continuation feasible? A preliminary ex- ploration raises serious doubts and skims alternatives.

  • Digital Fortress Dan Brown Reviewed By: Justin 15 Star Teen Book Reviewer of Be the Star You Are! Charity
    Digital Fortress Dan Brown Reviewed by: Justin 15 Star Teen Book Reviewer of Be the Star You Are! Charity www.bethestaryouare.org Digital Fortress is a science fiction book about TRANSLATR, a code in the NSA that, if released, would carry massive implications for national security and US intelligence. The code is written by Tankando, a former NSA employee who felt that the NSA’s intrusions into the private lives of citizens were unjustified. When people in the NSA attempt to break it, they find that it is impossible to break. The NSA hires Susan Fletcher, a cryptographer (expert in coding/decoding), to locate a password that would allow the NSA to stop TRANSLATR. Throughout the plot, Susan encounters various complications that prevent her discovery of the code, including the death of Tankando. This was one of the best science fiction books I have read. Suspenseful cliffhangers throughout the novel kept my eyes glued after every chapter. My favorite parts of the book were definitely the plot twists, which were abundant. The best surprise was a revelation about the person who created TRANSLATR. However, I cannot tell you all of the surprises; you will have to read the book to find out! On the other hand, the book was not without faults. Some of the information presented about cryptology and the NSA weren’t entirely accurate. If you’re especially interested in those fields, the book may not be the best source. However, the slight inaccuracies don’t take away from the plot. In addition, the various perspectives in the book were sometimes difficult to follow, especially if you read the book in many sittings.

  • Responses to Agrarian Transition in Central Asia Reaktionen Auf Die Agrartransformation in Zentralasien
    Responses to Agrarian Transition in Central Asia Reaktionen auf die Agrartransformation in Zentralasien Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Agrarwissenschaften (Dr. agr.) der Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät III Agrar und Ernährungswissenschaften, Geowissenschaften und Informatik der Martin Luther Universität Halle Wittenberg vorgelegt von Frau Nozilakhon Mukhamedova Geb. am 05.08.1982 in Moskau (Russland) Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Martin Petrick Prof. Dr. Kristof Van Assche Eröffnung: 25.03.2019 Verteidigung: 15.07.2019 Halle 2019 Abstract For nearly three decades, the Central Asian countries have been undergoing transition. The common goal of diversion from the Soviet political and economic system has been less prominent recently. The new challenge is how to build further a development path which depends not only on decisions of speed or content of reforms, but also on how these reforms were accepted and responded to by rural actors, what were the consequences and how they interacted with other socio- economic, historical and cultural factors. It is important to consider not only whether reforms reached their direct recipients, but also how other actors, institutions or contexts influenced, interacted and produced changes. The motivation of the dissertation is driven by various responses of rural societies to agrarian transition, which we find carry common institutional patterns. The research presented in this dissertation aims at understanding whether agrarian reforms rely on formal institutions or were adversely/positively affected by informal ones or rule of power. We address this question through describing and comparing cases of institutional changes in the agrarian sector of three economies in transition: Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. We assume that historical experiences, policy and power legacies can frame agrarian institutions and actions as well as behaviors of rural dwellers.
