Opening Address by ADB President Takehiko Nakao at the 50th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors in Yokohama, Japan on 6 May 2017 Good morning. Your Imperial Highness, The Crown Prince of Japan; ADB Governors; distinguished guests; ladies and gentlemen: It is my privilege to join the Honorable Minister Taro Aso, Chair of the Board of Governors, in welcoming all of you to the 50th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank, here in the City of Yokohama. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to His Imperial Highness for honoring us with his presence. Japan has always been a steadfast supporter of ADB. It is ADB’s largest shareholder and the biggest contributor to the Asian Development Fund, ADB’s concessional window for poorer countries. It has also contributed to major trust funds for poverty reduction and scholarships. Japan has provided important ideas about development and shared its experiences. Yokohama represents a spirit of openness and innovation. Yokohama, in 1859, was one of the first ports opened to foreign trade, when Japan ended its isolationist policy of more than 200 years. More recently, Yokohama has been championing ideas of cleaner, greener, and more livable cities, and comprehensive disaster risk management, both of which ADB is also promoting. We have about 6,000 participants registered for this Annual Meeting. This is the largest participation in the history of ADB. On behalf of ADB, I would like to convey our most sincere gratitude to the Government and people of Japan, the City of Yokohama, and Mayor Fumiko Hayashi for their strong support and warm hospitality. 50 Years' History As we commemorate ADB’s 50th anniversary, we have just published our 50-year history book. I would like to share some of my thoughts about our history. When ADB was established in 1966, the Asia and Pacific region was defined by poverty. One of the most important challenges at that time was how to feed the region’s large and growing population. Agriculture was a priority sector for operations in ADB’s initial years. Half a century later, Asia accounts for one-third of global GDP, and it contributes to more than half the world’s economic growth. The region’s rapid development has reduced poverty and raised the living standards of people. ADB has been a reliable partner in this remarkable transformation of Asia. Before ADB was established, many ideas about creating a new development bank for Asia were proposed by policy makers, scholars, and the business community across Asia. ADB was created through the collective wishes and efforts of people within and outside the region. Mr. Nyun from Myanmar, Executive Secretary of ECAFE (UN Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East), hosted initial preparatory meetings in Bangkok. A young Filipino lawyer, Mr. Florentino Feliciano, helped write the ADB Charter. A former World Bank president and investment banker from the US, Mr. Eugene Black, gave good advice. 1 And Mr. Takeshi Watanabe, a former vice-minister of finance from Japan with rich experience in international finance, played a central role in establishing ADB. He became the first ADB President. In my view, ADB’s achievements over the past 50 years can be summarized in its three broad functions. First is combining finance and knowledge to support developing member countries. Today, there is much discussion about mobilizing private resources to finance large development needs. But I would like to emphasize that ADB, itself, was created to mobilize private resources from global capital markets. Asia was desperately short of capital at the time of ADB’s establishment. By adhering to sound banking principles and establishing a strong credit profile, in 1969 ADB successfully issued its first bond in Deutschmark in Germany. ADB was the first international entity to issue yen-denominated bonds in Japan in 1970. That was the start of the “samurai” bond market. In the past 50 years, ADB has provided about $270 billion of loans and grants, based on a cumulative $7 billion of paid-in capital contributions from 67 members, and $30 billion of contributions from 34 members to the Asian Development Fund. When I visit developing member countries in the region, I always find that ADB is welcomed not only because of our financing, but also because of our knowledge and the expertise that ADB has gained through our operations across the region. In addition to a wide range of new technologies and ideas in infrastructure and social sector projects, ADB has introduced ways to care about the environmental and social impacts of projects in designing and implementing them. The second major contribution of ADB is the promotion of good policies. Over the years, Asian countries have adopted prudent macroeconomic policies and open trade and investment regimes, as well as strong investment in infrastructure and education, all underpinned by clear long-term visions. I believe these policies have provided a basis for rapid growth in Asian economies. ADB has been supporting good policies through high-level dialogue with state leaders and ministers, technical assistance, capacity building, and policy-based budget support loans. Based on intensive discussions with the authorities, ADB has also provided emergency loans when members were hit by crises, such as the oil crisis in the 1970s, the Asian financial crisis in the 1990s, and the global financial crisis more recently. The third achievement of ADB is fostering regional cooperation and friendship. ADB itself was created by the idea of regional cooperation in Asia and the Pacific. Over the years, ADB has promoted subregional cooperation frameworks in Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and the Greater Mekong subregion. Australia and New Zealand, ADB’s founding developed members in the region, have been strong supporters of initiatives for Pacific island countries. Partnerships with non-regional member countries in North America and Europe have been critical. They have enhanced ADB’s financing capacity and contributed to concessional operations. Non-regional members have also provided many new ideas about development. The motto of the first ADB President Watanabe was “listening to countries’ views before telling them what to do”. I am confident that his approach of respecting countries’ ownership and carefully attending to countries’ needs remains an integral part of ADB’s culture. 2 The Year in Review Now, let me report to you on our accomplishments in 2016. Two years ago at our annual meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan, I pledged to build a Stronger, Better, and Faster bank. We are making solid progress in achieving that goal. Last year, we maintained good momentum in scaling up our operations. Total ADB operations last year, including cofinancing and technical assistance, reached $31.7 billion. Our own loan and grant approvals reached a record high of $17.5 billion, a 9% increase from the previous year. Out of this, ADB’s lending and equity investment to the private sector was $2.5 billion. Our climate finance, for mitigation and adaptation, reached $3.7 billion, up from $2.6 billion in 2015. In addition, cofinancing with our public and private partners increased to $13.9 billion. This includes our first two cofinanced projects with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank for roads in Pakistan and a natural gas project in Bangladesh. The scaling up of our operations has become possible due to our innovative approach of merging the ordinary capital resources balance sheet and the Asian Development Fund lending operations, which became effective in January this year. The Asian Development Fund, which is now devoted exclusively to grant operations, will enhance ADB’s support to poorest countries and fragile and conflict affected countries. Regional Economic Outlook I would like to talk briefly about the economic outlook for Asia and the Pacific. Developing Asia has been growing at about 6% annually, even after the global financial crisis.

  • ABSTRACT CLARK, TIMOTHY P. the Sea Is Empty. Fisheries and the Global Seafood Sector in the Age of Capital. a Socio-Historical A
    ABSTRACT CLARK, TIMOTHY P. The Sea is Empty. Fisheries and the Global Seafood Sector in the Age of Capital. A Socio-Historical Analysis. (Under the Direction of Dr. Stefano Longo). Within the broader sub-discipline of environmental sociology, more scholars have begun to focus on the socioecological dynamics of marine systems, coastal communities, and the seafood industry. Environmental sociologists refer to this waxing scholarship as marine sociology, or an area within environmental sociology that examines non-terrestrial socioecological problems (Longo and Clark 2016; Hannigan 2017). Increased attention towards marine issues and seafood systems is necessary because, for example, the ocean sustains food production, environmental stability, and economic security. Over the course of the 20th century, global fisheries underwent historic change due to substantive human driven withdrawals. Prior to the 20th century, many viewed the ocean as a limitless bounty of resources (Bolster 2012). However, within a period of a few decades following the Second World War, overfishing and biodiversity loss have occurred at levels that now threaten global ocean system stability (Clausen and Clark 2005). Indeed, while not all fish populations are overfished, few are what the United Nations Food and Agriculture Association (FAO) would call under-fished, or fished at a level that signals good prospects for long-term sustainability (FAO 2018). As writer and journalist Anna Badkhen (2018: 3) explains in her account of Senegalese fishers: “Entire trips go by during which the captain stares at the limp arms of his crew. The sea is broken, fishermen say. The sea is empty.” It is likely that Atlantic menhaden fishers across the United States’ Eastern seaboard issued similar frustrations as their catch rates plummeted in the late 19th century and, once-again and more damningly, in the mid-20th century.

York Core Member Vallon Burris Core Member Daniel Buck Institutional Representative and Scott L. Pratt Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded June 2017. ii © 2017 Intan Suwandi iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Intan Suwandi Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology June 2017 Title: Back to Production: Labor-Value Commodity Chains and the Imperialist World Economy. Despite the complexities and decentralization that characterize global supply chains in today’s world economy, imperialist relations of exchange continue to prevail, due to the fact that the differences between wages of North and South is greater than the difference of their productivities. This dissertation examines the global exploitation of labor that mostly occurs in the global South, as a form of such imperialist relations, particularly under the domination of multinational firms emanating primarily from the core of the system.
