Kiochos (Greece) TRANSITIONAL PROBLEMS IN SMALL PACIFIC AND CARIBBEAN ISLAND STATES L.A. DUHS IRMA ALONSO University of Queensland Florida International University 1. Introduction Common characteristics of small states include isolation, openness, vulnerability (both to natural disasters and to fluctuations in world markets), undiversified economies, poverty, and limited capacity. On the Commonwealth vulnerability index 26 of the 28 most vulnerable countries are small States –including six of the Pacific islands (Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu). Small states tend to be at a disadvantage in accessing foreign capital, and incur risk premia even when they implement sound policies. Significant differences nonetheless exist between and within groups of small island states. In the Pacific, for example, some are coral atolls (Kiribati, Tuvalu) while others have volcanic soils (Samoa). One thing the Pacific States have in common is poor economic performance. Over the last three decades their economic performance has been poor in absolute terms, as well as relative to island nations in the Caribbean and Africa. Several face problems of falling per capita incomes and consequent increases in social pressures (Chand, 1999). For the 1992-95 period, five Pacific Island countries recorded negative growth in per capita terms, while the rest –with the exception of Samoa and Fiji– recorded growth rates in 10 L. A. Duhs - Irma Alonso per capita GDP of less than 1 percent. In the years since 1995 political turmoil has furhter compounded problems in Fiji, the Solomon Islands and PNG. Many of the relevant indicators are at sub-Saharan African levels. The Caribbean case is different. The 13 small island States of the Caribbean have a significant head start over the 11 Pacific Island States in three respects: GDP per capita, HDI, and locational advantage given that they are in the geo-political backyard of the USA. With the exception of Haiti, the Caribbean countries may be classified as a well developing region with a GDP per capita of approximately $8,200, a literacy rate of 90 percent, and life expectancy over 73 years. In human development terms the achievements of these countries place 12 of them in the high and medium levels of human development (HDI), leaving Haiti as the only one with a low level of human development. These economies nonetheless need to pay attention to the changing macroeconomic structure, which has seen agriculture decline and the services sector become the main economic activity. Indeed many of the Caribbean states have experienced precipitate declines in their terms of trade in the last two decades and are themselves searching for alternatives to their reliance on traditional primary exports (Bardouille 2001). Accordingly, both groups of countries presently face significant transitional problems in the context of globalisation, altered trade and Aid arrangements, and the loss of reliance on traditional commodity exports. The Commonwealth Secretariat/World Band Joint Taskforce on Small States in fact concludes that “most small developing States face a risk of increased economic marginalisation in the context of trade liberalisation and globalisation.” (Taskforce 2000: 80). The Taskforce adds however that historically “On balance, there is no statistically significant difference in per capita incomes and in economic growth rates between large and small States, indicating that other factors have offset the inherent disadvantages of small States’ remoteness, small domestic markets, and public sector dominance of their economies” (Taskforce: 6). In this context a useful question to ask is how well does the Washington Consensus fit the circumstances of these states? Whereas the Washington Consensus emphasizes open markets, rapid privatization, stringent fiscal and monetary policy, extensive borrowing from foreign lenders, and a minimal role for the State in economic matters, Stiglitz and others criticise Aگ›ÔÓ OÈÎÔÓÔÌÈ΋˜ IÛÙÔÚ›·˜ / Archives of Economic History, XIV/1/2002 11 the “one size fits all” aspect of this Consensus for a failure to tailor policy reform to individual circumstance. While small states cannot divorce themselves from a changing world economy, they do have istitutional idiosyncrasies in many cases which make it unlikely that a “one size fits all” approach will be sufficient for them. Indeed Chand (1999) contends that the fact that several of the Pacific Island countries embarked on comprehensive public sector reforms in the recent past puts to the test the ‘Washington consensus’ on the role of the private sector in growth. To that extent, the much publicised coups in Fiji and in the Solomon Islands in 2000 provide a disappointing result for advocates of the “rationalist” approach of the Consensus, more especially since both these economies were apparently recovering well at the time political dissension derailed their economic policies and future prospects. In short, in contradistinction to orthodox theory and the Washington Consensus, institutionalists argue that at initial stages of transformation it is more important to first get the institutions or processes right than to get the prices

  • Up-To-The-Minute Market Report: Market and Submission Trends in Children’S Publishing
    UP-TO-THE-MINUTE MARKET REPORT: MARKET AND SUBMISSION TRENDS IN CHILDREN’S PUBLISHING Prepared for SCBWI Summer Spectacular – August 1, 2020 by Deborah Halverson A snapshot of the current acquisitions environment in children’s publishing, including the effects of the pandemic on market trends and submission and acquisitions trends in publishing houses and literary agencies. reating a snapshot of an industry as rich as children’s publishing is always an ambitious task. Doing so during a pandemic and a major C national cultural movement feels Herculean. Nonetheless, it is a task worthy of attempt. Writers and illustrators create books with publication in mind, if not centrally so, and understanding the marketplace and industry in which they strive for publication is important. I interviewed a dozen professionals across the industry—agents and editors, plus experts in marketing, supply chain, and statistical analysis. All told me, in one form or another, that the current health of our industry is “a mixed bag,” and that the industry will never be the same, in ways both good and bad. To a person, they all believe this industry—which has proven resilient through difficult times as recently as 2008’s Great Recession, and with its audience of young people turning to books for comfort, inspiration, entertainment, and enlightenment—is as essential as ever. This Market Re- port looks at that mixed bag, humbly offering a snapshot of where we are now, four-and-a-half months into the U.S.’s engagement with the pandemic. There will be shades of our pre-pandemic 2019 industry herein, and informed musings about an admittedly unpredictable future.

They serve as a safe environment to explore and learn, access new information technologies, and collaborate with peers. When a school library program is destroyed by a natural disaster, the students and the community feel the immediate loss of a valuable resource that reaches far beyond books. Since 2006, the American Association of School Librarians, with funding from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, has given more than 1.5 million dollars in grants to over 150 school libraries across the country affected by natural disasters.

  • Preface to the Special Issue
    Society and Economy 40 (2018) S1, pp. 1–3 DOI: 10.1556/204.2018.40.S1.1 PREFACE TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE If you type the term “future” into your internet search engine, you will immedi- ately and surely get more than two billion results. Just as the future has penetrated the vast ocean of digital data, it has also become the context of our present social existence, embedded in the domineering narrative of progress and innovation. Evolving beyond its original reference to a date in time further away from the lived moment, the future has come to represent a registry of our contemporary longings and fears. It has turned into a complex concept to be “formed” and “pursued,” an attitude to be “grown” and “groomed,” an intellectual stance with which to view the world. The operations, policies and strategies of both states and institutions cannot be decided without having a future perspective to manage risk and change. Economic-technological-cultural futures do count and are accounted for, are sought and foreseen, cast and forecast; namely, they are acknowledged as necessary elements of professional and academic discourses. This special issue of Society and Economy, entitled “Social Futuring,” howev- er, does not aim to contribute further to the scholarly contemplations about what the future can and will be, or how it will unfold. The papers in this volume rather endeavor to open up a new avenue for thinking and acting – be this academic or lay – concerning our prosperous future(s). Let us start with the title itself. The term social futuring labels a concept and a project launched by the Social Futur- ing Center (SFC) of Corvinus University of Budapest (CUB).
