United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO 2016 Cover The recent large-scale, systematic destruction and looting of cultural heritage has been the dominant theme at UNESCO throughout 2016. One of the Organization’s responses to these attacks on cultural heritage and cultural pluralism is the #Unite4Heritage campaign, a global movement that calls on everyone to harvest the power of culture to bring people together and to celebrate the places, objects and cultural traditions that make the world such a rich and vibrant place. This image produced for the campaign combines past and present, with the head of Buddha Shakyamuni and the face of an Erbore tribe warrior from Ethiopia. © Public Domain LACMA - Los Angeles County Museum of Art/Rod Waddington Published in 2017 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). 7, place de Fontenoy, 75352 Paris 07 SP, France © UNESCO 2017 This publication is available in Open Access under the Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 IGO (CC-BY-SA 3.0 IGO) license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/igo/).

6 the Political Economy of Latin American Development
6 The Political Economy of Latin American Development One of the most pervasive themes in previous chapters has been the relation between institutions and growth-enhancing policies. In sharp contrast to our opening chapter, which focused on income inequalities and long-term growth trajectories dating back to Latin America's colonial period-when the region was predominantly rural-this chapter is closest in spirit to chapter 3 on state interven tion under ISL Specifically, this chapter analyzes the underlying political economy of populist upsurges in predominantly urban areas in which macroeconomic populisf!l has taken hold. The phenomenon is not new. Populism in Latin America dates back to the 1920s.1 More recently, political economy issues that emphasize the ethnical divide between Latin America's Europeans and mestizos and between indigenous and nonindigenous populations have been added to the new wave of populist topics in contemporary Latin America. Populism is difficult to define. In Latin America, however, the meaning of popu lism is slightly less difficult to determine. From an economist's standpoint, and paraphrasing Dornbusch and Edwards's groundbreaking work, largely inspired by twentieth-century Latin America, macroeconomic populism is an approach to economics that emphasizes growth and income distribution and deemphasizes the risk of inflation and deficit finance, external constraints, and the reaction of economic agents to aggressive nonmarket policies.2 Contrary to what chapter 4, with its focus on structural reforms of the 1980s and 1990s, may seem to indicate, macroeconomic populism is not just a ghost from the past. Populism in different forms and shapes is a twenty-first-century Latin American reality. -

Why are some leaders more prone to implement sustainable development policies than others, and does the leaders' political orientation affect such decision-making? Leaders are often faced with constraints that make them choose policies that do not necessarily lead to sustainability from an ecological point of view. This thesis addresses these issues by examining two case studies that involve an analysis of the sustainable development policies implemented by President Lula in Brazil and President Chavez in Venezuelaand the constraints that have hindered them in doing so. 2 ABSTRACT 2 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 4 METHODOLOGY 5 REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE 8 Sustainable Development 8 Populism I I POLICY SIGNIFICANCE 13 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT POLICIES 14 OUTLINE 16 CHAPTER 2. -

October 10 2020 Page 2 Nigerian protests go global On Friday, the most trending term on Twitter – worldwide – was #EndSARS. This caused some confusion in South Africa, where the acronym stands for the South African Revenue Service. No, South Africans, you still have to pay your taxes. In Nigeria, SARS stands for the Special Anti-Robbery Squad. They are meant to be the country’s elite police unit, but have been repeatedly implicated in intimidation, harassment, extortion, assault and murder (see our report on p6). In protests and sit-ins across the country – pictured above – Nigerians have made it clear that enough is enough. So far, however, even the police minister has been unable to shut SARS down.

Modern Monetary Theory: Cautionary Tales from Latin America
Modern Monetary Theory: Cautionary Tales from Latin America Sebastian Edwards* Economics Working Paper 19106 HOOVER INSTITUTION 434 GALVEZ MALL STANFORD UNIVERSITY STANFORD, CA 94305-6010 April 25, 2019 According to Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) it is possible to use expansive monetary policy – money creation by the central bank (i.e. the Federal Reserve) – to finance large fiscal deficits that will ensure full employment and good jobs for everyone, through a “jobs guarantee” program. In this paper I analyze some of Latin America’s historical episodes with MMT-type policies (Chile, Peru. Argentina, and Venezuela). The analysis uses the framework developed by Dornbusch and Edwards (1990, 1991) for studying macroeconomic populism. The four experiments studied in this paper ended up badly, with runaway inflation, huge currency devaluations, and precipitous real wage declines. These experiences offer a cautionary tale for MMT enthusiasts.† JEL Nos: E12, E42, E61, F31 Keywords: Modern Monetary Theory, central bank, inflation, Latin America, hyperinflation The Hoover Institution Economics Working Paper Series allows authors to distribute research for discussion and comment among other researchers. Working papers reflect the views of the author and not the views of the Hoover Institution. * Henry Ford II Distinguished Professor, Anderson Graduate School of Management, UCLA † I have benefited from discussions with Ed Leamer, José De Gregorio, Scott Sumner, and Alejandra Cox. I thank Doug Irwin and John Taylor for their support. 1 1. Introduction During the last few years an apparently new and revolutionary idea has emerged in economic policy circles in the United States: Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). The central tenet of this view is that it is possible to use expansive monetary policy – money creation by the central bank (i.e. -
El Hadj Omar
El Hadj Omar Extrait du Au Senegal http://www.au-senegal.com El Hadj Omar - Français - Découvrir le Sénégal, pays de la teranga - Histoire - Date de mise en ligne : samedi 1er mars 2008 Description : Voir aussi • Les religions Au Senegal Copyright © Au Senegal Page 1/3 El Hadj Omar El Hadj Omar, chef guerrier et mystique, fondateur de lempire toucouleur. El Hadj Omar, de son vrai nom Omar Saidou Tall, est né entre 1794 et 1797 à Alwar, près de Guédé dans le département de Podor. Son père se nommait Saidou, fils de Uthman, fils de Makhtar, fils d' Ahmad Samba de la grande famille des Tall. Il était le quatrième fils de son père et le huitième de sa mère. Celle-ci avait pour nom Sokhna Adama. Omar Saidou Tall appartient à la précieuse lignée des Tooroodo et à ce titre s'initia très tôt à la culture coranique. L'ethnie à laquelle appartenait Omar Saidou Tall avait adhéré depuis 1776 à la confrérie des Qadriyas. Il reçoit de sa famille une instruction religieuse solide et apprend l'arabe. Il complète sa formation par des voyages auprès des Maures de la confrérie des Qadriya au Tagant et à Walata. A 23 ans, El Hadj Omar entreprend le pélerinage à la Mecque. Le voyage dure treize ans. Il se déplace ainsi entre le Caire, la Mecque, Médine et Jérusalem. Il séjourne quelques années à Médine, ce qui lui permet d'approfondir ses connaissances du Coran, de la culture coranique et de l'arabe. Pendant son séjour dans les lieux saints de l'islam, El Hadj Omar fait la connaissance du khalife Cheikh Muhammad Al Ghali, disciple d'Ahmad Al Tidjani, qui va exercer sur lui une influence déterminante. -
