The Economic Effects of Air Transport Market Liberalisation


Free Download The Economic Effects of Air Transport Market Liberalisation: A Perspective Analysis of the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) by Eyden Samunderu
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 740 Pages | ISBN : 3031618637 | 68 MB
This book rigorously examines the air transport market liberalisation process on the African continent and presents key highlights, challenges, and impediments to embracing an "open skies" market environment in Africa. It focuses on the economic impact of air transport liberalisation, policy constraints, challenges of harmonisation, and regional economic integration and its impact on air transport development, employing a quantitative assessment based on the Air Transport Liberalisation Index (ALI) to evaluate how an open skies policy would change the competitive dynamics of air transport in Africa. Adopting a two-tier gravity model, the book explores how demand and route networks would be impacted by the deregulation of the air transport market. The book also applies a historical perspective by evaluating the initial ratification of the Yamoussoukro Declaration (1999), which acted as a catalyst for Africa’s 2063 regional agenda, focused on establishing the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM).

Economic Diplomacy Die Ökonomisierung der amerikanischen Außenpolitik unter Präsident Clinton 1993-1996


Free Download Economic Diplomacy: Die Ökonomisierung der amerikanischen Außenpolitik unter Präsident Clinton 1993-1996 By Thomas Paulsen (auth.)
1999 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 3810022357 | PDF | 7 MB
"It’s the economy, stupid!" – das war der innenpolitische Slogan, mit dem Bill Clinton 1992 die Wähler für sich gewinnen konnte. Auch in der Außenpolitik erhob der neue Präsident den Anspruch, das Verhältnis zwischen sicherheits- und wirtschaftpolitischen Prioritäten neu zu ordnen. Ökonomische Ziele sollten von nun an den Kern des außenpolitischen Interessenkalküls der USA bilden. "Economic Diplomacy" wurde zum Leitbild einer neuen Außenpolitik erhoben, nationale Sicherheit als ökonomische Sicherheit neu definiert. Das Buch untersucht, ob hinter dem Label "Economic Diplomacy" tatsächlich ein solch fundamentaler Wandel der amerikanischen Außenpolitik steht. Drei Fragen stehen im Mittelpunkt: Welches waren die Grundzüge der außenpolitischen Agenda Clintons? Was waren die Ideen und Wahrnehmungsmuster hinter dem Konzept der "Economic Diplomacy"? Inwieweit konnte Clinton seine Vorstellungen im außenpolitischen Entscheidungsprozeß und in der operativen Außenpolitik in die Praxis umsetzen?

Economic Development in Africa Debt Sustainability Oasis or Mirage


Free Download United Nations, "Economic Development in Africa: Debt Sustainability Oasis or Mirage"
English | 2004 | pages: 98 | ISBN: 9211126487 | PDF | 6,8 mb
In the context of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the international community has set itself a target of reducing poverty by half by the year 2015. Many observers have now come to the conclusion that, on present trends, there is very little likelihood that this objective can be achieved at any time close to that date in the poorer countries, including in Africa. The continent’s debt problems and its resource requirements are inextricably linked to the capacity of African countries to generate capital accumulation and growth. The current study questions Africa’s debt sustainability and tries to put these and other related issues in perspective making a number of recommendations on how to deal with Africa’s debt overhang, either through the adoption of new approaches or a major revision and improvement of present debt relief policies.
