The chapters in this volume explore the potential challenges to countries with abundant natural resources and ways to manage these challenges so as to reap the benefits of resource wealth while avoiding the pitfalls. The book is divided into five sections, which explore commodity markets and the macroeconomy, economic diversification and the role of finance, fiscal policy, exchange rates and financial stability, and governance. The ideas in this book were first presented at a seminar in November 2010 that was aimed primarily at policymakers in sub-Saharan Africa and brought together ministers, central bank governors, other senior policymakers, and well-known academics.BooksNatural resourcesResource curseFiscal policyMonetary policyForeign exchange ratesDiversification in industryEconomic developmentPrimary commoditiesFinanceSovereign wealth fundsInvestments: EnergyimfExports and ImportsimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfNatural ResourcesimfInvestments: CommoditiesimfForeign ExchangeimfAgricultural and Natural Resource EconomicsimfEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: GeneralimfCommodity MarketsimfEnergy: GeneralimfFiscal PolicyimfMetals and Metal ProductsimfCementimfGlassimfCeramicsimfEnvironmental managementimfInvestment & securitiesimfPublic finance & taxationimfInternational economicsimfFinanceimfCurrencyimfForeign exchangeimfNatural resourcesimfCommodity pricesimfOilimfFiscal policyimfMetal pricesimfEnvironmentimfPricesimfCommoditiesimfPetroleum industry and tradeimfMetalsimfCommercial productsimfChileimfNatural resources.Resource curse.Fiscal policy.Monetary policy.Foreign exchange rates.Diversification in industry.Economic development.Primary commodities.Finance.Sovereign wealth funds.Investments: EnergyExports and ImportsMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceNatural ResourcesInvestments: CommoditiesForeign ExchangeAgricultural and Natural Resource EconomicsEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: GeneralCommodity MarketsEnergy: GeneralFiscal PolicyMetals and Metal ProductsCementGlassCeramicsEnvironmental managementInvestment & securitiesPublic finance & taxationInternational economicsFinanceCurrencyForeign exchangeNatural resourcesCommodity pricesOilFiscal policyMetal pricesEnvironmentPricesCommoditiesPetroleum industry and tradeMetalsCommercial productsSy Amadou1462056Arezki Rabah1472682Gylfason Thorvaldur128929Bank al-Jazāʼir.IMF Institute.International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910779294003321Beyond the Curse3782734UNINA03213nam 2200709Ia 450 991082037240332120200520144314.00-8166-8582-79780816685820(CKB)1000000000347147(EBL)310316(OCoLC)476093802(SSID)ssj0000224127(PQKBManifestationID)11200839(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000224127(PQKBWorkID)10205791(PQKB)11577355(MiAaPQ)EBC310316(OCoLC)191930563(MdBmJHUP)muse39642(Au-PeEL)EBL310316(CaPaEBR)ebr10159445(EXLCZ)99100000000034714719940711d1995 ub 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe politics of social protest comparative perspectives on states and social movements /J.

The State and Movement Outcomes: System Transformations and Political Reform; Bibliography; Contributors; Author Index; Subject IndexBringing together celebrated scholars from diverse traditions and backgrounds, this volume focuses on the reciprocal relationships among social movements, states, and political parties. The essays are organized around three key questions: Why do citizens resort to the often risky and demanding strategy of using disruptive protest when other channels of political intervention appear to be available? What is the relationship between social protest movements and systems of political representation? And what is the impact of the structure and development of the state on social movements themselves.Social movements, protest, and contention ;v. 3.Political sociologySocial movementsPolitical aspectsProtest movementsPolitical participationComparative governmentPolitical sociology.Social movementsPolitical aspects.Protest movements.Political participation.Comparative government.322.4Jenkins J.
