Edited by Laura Wallace, this volume presents the proceedings of a May 1998 seminar in Paris, organized jointly by the IMF and the Japanese Ministry of Finance, on ways to accelerate Africa's growth in our increasingly globalized world. Senior African and Asian government officials, representatives from multicultural institutions, donors, academics, and private sector participants gathered to discuss how to improve the private investment environment in African countries and take advantage of globalization's benefits while minimizing its risks, and how to strengthen the contribution of government in areas of capacity building, good governance, effective public resource management, and improved quality and composition of government spending.BooksFree tradeAfricaCongressesStructural adjustment (Economic policy)AfricaCongressesInvestments, ForeignAfricaCongressesBanks and BankingimfExports and ImportsimfLaborimfPublic FinanceimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfEmploymentimfUnemploymentimfWagesimfIntergenerational Income DistributionimfAggregate Human CapitalimfAggregate Labor ProductivityimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfTrade PolicyimfInternational Trade OrganizationsimfInternational InvestmentimfLong-term Capital MovementsimfPublic finance & taxationimfBankingimfInternational economicsimfCivil service & public sectorimfLabourimfincome economicsimfFinanceimfExpenditureimfPublic employmentimfTrade liberalizationimfCommercial banksimfInternational tradeimfFinancial institutionsimfForeign direct investmentimfBalance of paymentsimfTrade policyimfExpenditures, PublicimfBanks and bankingimfCommercial policyimfEconomic theoryimfCivil serviceimfAfricaEconomic policyCongressesUgandaimfFree tradeStructural adjustment (Economic policy)Investments, ForeignBanks and BankingExports and ImportsLaborPublic FinanceIndustries: Financial ServicesNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralEmploymentUnemploymentWagesIntergenerational Income DistributionAggregate Human CapitalAggregate Labor ProductivityBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesTrade PolicyInternational Trade OrganizationsInternational InvestmentLong-term Capital MovementsPublic finance & taxationBankingInternational economicsCivil service & public sectorLabourincome economicsFinanceExpenditurePublic employmentTrade liberalizationCommercial banksInternational tradeFinancial institutionsForeign direct investmentBalance of paymentsTrade policyExpenditures, PublicBanks and bankingCommercial policyEconomic theoryCivil service338.96Wallace Laura1489600International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910780757603321Africa3710366UNINA02345oam 2200553zu 450 991083022790332120210807004408.00-470-33971-3(CKB)3400000000000252(SSID)ssj0000506304(PQKBManifestationID)11303558(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000506304(PQKBWorkID)10515768(PQKB)10799986(EXLCZ)99340000000000025220160829d2008 uy engtxtccrAdvanced processing and manufacturing technologies for structural and multifunctional materials : a collection of papers presented at the 31st International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, January 21-26, 2007, Daytona Beach, Florida[Place of publication not identified]Wiley Interscience2008Ceramic engineering and science proceedings Advanced processing and manufacturing technologies for structural and multifunctional materials Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-470-19638-6 Ceramic materialsCongressesComposite materialsCongressesChemical & Materials EngineeringHILCCEngineering & Applied SciencesHILCCChemical EngineeringHILCCMaterials ScienceHILCCCeramic materialsComposite materialsChemical & Materials EngineeringEngineering & Applied SciencesChemical EngineeringMaterials Science620.1/4Singh MOhji TZhu DongmingSalem J.
