Book Description

Hong Kong, one of the world's great manufacturing societies, now faces major challenges and competition from developing countries building middle-tech industries and offering low-wage labor. Confronting the challenges that Hong Kong will face in the next decade, Made By Hong Kong focuses on
the role of manufacturing in the development of the Hong Kong economy and analyzes alternative strategies and new directions for industrial growth. It shows how economic abilities, employment and social well-being can be maintained even as many of society's production activities move outside the
domestic territory.
The authors suggest ways to develop while maintaining and enhancing production activities. They examine the role of biotechnology and information technology by bringing in international experts in these fields from the MIT research community and provide recommendations for government, industry,
and academia.
Based on the results of a major year-long study, Made By Hong Kong analyzes the resources and handicaps of a significant set of Hong Kong industries as they attempt to utilize a diverse and strong set of new assets such as new technologies and a new proximity to China.

Book Description

The New Industrializing Countries (NICs) of the Pacific Basin--Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore--differ in many ways such as their languages, cultures, political and economic systems. What is interesting is what economic characteristic they hold in common. Each has succeeded in defying in what Chow and Kellman define as a "vicious circle of poverty" following World War II. They provide a comprehensive analysis of the economic factors which fueled the "engine of growth." The authors combine a detailed body of empirical data with an unusually broad theoretical framework to highlight the factors in each industry and market which contributed to the success of these countries. The work examines and forecasts potential competition from the surrounding geographic area in specific markets. It contrasts the development of the NICs with Japan, with "next tier NICs," and with each other in markets, including those of the United States and the forthcoming united Europe. Using modern economic theory and sophisticated quantitative techniques, Trade - The Engine of Growth in East Asia will clearly help scholars, students, policymakers, and professionals in understanding these East Asian models of growth.

Book Description

Restorative justice is often touted as the humane and politically progressive alternative to the rigid philosophy of retributive punishment that underpins many of the world's judicial systems. Emotionally seductive, its rhetoric appeals to a desire for a "right-relation" among individuals and communities, an offers us a vision of justice that allows for the mutual healing of victim and offender, and with it, a sense of communal repair.

In Compulsory Compassion, Annalise Acorn, a one-time advocate for restorative justice, deconstructs the rhetoric of the restorative movement. Drawing from diverse legal, literary, philosophical, and autobiographical sources, she questions the fundamental assumptions behind that rhetoric: that we can trust wrongdoers' performances of contrition; that healing lies in a respectful, face-to-face encounter between victim and offender; and that the restorative idea of right-relation holds the key to a reconciliation of justice and accountability on the one hand, with love and compassion on the other.

Customer Reviews:

An engaging, enjoyable and informative book.......2004-04-09

This book manages with great skill a point-by-point critique of restorative justice without ever ceasing to be entertaining and hard hitting. Acorn runs circles around windy gurus like Martha Nussbaum, who the reader will find delightfully and definitively deflated. With witty understatement Acorn reveals the soft new-age assumptions that underpin restorative justice; she exposes the hypocrisy and pompous piety of the mantra of "restoring right relation", a "right relation" achieved by the forced performance or manufacture of sentimentalized compassion, by easy forgiveness and easier remorse where the mere show of remorse substitutes for punishment. You can bet wrongdoers are cheering restorative justice and the culture of "I hear your pain" vacuousness. The author was not done much service by UBC press who has priced this book even out of the range of most libraries. It is too bad, because it deserves to be widely read.

Book Description

In Agriculture on the Road to Industrialization, John Mellor brings together a distinguished group of contributors to examine the lessons drawn from those less developed countries whose success in agricultural development accelerated growth of other sectors, with favorable effects on overall growth, employment, income distribution, and dispersal of utilization. The framework for discussion includes three components: increased incomes resulting from growth in the agricultural sector; the expenditure of that increased income; and the consequent expansion of other sectors of the economy.

Contributors: Romeo M. Bautista, Albert Berry, G. S. Bhalla, Arne Bigsten, Rafael Celis, Paul Collier, Roberto A. Domenech, Bruce F. Johnston, Shirley W. Y. Kuo, Eduardo Lizano, Yu-Kang Mao, John W. Mellor, Yair Mundlak, Albert Park, Chi Schive, Ammar Siamwalla.Published for the International Food Policy Research Institute.
