Manual on statistics of international trade in services by
United Nations(
)
12 editions published in 2002 in English and held by 1,463 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The main reason for this publication is to address the growing demand from governments, business, and analysts, for more relevant, detailed, and internationally comparable statistics on trade. With a special emphasis given to the statistical information needs of international trade negotiations and agreements. It provides a coherent conceptual framework within which countries can structure the statistics they collect and disseminate on international services trade, and recommends some means of making the data more efficient. The manual describes the four modes through which international services are traded and takes a broader and more detailed view of international trade in services as opposed to the more conventional balance of payments analysis performed by other manuals. Approaches to best implement the recommendations that are proposed are also provided in the manual.--Publisher's description

Mainstreaming gender, democratizing the State? : institutional mechanisms for the advancement of women by
Shirin Rai(
)
15 editions published between 2003 and 2017 in English and held by 1,393 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
""Mainstreaming Gender, Democratizing the State" reflects the commitment of the United Nations to promote mechanisms that aim to achieve equality between women and men. It identifies institutional mechanisms for the advancement of women including national machineries as one of twelve critical areas of concern. National machineries are the primary institutional mechanism entrusted with the implementation of the strategic objectives contained in the goals for equity set by the United Nations. The mandate of these national institutions has evolved from promoting women-specific projects to ensuring that equality concerns are integrated into all government legislation, policy, programs, and budgetary processes. National machineries face serious constraints in fulfilling their mandate including; inadequate financial and human resources, relatively powerless locations within government structures, and insufficient linkage with civil societies. This volume illustrates that the ability of UN-member states to subscribe to the agenda of equality between women and men has been significantly enhanced by the creation of these national-level institutions. National machineries for the advancement of women were initially conceived at the World Conference on the International Women's Year held in Mexico City in 1975 and since then have been considered systematically by world conferences on women in Copenhagen (1980), Nairobi (1985), and Beijing (1995), as well as the sessions of the Commission on the Status of Women. The twenty-third special session of the General Assembly in Beijing reiterated the significant role that national machineries play in promoting equality between women and men, gender mainstreaming, and monitoring of the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action as well as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. There has been a long-standing need for a volume to bring together discussions on theory and practice as well as co"--Provided by publisher

System of national accounts 1993 by
Inter-Secretariat Working Group on National Accounts(
)
13 editions published in 1993 in English and held by 1,343 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The 1993 SNA represents a major advance in national accounting. While updating and clarifying the 1968 SNA, the 1993 SNA provides the basis for improving compilation of national accounts statistics, promoting integration of economic and related statistics, and enhancing analysis of economic developments. The 1993 SNA deals more clearly with relationships between economic flows (such as production, income, savings, accumulation, and financing) and links between these flows and stocks. At the same time the 1993 SNA reflects the many significant developments that have taken place in financial markets and completes the integration of balance sheets into the system. The 1993 SNA also suggests how satellite accounts (e.g. environmental accounts) and alternative classifications (e.g., through social accounting matrices) an be used to augment the central framework of the system

Is good governance good for development? by
Jomo K. S(
)
2 editions published in 2012 in English and held by 1,098 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Whilst good governance is a worthy goal by itself, this book argues that it is not a prerequisite for economic growth or development. Challenging the conventional good governance paradigm favoured by the donor community, this book exposes the methodological shortcomings of the commonly-used governance indicators developed within the World Bank. It argues that aggregate good governance indicators are less helpful for identifying governance failure in specific areas needing policy interventions. Bringing together contributions from leading political scientists, political economists and development practitioners, this is the first book that focuses on such good governance issues
