World Development Report 2011 Conflict, Security, and Development The World Development Report 2011: Conflict, Security, and Development (WDR) looks at conflict as a challenge to economic development. It analyzes the nature, causes, and development consequences of modern violence and highlight lessons learned from efforts to prevent or recover from violence.

Preliminary Cover/ Previously Announced

In the developing world, between two thirds and three quarters of the children without access to school, infants dying, and mothers dying in childbirth live in countries that are at risk, affected by, or recently recovering from violence. There are strong links between local conflicts, national conflict, organized crime and trafficking, and gang activity, and several societies that have successfully addressed one form of violence have later seen other forms threaten their development progress. The key challenge is to build national institutional capacities, taking account of the balance between political realities and progress on social justice, and the need for carefullysequenced and paced reforms. Successful efforts to prevent violence have in general combined political, security, and developmental efforts in support of objectives of citizen security, economic hope, and inclusive and responsive governance.

The ultimate goal of this WDR is to promote new ways of preventing or addressing violent conflict. It will not attempt to come up with a universal set of prescriptions. By drawing on insights and experiences from a host of past and present situations, it will identify promising national and regional initiatives as well as directions for change in international responses, and discuss how lessons can be applied in situations of vulnerability to violent conflict.

Doing Business 2011 Making a Difference for Entrepreneurs Previously Announced

Eighth in a series of annual reports comparing business regulations in 183 economies, Doing Business 2011: Making a Difference for Entrepreneurs measures regulations affecting nine areas of everyday business activity: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and closing a business.

The report updates all nine sets of indicators, ranks countries on their overall ease of doing business and analyzes reforms to business regulation—identifying which countries are improving their business environment the most and which ones slipped. Doing Business 2011 includes annexes on employing workers and ongoing research in the area of “getting electricity”; these are not included in the ranking on ease of doing business.

November 2010. 185 pages. Stock no. C17960 (ISBN: 978-0-8213-7960-8). US$35.00

Doing Business 2011 illustrates how reforms in business regulations can translate into better outcomes for domestic entrepreneurs and the wider economy. It also focuses on how women in particular are affected by complex business regulations.

“[Doing Business] has succeeded in putting the issue of business red tape on the international political agenda.”

— The Economist, 2010

“Countries battered by the financial crisis continued to make market-oriented changes in their business regulation, said a World Bank report, which also named Kazakhstan as the nation that had most improved its business rules.”

— The Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones

by Bob Davis, 2010

“Singapore remains the best country in which to run a business, according to an annual report by the World Bank. The Asian nation has come top of the World Bank’s Doing Business 2011 study, which rates 183 countries on the ease in which they allow firms to operate.”

— BBC News, 2010

Preliminary Cover

Global Development Horizons 2011 As the second decade of the 21st century unfolds, the world economy is acclimating to shifting economic growth poles, evolving trade and finance paradigms, and new mechanisms of international policy coordination. While the large developed economies of today were undeniably the drivers of global growth over the past century, these polarities appear to be shifting.

Global Development Horizons—a new annual series from the World Bank—aims to stimulate fresh thinking and research on medium- and long-term emerging global economic trends. The first report looks at the multipolar global economy that is emerging and its implications for development, addressing the associated structural changes in growth dynamics, corporate investment, and international monetary and trade arrangements.

With less than five years remaining to achieve the MDGs, this year’s report looks at the prospects and challenges for reaching the goals. It also examines the great diversity of performance across indicators, countries, and categories of countries to determine the necessary policies to fill the remaining gaps.

Rising Global Interest in Farmland Can It Yield Sustainable and Equitable Benefits?

By Klaus Deininger and Derek Byerlee with Jonathan Lindsay, Andrew Norton, Harris Selod, and Mercedes Stickler

“The report…is the broadest study yet of the so-called ‘farmland grab.’”

— Financial Times

Rising Global Interest in Farmland provides key information needed for informed debate about large-scale land acquisition. It draws on the experience from past land expansions, discussing potential future demand, and providing empirical evidence of what is happening on the ground in the countries most affected by the recent increase in demand for land. It complements demand-side considerations with a detailed assessment of the amount of land, whether currently cultivated or not, that might potentially be available for agricultural cultivation at the global and country levels. It then describes the policies in place to manage land acquisition processes and analyzes how these policies may affect outcomes.

December 2010. 208 pages. Stock no. C18591 (ISBN: 978-0-8213-8591-3). US$25.00

This book can help governments in land-abundant countries assess how to best integrate increased demand for land into their rural development strategies and provide opportunities and benefits to all involved, including existing smallholders. This is particularly important as many of these countries also have high yield gaps. It also highlights how, in cases where land acquisition by large investors makes sense from a social, economic, and environmental perspective, governments can create an environment to attract outside investment that contributes to broad-based growth and poverty reduction.

The book draws on a variety of methodologies, such as country inventories of large land transfers from 2004-09 in 14 countries based on data officially available to in-country consultants, and an analysis of media reports on large investments in 2008-09.

Natural Hazards, UnNatural Disasters The Economics of Effective Prevention

Natural Hazards, UnNatural Disasters looks at disasters primarily through an economic lens. Economists emphasize self-interest to explain how people choose the amount of prevention, insurance, and coping. But lenses can distort as well as sharpen images, so the book also draws from other disciplines: psychology to examine how people may misperceive risks, political science to understand voting patterns, and nutrition science to see how stunting in children after a disaster impairs cognitive abilities and productivity as adults much later. It asks not only the tough questions, but some unexpected ones as well: Should all disasters be prevented? Do disasters increase or decrease conflict? Does foreign aid help or hinder prevention? The answers are not obvious. Peering into the future, it finds that growing cities and a changing climate will shape the disaster prevention landscape. While it is cautious about the future, it is not alarmist.

Previously Announced

Earthquakes, droughts, floods, and storms are natural hazards, but unnatural disasters are the deaths and damages that result from human acts of omission and commission. Every disaster is unique, but each exposes actions—by individuals and governments at different levels—that, had they been different, would have resulted in fewer deaths and less damage. Prevention is possible, and this book examines what it takes to do this cost-effectively.

November 2010. 276 pages. Stock no. C18050 (ISBN: 978-0-8213-8050-5). US$39.95

Praise for the book “...[this report] provides a deep understanding of the relative roles of the market, government intervention, and social institutions in determining and improving both the prevention and the response to hazardous occurrences.”

— Kenneth J. Arrow, Nobel Prize in Economics, 1972

“I strongly recommend this book to non-economists as well as economists, and to government officials who must cope with floods, oil spills, earthquakes, and other disasters.”

“This report is a gem.…a model to be studied and emulated.…I don’t remember reading any other 248 pages on a deadly serious subject that were so informative and so easily digested.”

— Thomas C. Schelling, Nobel Prize in Economics, 2005

“An excellent piece of work with really practical lessons that will influence the way disasters are handled—and indeed prevented…. [it] could make a gigantic difference to the lives of vulnerable people. I welcome it warmly.”

— Gary S. Becker, Nobel Prize in Economics, 1992

Localizing Development Does Participation Work?

By Ghazala Mansuri and Vijayendra Rao

The idea that fostering citizen participation is central to resolving problems of good governance and development is one that has acquired tremendous force in recent times. Community participation in the development process is expected to build demand for inclusive and effective local governance, empower poor and vulnerable groups, improve the delivery of public services, and increase access to resources and livelihood opportunities—particularly for the most marginalized. In line with this, both governments and donors have invested very substantial resources in programs and projects which use participatory approaches to build local institutions. This book examines the conceptual foundations of the participatory approach to local development, assesses the evidence of its efficacy, and draws key lessons for policy policy research report

Changing the Industrial Geography in Asia The Impact of China and India

By Shahid Yusuf and Kaoru Nabeshima

A great burst of globalization brought the 20th century to a close, creating upheaval in the world economy from roughly 1995 to 2008. And now, with the new century barely commenced, a second upheaval is in the offing following the severe financial crisis that plunged the global economy into recession in 2008—09.

The first upheaval witnessed a massive migration of manufacturing and certain business services that transformed Asia into the industrial heartland of the world. The second upheaval will likely consolidate Asia’s industrial preeminence and could result in a concentration of industrial activities in the two most populous and fastest-growing Asian economies— China and India.

Previously Announced

As the two Asian giants become the industrial equals of the United States, Germany, and Japan, the ramifications will affect trade and growth worldwide, the future of development in China and India, and industrialization throughout Asia. Changing the Industrial Geography in Asia: The Impact of China and India examines these developments, focusing specifically on China and India. Its analysis and conclusions will be of particular interest to policy makers and academics, as well as anyone with an interest in how China and India are likely to reshape industry throughout Asia.

“[…] For those interested in understanding the prospects of post– financial crisis Asia, this book is a must read. It is a refreshing return to economic fundamentals, including the new problems of climate change and dwindling energy resources, and will remain the leading reference on Asian transformation for a long time to come.”

— Rakesh Mohan, Professor in the Practice of International Economics and Finance, Yale School of Management; Senior Fellow, Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, Yale University; former Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India

By Hennie van Greuning, Darrel Scott, and Simonet Terblanche

“... a timely update on important developments in the IFRS framework.

With the growing number of countries adopting IFRS, this practical guide provides a valuable aid to both the understanding and application of International Financial Reporting Standards…”

— Kenneth Sullivan, Senior Financial Sector Expert (IMF)

The Great Recession and Developing Countries Economic Impact and Growth Prospects Edited by Mustapha K. Nabli

The 2008–09 financial crisis, which originated in the United States and rapidly spread to the rest of world, resulting in the most severe and intense Great Recession since World War II, has posed new challenges for international policy coordination and the management of national economies. Questions are being raised about globalization, which has been a powerful engine of economic growth over the past three decades but exposes countries to more volatility and increases risk.

December 2010. 664 pages. Stock no. C18513 (ISBN: 978-0-8213-8513-5). US$35.00

The Great Recession and Developing Countries delves into 10 country case studies that explore growth during the pre-crisis boom, the effects of the crisis, policy responses, and recovery.

Looking beyond the crisis, the volume undertakes projections of medium-term growth and explores the possible impact of the global crisis. The case studies illustrate a broad range of experiences in the wake of the Great Recession—covering Brazil, China, Ethiopia, India, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, Turkey, and Vietnam—and give insights on how developing countries can best prepare and respond to such crises. A synthesis chapter establishes the overall framework, provides a summary of the global crisis and its effects on the countries studied, and draws lessons from the 10 country studies. This book will be of particular interest to development practitioners, policy makers, and academics.

The Day After Tomorrow A Handbook on the Future of Economic Policy in the Developing World Edited by Otaviano Canuto and Marcelo M. Giugale

The 2008-09 global financial crisis shook the ground under the conventional wisdom that had guided mainstream development economics. Much of what had been held as true for decades is now open to reexamination—from what the role of governments should be in markets to which countries will be the engines of the world’s economy, from what people need to leave poverty to what businesses need to stay competitive.

The Day after Tomorrow brings together the visions of some 40 development economists, who report what they see on the horizon of their technical disciplines and of their geographic areas of specialization.

While some regions will do better than others, and some technical areas will be clearer than others, there is no question that the horizon of economic policy for developing countries is promising. The rebalancing of global growth toward, at the very least, a multiplicity of engines, will give the developing world a new relevance.

Highlights n Developing countries will become a growth engine for the world.

Faster technological learning and more South-South integration will fuel that engine. n Governments in developing countries will be better—they may even begin to earn the trust of their people. n A new, smarter generation of social policy will bring the end of poverty within reach, but the attainment of equality is another matter. n Many regions of the developing world will break out of their “developing” status and will graduate into something akin to “newly developed.”

Sovereign Debt and the Financial Crisis Will This Time Be Different?

Previously Announced

Edited by Carlos A. Primo Braga, and Gallina A. Vincelette

“This is a first-rate book on the economics of debt.”

— ELIANA CARDOSO, Professor of Economics, Getulio Vargas Foundation, São Paulo, Brazil

In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008, governments worldwide undertook massive fiscal interventions to stave off what might otherwise have been a system-wide financial and economic meltdown. These policy responses engendered significant shifts in the growth trajectories and debt sustainability outlooks of both developed and developing economies. Major concerns emerge from the magnitude of public liabilities and the uncertainty surrounding the exit from the unprecedented fiscal stimulus. Will the current stringent financial conditions lead to a wave of sovereign debt problems around the world? Or, will countries, given their stronger fundamentals compared with previous episodes, successfully muddle through the crisis?

November 2010. 528 pages. Stock no. C18483 (ISBN: 978-0-8213-8483-1). US$49.95

Sovereign Debt and the Financial Crisis presents policy-relevant research on the current debt challenges facing countries around the globe. The book’s value is in its integrated approach, drawing on theoretical research and evidence from practitioners’ experiences in developing, emerging market, and developed economies.

Postcrisis Growth and Development A Development Agenda for the G-20 Edited by Shahrokh Fardoust, Yongbeom Kim, and Claudia Paz Sepúlveda

Previously Announced

Postcrisis Growth and Development lays the groundwork for setting development priorities and advances the discussion among the G20, and non-G20 countries on development policy in infrastructure, trade, food security, financial inclusion, and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), as they relate to strong, sustainable, and balanced global growth.

The topics covered in the volume include both broad themes and specific sectors, including the emergence of multipolar growth in the post-crisis period; the impact of the global crisis on achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015; promoting aid for trade; supporting infrastructure and sustainable development; ensuring agriculture and food security; and advancing inclusive finance.

The volume makes a strong case for integrating development into the G20 agenda, and the need to bring non-G20 developing countries on board to ensure their participation in the global recovery and sustained growth, and to enhance the legitimacy and credibility of the G20 process.

“ Postcrisis Growth and Development should be in the hands of every G-20 minister at the Seoul Summit” —BENNO NDULU, Governor of the Bank of Tanzania

Making Monitoring and Evaluation Systems Work A Capacity Development Toolkit

By Marelize Göergens and Jody Zall Kusek After more than a decade of development investments in monitoring and evaluation few countries are able to regularly report on how effective their policies and programs are in achieving the results they desire. It is not through lack of good monitoring and evaluation design, nor political mandates to support the effort, but from a lack of sustained management and delivery of effective monitoring and evaluation programs within established organizations. Building sustainable monitoring and evaluation systems will help improve the capacity of any organization committed to measure, monitor and manage development results.

Systems of Cities Harnessing Urbanization for Growth and Poverty Alleviation

This report recommends an overall strategy and specific policy measures to eliminate absolute poverty, reduce inequality in opportunities, and contain inequality in development outcomes.

Urbanization is a defining phenomenon of this century and the developing world is where this demographic transformation is taking place. Over 90 percent of urban growth is now occurring in the developing world and nearly two billion people will become urban residents in the next twenty years. This reality makes the World Bank’s Urban and Local Government Strategy presented in this book both relevant and compelling. The new strategy, structured around five thematic areas, suggests ways for developing countries to maximize the benefits of urbanization while avoiding the congestion costs. It delves into new programmatic approaches to urban poverty while embracing the challenge of the climate change agenda.
