Review Global Development Finance 2003: Striving for Stability in Development Finance (Global Development Finance) / World Bank Office of the Publisher:

Since the late 1990s, a fundamental shift has occrred in the pattern of private sector financial flows to developing countries. Debt flows have fallen sharply, while equity flows - mainly in the form of foreign direct investment - have remained comparatively robust. This shift from debt to equity should diminish the volatility of developing countries' external finance and improve their access to technology, markets and management expertise. But much more needs to be done to put development finance on a stable basis. This annual review of recent trends in and prospects for financial flows to developing countries from the World Bank also contains its projections of the global outlook in light of current global geopolitical uncertainties. Volume II includes a comprehensive set of tables with statistical data for 138 countries that report debt under the World Bank Detor Reporting System, as well as summary data for regions and income groups. It contains data on total external debt stocks and flows, aggregates and key debt ratios, and provides a detailed, country-by-country picture of debt.

Review Smallholder Tree Growing for Rural Development and Environmental Services: Lessons from Asia (Advances in Agroforestry) (Advances in Agroforestry) / Springer:

Recent history reveals that both the large-scale reforestation projects of the 20th century have often been less successful than anticipated, and that tree growing by smallholders as an alternative means to combat deforestation and promote sustainable land use has received relatively little attention from the scientific and development communities. Taking a first step to addressing that balance, this collection of peer-reviewed papers adopts a comparative approach to explore the potential role that tree growing by farmers can play in sustainable forest management. The goal of this approach is to identify common threads and to start to develop a framework for future research and practice. Presenting case studies from the Philippines and comparative data from a number of Asian countries the book reveals that farmer tree growing has the potential to play a significant role in sustainable forest management, and discusses the surrounding issues which must be addressed in order to realise this potential. The book is primarily aimed at research scientists and graduate students interested in relevant aspects of forestry, agroforestry, agricultural diversity, natural resource management and conservation in agricultural landscapes, as well as those involved in sustainable development and international development studies. It will also provide a valuable reference for professionals, managers, consultants, policy makers and planners dealing with issues in sustainable development, natural resource management, land use change issues and participatory approaches to resource management.
