Book Description
First Published in 1979 Economic Growth and Development in Jordan is a comprehensive analysis of the economies of pre-1967 Jordan and the post-1967 East Bank. Part I includes statistical data that measures the growth performance of Jordan’s prewar economy and presents the first quantitative explanation of its concentration in the service sector. Part II surveys the postwar East Bank economy, including a critical analysis of statistical data. The third section of the book covers Jordan’s development policies and experiences in the areas of agriculture, industry, and planning. Dr Mazur concludes with speculations on the future of the Jordanian economy with and without a Middle East peace settlement. This is an interesting read for students and researchers of economics, Middle East studies and Middle East economics.

Book Description
As the world makes great strides on the path to development, the gap between infrastructure needs and the resources governments possess to meet those needs is ever growing on account of governments’ razor thin budgets, rapid urbanization and population growth. Asia’s overall infrastructure investment needs are estimated at USD 9 trillion till 2030, 68% of which is for new capacity and 32% for maintaining and replacing existing infrastructure. The average annual infrastructure investment during this period is about USD 750 billion. As countries move up the value chain and urban populations expand, demand for transport, logistics and utilities will only continue to grow, increasing the burden on public funds. If cash-flushed investors have an appetite for Asia’s infrastructure projects, what is keeping them at bay? For infrastructure development, statistics show that Asian nations have been turning to Public Private Partnerships (PPP), which seemed to be one of the main tools to attract financing and keep pace with rapid growth. Although the PPP models are established in several Asian countries, such as Singapore, South Korea and Japan, others are relatively immature. Indonesia, China and India, in particular, have announced ambitious infrastructure programs with governments developing mechanisms to encourage PPP investment and address barriers to PPP development. The new game-changers of the 21st century – India and China are showing aggressive signs of opening their domestic markets to international investors. While PPPs hold significant potential for Asia, they also present formidable challenges. Case studies of PPP markets in Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand provide an Asian perspective enabling recommendations for Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani government has achieved great progress over the last decade in integrating the country into the global economic marketplace and increasing foreign investment mainly due to its oil resources. Now, the government’s focus is on diversifying the economy outside the oil sector. Azerbaijan is facing increasing demand for investment in infrastructure development, overstretching the government’s budget. There is need for not only private sector investment but also private sector knowledge and expertise. The traditional approach of the government for infrastructure development of any kind has been to use the state’s own budget or privatization. The first is markedly insufficient to meet the country’s needs while the latter only works in a sound legal and financial framework and is not appropriate for all public service delivery projects. So there is a need to see if the time is ripe for public private partnerships. PPPs may not be the ultimate solution, but they can help address many of the issues systemic to the region in the field of infrastructure development. All it needs is a systematic approach undertaken through joint efforts of private and public sectors.

Book Description
Jordan is one of the most important countries of the Fertile Crescent. Although it is not richly endowed with material resources its political significance in the region gives it considerable authority. This book focuses on the economic development of Jordan over the last decade. It analyses the structural changes the economy has undergone and examines the experience of the key sectors. It also looks at the contribution of foreign aid and emigrant workers’ remittances to the economy. The book concludes that there is a significant potential for the Jordanian economy but the current political and economic problems facing it are daunting. First published in 1987.

Book Description
This study, originally a Ph.D. thesis accepted in the University of Bir mingham, is intended to present a critical analysis of some important problems of development financing. The boundaries of our subject-mat ter will be defined as follows. First of all, the discussion will be confined to the problems of a particular country: Turkey, during a particular period of time: the period of the First Five-Year Development Plan of 1963-67. Secondly, the problems to be discussed will be chosen from among those concerning the saving aspect of development financing. It has now become a widely used method in the literature to assume a dichotomy between the saving and investing aspects of the process of development financing. Thirdly, even within the saving aspect of development financing, no claim will be made to comprehensiveness. Preference will be given to analyzing in depth a few main questions rather than touching upon everything con cerning our subject. The study begins with an introduction to the social and economic framework of Turkey in Chapter 1, in which emphasis is given to factors that bear upon the problems to be discussed in the following chapters.
