Book Description
Esta guía práctica está dirigida a los miembros del parlamento y a los asesores parlamentarios, que son considerados "agentes de cambio". Proporciona una descripción general completa y sistemática del papel que ambos pueden desempeñar en la creación de “entornos propicios” fiables, coherentes y transparentes en las diversas áreas relacionadas con la inversión en agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios. La guía no lo hace a través de un catálogo de instrucciones, sino mediante notas de orientación, ejemplos de buenas prácticas e indicaciones muy concretas. No tiene como objetivo proporcionar un plan de acción que deba implementar cada parlamento, sino que establece las etapas clave de los procesos y mecanismos que se deben considerar al momento de promover la inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios.La Parte 1 de esta guía presenta los Principios para la Inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios y explica:por qué hay una necesidad urgente de aumentar la inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios; qué es la inversión responsable en la agricultura y los sistemas alimentarios; y cómo puede contribuir al logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y de los planes de desarrollo nacionales. En la Parte 2, a través de notas de orientación específicas, se guía a los parlamentarios y a los asesores mediante acciones concretas que pueden implementar en sus países para mejorar y aumentar las inversiones.A fin de apoyar a los parlamentarios y los asesores en la creación de asociaciones efectivas con otras partes interesadas, como otros parlamentarios, el sector privado, la sociedad civil y el mundo académico, la Parte 3 proporciona mensajes clave personalizados que pueden usarse ad hoc en reuniones, conferencias y otros tipos de comunicaciones, comoinformes, comunicados de prensa y redes sociales. Incluye explicaciones útiles sobre cómo los datos y las estadísticas a nivel de país pueden respaldar las actividades de promoción y comunicación.

Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book Description
The Global Investment Competitiveness report presents new insights and evidence on drivers of foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries, and FDI’s role in development. The report’s survey of 750 executives of multinational corporations finds that a business-friendly legal and regulatory environment is a key driver of investment decisions in developing countries, along with political stability, security, and macroeconomic conditions. The report’s topic-specific chapters explore the potential of FDI to create new growth opportunities for local firms, assess the power of tax holidays and other fiscal incentives to attract FDI, analyze characteristics of FDI originating in developing countries, and examine the experience of foreign investors in countries affected by conflict and fragility. Three key features of this Global Investment Competitiveness report distinguish it from other publications on FDI. First, its insights are based on a combination of first-hand perspectives of investors, extensive analysis of available data and evidence, and international good practices in investment policy design and implementation. Secondly, rather than exploring broad FDI trends, the report provides detailed and unique analysis of FDI depending on its motivation, sector, geographic origin and destination, and phase of investment. Thirdly, the report offers practical and actionable recommendations to policymakers in developing countries wishing to reform their business climates for increased investment competitiveness. As such, the report is meant to complement other knowledge products of the World Bank Group focused even more explicitly on country-level data, detailed reform diagnostics, and presentation of best practices. We are confident this report will bring value and fresh perspectives to a variety of audiences. To governments and policymakers, including investment promotion professionals, the report offers direct insights into the role of government policies and actions in investors’ decision-making. To foreign investors and site location consultants, the report provides information on FDI trends and drivers across sectors and geographies. For academic audiences, the new datasets on investment incentives and FDI motivations enables opportunities for additional research and analysis. Lastly, for development assistance providers and other stakeholders, the report highlights key approaches for maximizing FDI’s benefits for development.

Book Description
In today's "global village", nearly 450 million people speak English while another 350 million speak Spanish. The United States alone, with its more than 22 million Hispanic Americans, is now considered by many to be a bilingual society. As the practice of law and the resolution of legal issues, to a great extent, is all about precise communication, the impact of this on legal and business professionals is obvious - Spanish/English, English/Spanish translations are fast becoming an indispensable component of any thriving law practice or business, be it a small company or a multinational corporation. Translations are now routinely required for trials, contracts, real estate and financial transactions, and in many other situations. Clearly then, the need for a comprehensive bilingual reference such as this one has never been greater. Wiley's English/Spanish and Spanish/English Legal Dictionary offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of more than 40,000 essential words and phrases spanning all legal disciplines and subdisciplines including construction, real estate, insurance, business, trial, environmental law, intellectual property, family law, and more. It was written by a professional translator in collaboration with an advisory committee comprising attorneys from some of the most prominent firms in the international legal community. Featuring an extremely user-friendly format, the Dictionary was designed for quick reference. It directs you instantly to the precise equivalent you need without first "rerouting" you through a maze of other irrelevant terms and phrases. Gender neutral equivalents are provided, and in cases where the nongender neutral term is the norm, both are given.Wiley's English/Spanish and Spanish/English Legal Dictionary puts all important English and Spanish legal terms at the fingertips of attorneys, businesspeople, paralegals, and law students. It belongs on the shelves of law firms, libraries, businesses, and international agencies. It is also an essential communications tool for translators, interpreters, and civil servants.
