Book Description
Despite the diversity in income levels, languages, culture, resource endowments, and political systems, the countries of East Asia are more integrated now than they have ever been. Goods, money, and ideas are being traded across the region. East Asia is redefining itself from a collection of disparate nations that looked mainly to markets in the west, to a more self-reliant, innovative, and networked region. Countries in this region are strengthening ties with each other and seeking more strategic partnerships with the rest of the world. 'East Asian Visions' is a collection of essays that convey, firsthand, how some of the most influential thinkers in East Asia view these challenges. The writers are eminent policy makers, statesmen, and scholars. They write about how competition with the west has bred success; how crises in the region have provoked introspection; and how the rise of China is catalyzing change.

Book Description
The discourse on globalization has become polarized. Proponents consider globalization as the silver bullet for targeting growth in the world economy and for poor countries specifically, while opponents see it as the poisoned arrow of exploitation and impoverishment of the Third World. Splendidly edited, The Asymmetries of Globalization deals with the 'what' and 'how' but primarily with 'why' globalization has most often negative outcomes for developing countries. It breaks new ground in approaching globalization not only as trade commodities, but also as trade in positional goods ('decommodified trade.') The two novel and munificent forms of post-Ricardian decommodified trade, trade in services and trade in hard currency in the form of currency substitution, are sculpted in the introductory chapter as the foundation of the systematic asymmetries of globalization. The analytical approach of introducing 'positional goods' in the form of decommodified trade, in the discource on globalization, is original. It is also timely in a situation where the tail of trade in 'services' has grown enough to wag the traditional trade-in-commodities dog of globalization. The balance of the chapters in this volume constitute a tapestry of case studies that elaborate and empirically investigate the causes of systematic asymmetries of globalization. The book's appeal transcends economics to make it also highly useful to students across the disciplines of sociology and political science, especially in the fields of international political economy and the politics of international trade. It will certainly enlighten all those working in the general areas of globalization, poverty and economic development.

World Bank Discussion Paper No. 367. Many developing countries enforce seed regulations and other policies that obstruct private companies from operating and delivering new technology.

The papers and discussions identified reforms to speed the flow of private seed technology to these countries, with a particular focus on reforms and their impacts in Bangladesh, India, Peru, and Turkey.

Book Description
The story of tea in Vietnam is as enigmatic as the country itself. A land where tea plants grew spontaneously, where drinking tea was a national obsession, but where no serious attempts were made to take advantage of these natural phenomena. While tea in Vietnam today is dominated by large scale commodity production, it is the burgeoning artisan processing scene and specialty tea products which come under the spotlight in Vietnam Tea Tales. But it is more than a quest to discover interesting teas. It is a journey through the highways, byways, forests, and villages to the remotest corners of Vietnam’s mountainous borderlands. It is about tea-makers from different ethnicities who call the mountains their home, and the long-standing friendships that have been built with them. Not least, it is an appreciation of wild grown, majestic, ancient tea trees and the biodiversity rich environments in which they grow. In Vietnam Tea Tales, the authors unravel the mysteries of the past and draw on their personal experiences from a decade or more of tea sourcing to explore the development of the present-day tea landscape. From pre-historic origins, the story of tea in Vietnam has been shaped by Chinese domination, feudal dynasties, European colonisation, and a long struggle for independence. The modern tea industry only emerging after escaping the constraints of Confucian thought, haphazard colonial attempts to replicate British and Dutch success, and decades of war, isolation and turmoil. Vietnam Tea Tales will satisfy the curiosity of anyone interested in learning about tea from Vietnam or knowing more about the world of tea in general. So, switch on the kettle and read on ….
