1WORLD BANK PUBLICATIONS JULY–DECEMBER 2009

In the course of the last two decades, the world has seen significant development progress. However, substantial challenges remain. Climate change will add to the many str esses faced by developing nations. Climate-smart development policies are needed to tackle the challenges of adaptation and mitigation and exploit the new competitive landscape created by climate change. But an adequate, achievable and equitable solution to c limate change also requires a climate framework that meets the needs and concerns of developing countries. Access to the necessary financial and innovation instruments is critical.

In the crowded field of climate change reports, the World Development Report 2010 will uniquely:

• emphasize development• take an integrated look at adaptation and

mitigation, focusing on the competing demands for land, water and energy

• present evidence that the elements of a global deal exist

• highlight opportunities in the changing competitive landscape and how to seize them

• propose policy solutions grounded in analytic work and in the context of the politic al economy of reform

Doing Business 2010 updates all 10 sets of indic ators, 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.

Agricultural Land RedistributionToward Greater ConsensusEdited by Hans P. Binswanger-Mkhize, Camille Bourguignon, and Rogier J. E. van den Brink

Despite 250 years of land reform all over the world, important land inequalities remain, especially in Latin America and

Southern Africa. While there is near consensus on the need for redistribution in these countries, much controversy persists around how to redistribute land peacefully and legally, often blocking progress on implementation. This book focuses on the “how” of land redistribution in order to forge greater consensus among land reform practitioners and enable them to make better choices on the mechanisms of land reform. Reviews and case studies describe and analyze the alternative implementation options.AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT SERIES

Awakening Africa’s Sleeping GiantProspects for Commercial Agriculture in the Guinea Savannah Zone and Beyond

This book explores the feasibility of restoring international competitiveness and growth in African agriculture through the identification of products

and production systems that can underpin rapid development of a competitive commercial agriculture. Based on a careful examination of the factors that contr ibuted to the successes achieved in Brazil and Thailand, as well as comparative analysis of evidence obtained through detailed case studies of three African countries—Mozambique, Nigeria, and Zambia—the authors argue that oppor tunities abound for farmers in Africa to regain international competitiveness, especially in light of projected stronger world markets for agricultural commodities over the long term.

The Sunken BillionsThe Economic Justification for Fisheries Reform

Economic losses in marine fisheries resulting from poor management,

inefficiencies, and overfishing add up to US$50 billion per year. Taken over the last three decades, these losses total over US$2 trillion, a figure roughly equivalent to the GDP of Italy. The Sunken Billions argues that well-managed marine fisheries could turn most of these losses into sustainable economic benefits for millions of fishers and coastal communities.

Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist FinancingA Practical Guide for Bank SupervisorsBy Pierre-Laurent Chatain, John McDowell, Cedric Mousset, Paul Allan Schott, and Emile van der Does de Willebois

Money laundering and terrorist financing are serious crimes that affect not only those persons directly involved, but the economy as a whole. According to international standards, every bank has the obligation to know its customers and to report suspicious transactions. Although these obligations sound straightforward, they have proved challenging to implement. It is here that a supervisor can play a crucial role in helping supervised institutions; first, in understanding the full extent of the obligations of Customer D ue Diligence and Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR) and, second, in ensuring that those obligations are not just words on paper but are applied in practice. Effective supervision is key to the success of a country’s AML/CFT system.By providing examples of good practices, this book aims to help countries better conform to international standards. In this regard, this handbook is specifically designed for bank supervisors.May 2009. 304 pages. Stock no. C17912 (ISBN: 978-0-8213-7912-7). US$39.95

Distortions to Agricultural IncentivesA Global Perspective, 1955-2007Edited by Kym Anderson and associates

The fifth and last volume in the series focuses on distortions to agricultural incentives from a global perspective. It brings together the first-ever

comprehensive and consistent set of estimates of the changing extent of those distortions over the past half-century. Those estimates show when each country’s reforms began, how rapidly and completely they have progressed, how much of the improved incentives for farmers is due to reform of agricultural as compared with non-agricultural policies, which have ‘overshot’ to become agricultural protectionists like many high-income countries, and to what extent an anti-trade bias remains. Also provided are analytical narratives of the evolution of farm versus non-farm policies in each of dozens of countries, covering in aggregate around 90 percent of agricultural output and 95 percent of the world economy. Such a comprehensive coverage exposes also the different degrees to which the key agricultural product markets have been and still are distorted. The book concludes with new estimates of the effects of reforms since the early 1980s and of current policies – agricultural vs industrial – on such things as global goods mar kets, national economic welfare, and net farm incomes in all the major de veloping and high-income countries.A COPUBLICATION WITH PALGRAVE MACMILLAN UK*

The Political Economy of the World BankThe Early YearsBy Michele Alacevich

This book is a fascinating study of economic history and history of economic thought. It narrates the history of the World Bank and the establishment of its role as leading development institution.

The book analyzes the complexities of the Bank’s first steps towards economic and social development in poorer nations, and helps the reader understand some foundational questions about development that are still of great relevance today. The lesson that can be drawn f rom this book is that the World Bank and the developing countries as they are today are the result of their history—a history of constant transformation and adjustment to the ever-changing challenges of development. History shows paths of development, and as such it should not be ignored by today’s policymakers.A COPUBLICATION WITH STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS

Courage and HopeStories from Teachers Living with HIV in Sub-Saharan AfricaBy Donald Bundy, David Aduda, Alice Woolnough, Lesley Drake, and Stella Manda

Courage and Hope gives voice to the real life experiences of 12 HIV-positive teachers, five of whom are women,

from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania (both Mainland and Zanzibar) and Zambia. The teachers recount their experiences of discovering their HIV-positive status and how this has affected them in their families, their communities, and their

professional lives. Their stories are documented by journalists, emphasizing the human dimension.The voices of these teachers suggest that a number of obstacles are commonly faced by teachers living with HIV. Paramount among them are stigma and discrimination, both within their families and communities as well as their workplaces and in society more generally. The difficulties of overcoming stigma and discrimination are further exacerbated by a failure to ensure confidentiality in the workplace. Each teacher presents a unique story demonstrating a wide range of challenges as well as insights and successes and, individually as well as collectively, displaying extraordinary courage and hope.June 2009. 120 pages.

Sustainable Land Management for Climate Change Mitigation and AdaptationThe objective of this book is to show that sustained inv estment in sustainable land management (SLM) practices is good business for adaptation to and mitigation of c limate change. SLM is local, and efforts to adapt to c limate change must also be local and site-specific to be successful. Hence the report is aimed at highlighting SLM’s potential contribution to climate change adaptation and

mitigation in developing countries. The report demonstrates that the need to scale up SLM investments is good not only for land, but for climate action as well. It further synthesizes the SLM-related adaptation and mitigation win-wins while noting the crucial on-the-ground operational trade-offs.ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SERIES


Environmental Flows in Water Resources Policies, Plans, and ProjectsFindings and RecommendationsBy Rafik Fatehali Hirji and Richard Davis

This book advances the understanding and integration in operational terms of environmental flows (water allocation)

into integrated water resources management (IWRM). Based on an in-depth analysis of 17 global water policy, plan, and project case studies, it addresses the highly contested complexities of environmentally responsible water resources development, broadens the global perspectives on “equitable sharing” and “sustainable use” of water resources, and expands the definitions of “benefits sharing” in high-risk water resources development. The book fills a major gap in knowledge on IWRM and forms an impor tant contribution to the ongoing discourse on climate change adaptation in the water sector.ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SERIES

The economic composition of the two megacities differs significantly and the future sources of competitive advantage also lie in different areas although there is some overlap. Shanghai with its diverse industrial base is the industrial powerhouse of China. Its strongest growth prospects still lie in activities associated with manufacturing industry buttressed by improvements in the technological and innovation capabilities of domestic firms and supported by the deepening of business ser vices. In contrast, Beijing’s future prospects are more closely tied to research intensive activities and the services industry.

Infrastructure plays a key role in fostering growth and productivity and has been linked to improved earnings, health, and education levels for the poor. Yet Latin America and the Caribbean are currently faced with a dangerous combination of relatively low public and private infrastructure investment. Those investment levels must increase, and it can be done. If Latin American and Caribbean governments are to increase infrastructure investment in politically feasible ways, it is critical that they learn from experience and have an accurate idea of future impacts. This book contributes to this aim by producing what is arguably the most comprehensive privatization impact analysis in the region to date, drawing on an extremely comprehensive dataset.LATIN AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT FORUM
