The remarkable speed at which microcredit has expanded around the world in the last three decades has piqued the curiosity of practitioners and theorists alike. By developing innovative ways of making credit available to the poor, the idea of microcredit has challenged many traditional assumptions about both poverty reduction strategies and financial markets. While this has encouraged new theorising about how microcredit works, the practice of microcredit has itself evolved, often in unpredictable ways, outpacing the development of theory.
The Theory and Practice of Microcredit aims to remedy this imbalance, arguing that a proper understanding of the evolution of practice is essential both for developing theories that are relevant for the real world and for adopting policies that can better realize the full potential of microcredit. By drawing upon their first-hand knowledge of the nature of this evolution in Bangladesh, the birthplace of microcredit, the authors have pushed the frontiers of current knowledge through a rich blend of theoretical and empirical analysis. The book breaks new grounds on a wide range of topics including: the habit-forming nature of credit repayment; the institutional strength and community-based role of microfinance institutions; the relationships between microcredit and informal credit markets; the pattern of long-term participation in microcredit programmes and the variety of loan use; the scaling up of microenterprises beyond subsistence; the "missing middle" in the credit market; and the prospects of linking micro-entrepreneurship with economic development.
The book will be of interest to researchers, development practitioners and university students of Development Economics, Rural Development, or Rural Finance, as well as to public intellectuals.

Cash Transfers, for all their notable successes, have been criticised for their limited ability to move poor households to provide sustainable routes out of poverty. This book draws on original qualitative research by leading scholars and development policy experts from a range of disciplines to examine whether cash transfers can have transformative spillover effects on individuals, households and communities. Case studies from Africa, the Middle East and Latin America show that, while there are limits to the sustainability of the transformations brought about by Cash Transfers, they can bring about changes affecting the social and political integration of very poor households. With chapters on Psycho-Social Wellbeing, Social Accountability and Social Capital, this comprehensive volume casts new light on the ongoing debates over the significance of the Cash Transfer 'revolution'.
This book was originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Development Studies.

Автор: Mark Roberts, Frederico Gil Sander, Sailesh Tiwari Название: Time to ACT: Realizing Indonesia`s Urban Potential ISBN: 1464813892 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781464813894 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 41760.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Indonesia has urbanized rapidly since its independence in 1945, profoundly changing its economic geography and giving rise to a diverse array of urban places. These places range from the bustling metropolis of Jakarta to rapidly emerging urban centers in hitherto largely rural parts of the country. Although urbanization has produced considerable benefits for many Indonesians, its potential has only been partially realized.Time to ACT: Realizing Indonesia's Urban Potential explores the extent to which urbanization inIndonesia has delivered in terms of prosperity, inclusiveness, and livability. The report takes a broad view of urbanization's performance in these three key areas, covering both the monetary and nonmonetary aspects of welfare. It analyzes the fundamental reforms that can help the country to more fully achieve widespread and sustainable benefits, and it introduces a new policy framework—the ACT framework—to guide policy making. This framework emphasizes the three policy principles of Augment, Connect, and Target:• Augment the provision and quality of infrastructure and basic services across urbanand rural locations• Connect places and people to jobs and opportunities and services• Target lagging areas and marginalized groups through well-designed place-based policies,as well as thoughtful urban planning and design.Using this framework, the report provides policy recommendations differentiated by four typesof place that differ in both their economic characteristics and the challenges that they face—multidistrict metro areas, single-district metro areas, nonmetro urban areas, and nonmetrorural areas.In addition to its eight chapters, Time to ACT: Realizing Indonesia's Urban Potential includes four spotlights on strengthening the disaster resilience of Indonesian cities, the nexus betweenurbanization and human capital, the "invisible" crisis of wastewater management, and the potential for smart cities in Indonesia.If Indonesia continues to urbanize in line with global historical standards, more than 70 percent of its population will be living in towns and cities by the time the country celebrates the centenary of its independence in 2045. Accordingly, how Indonesia manages this continued expansion of its urban population—and the mounting congestion forces that expansion brings—will do much to determine whether the country reaches the upper rungs of the global ladder of prosperity, inclusiveness, and livability.
