SALES #: 01.III.B.2 Rev.1 ISBN: 9211261333 PAGES: 70 PRICE: $25.00 DESCRIPTION: Expanded Local Governments can and should transform state shrinking into positive state restructuring, but only if certain supporting conditions are present. A clear legal framework, independent revenue raising authority, the professionalization of local government management, genuine participation, and the flexibility to engage in a range of entrepreneurial (and para - entrepreneurial) activities are among the crucial requisites. National Governments, serious about effective decentralization, can help create these conditions. Then, and only then, is it sensible to expect Local Governments to take on more significant responsibilities for meeting the economic and social needs of their people. This publication discusses the prerequisites and conditions for decentralization to promote Human Development.

TITLE: Reforming Energy Subsidies: An Explanatory Summary of the Issues and Challenges in Removing or Modifying Subsidies on Energy that Undermine the Pursuit of Sustainable Development LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: 02.III.D.51 ISBN: 9280722085 PAGES: 32 PRICE: $10.00 DESCRIPTION: Subsidies on the supply and use of energy have emerged as a major theme in international discussions and negotiations aimed at promoting sustainable development. Energy subsidies matter, both because they are big and because they affect in wide-ranging and diverse ways the economy, social welfare and the environment - the three dimensions of sustainability. Reforming energy subsidies must, therefore, be a central plank of government efforts to promote energy systems that strike a better balance between these three dimensions. This booklet draws on recent work on energy-subsidy reform carried out by UNEP and the International Energy Agency. It summarizes in non-technical language the central issues related to energy subsidies and key messages for policy-makers looking to reform subsidy programmes.

SALES #: 95.II.F.98 ISBN: 9211192544 SYMBOL: ST/ESCAP/1438 PAGES: 94pp. PRICE: $25.00 DESCRIPTION: In an attempt to encourage financial institutions in the ESCAP region to cooperate in establishing a regional institutional framework for export financing, this publication reviews the current regional policies and institutional arrangements for export finance and export credit guarantees.

TITLE: Regional Cooperation in the Twenty-first Century on Flood Control and Management in Asia and the Pacific LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: 99.II.F.75 ISBN: 9211199468 SYMBOL: ST/ESCAP/1948 PAGES: 232pp. PRICE: $35.00 DESCRIPTION: Floods continue to be one of the most severe annual disasters, particularly in Asia. The intensity of flood disasters appears to have increased in the region in the past decade, especially during the past few years. This publication discusses the process adopted for the formulation of a conceptual framework involving effective regional cooperation based on three main components: a review of flood control and management experiences in the region; the experience of regional cooperation and trends at the regional and international levels; and the current strategic planning techniques. In addition, case studies are presented on development and achievements in flood control and management in Thailand; the upper Parramatta River Catchment Trust in Australia; the Klang River Basin in Malaysia; flood control along the Mississippi in the United States; and new developments in flood control in the Rhine river in Germany.

TITLE: Regional Integration and the Issue of Choosing an Appropiate Exchange-rate Regime in Latin America SERIES: Macro-economy of Development No.: 14 LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: 02.II.G.86 ISBN: 9211213541 SYMBOL: LC/L.1732-P PAGES: 52 PRICE: $10.00 DESCRIPTION: Behind the discussion on optimal exchange-rate regimes lies the need to achieve external and internal equilibrium, and thus create an appropriate macroeconomic climate for sustained growth and development in Latin America and the Caribbean. Subregional cooperation offers both an intermediate option and a more coherent reference for the exchange-rate regimes in Latin America and the Caribbean. It provides the missing link for a concrete institutional building process on which macroeconomic sustainability could be founded. This paper presents a cooperative alternative to the national corner solutions of full dollarization or pure free floating. The solution is to create a set of incentives operating in a strong and institutionalized system of checks and balances at the regional level. This cooperative arrangement would bind national policy-making to a greater goal of regional macroeconomic coordination, and avoid that circumstantial problems may affect the long-term goal of good fiscal and monetary management. TITLE: Regional Interdependencies and Macroeconomic Crises Notes on Mercosur SERIES: Studies and Perspectives No.: 5 LANGUAGE: E.

Macroeconomic turbulence is not a novelty for Argentina, Brazil and their partners, but it has shown different features in recent years, particularly concerning the strength and nature of regional spillover. This paper reviews aspects of the recent behaviour of the economies of the area and comments on the characteristics of the macroeconomic interdependencies, and analyses circumstances that have conditioned macroeconomic coordination within the region. Finally, it considers some policy options for regional cooperation in crisis situations. TITLE: Regional Mechanisms and International Security in Latin America LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: 97.III.A.9 ISBN: 9280809679 SYMBOL: UNUP-967 PAGES: 172pp. PRICE: $14.95 DESCRIPTION: This publication offers a new perspective on the contemporary debate in the area of international security in Latin America and the Caribbean. It examines many questions such as: Does the end of the Cold War modify the US interests in Latin America in the field of security? Should existing mechanisms of collective security in the region be strengthened? Or should we find alternatives? How far is a shared agenda for security, not only with the United States but also between the countries in Latin America itself, and among them and the Caribbean, possible or desirable? Without a doubt, this publication offers very interesting reading and insight. TITLE: Regional Peacekeepers: The Paradox of Russian Peacekeeping LANGUAGE: E.

SALES #: 02.III.D.21 ISBN: 9280721054 PAGES: 52 PRICE: $20.00 DESCRIPTION: The ecosystem approach to the management of oceans and their resources was consolidated in Agenda 21. Practical application of this approach is still in early stages of development by regional organizations for fisheries, and for the marine and coastal environment. This publication contains a brief description of marine Regional Fishery Bodies (RFBs) and the Regional Seas Conventions (RSCs) noting the origins, status, geographic coverage and basis for consideration of the ecosystem approach by each.

It is suggested that as ecosystem considerations and indicator frameworks are increasingly factored into fisheries management, the functionalities of RFBs and RSCs will need to be adapted in a practical, cost effective way to meet future needs. Concrete suggestions are made for options that may lead to enhanced cooperation on ecosystem-based fishery management.
