Similar solutions for similar problems: harmonising energy trade and investment policies and strategies in the East African communityKikonyogo, Joseph Mary January 2009 (has links)
Magister Legum - LLM / Sustainable Energy (oil, gas and electricity) plays an important role in advancing productive capacity and increasing economic growth and sustainable development. In order to achieve this, there must be effective trade and investment in energy. Currently, there is relatively low regional and international trade in energy in the East African Community (EAC). Local and foreign direct investment flowing into the EAC is still very low in spite of a number of measures, such as, investment protection guarantees, that have been taken to improve investment. Each of the five countries in the EAC has its own energy policy, as well as a trade and investment policy and strategy. For some the policies are clearly stated; for others they are presumed. However, these policies are not effective. Without effective policies on trade and investment protection and promotion, the EAC will have minimum benefits in terms of terms of trade, investment inflows and sustainable economic development. The EAC is a customs union with an ultimate aim of attaining a political federation. Before this happens, there is need to have effective but also harmonised trade and investment policies and strategies. Adoption of comprehensive harmonised trade and investment policies and strategies shall provide a guideline to the Governments, the trade and investment agencies and other relevant stakeholders to follow in order to attain the ideals, objectives and spirit of the Community. This research, therefore, aims at proposing effective and harmonised trade and investment policies and strategies that Member States should pursue in order to develop the EAC into a viable integrated energy trade and investment zone. The study involves a review of the current policies, strategies, laws, regulations and practices in trade and investment in energy and a discussion of how the situation can be improved. The research raises many suggestions on conservation of energy as well as use of alternative sources . / South Africa

Policy determinants for FDIs in South AfricaAregbeshola, Rafiu Adewale 31 October 2008 (has links)
The effectiveness of South Africa's policy framework towards attracting FDI has been questionable. Determined to redress the instabilities created by the apartheid regime, the Government of National Unity (GNU) commissioned the Macroeconomic and Research Group (MERG), and charged it to devise appropriate policy reforms and intervention mechanism to address the shortcomings.
This research critically interrogates the effectiveness of government's policy reforms towards attracting FDI, especially the impacts of the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP), the Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) initiative and the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative of South Africa (ASGISA).
This research concludes that the policy determinants for inflow FDI have been self-defeating. Also, it was found that necessary reforms would have to be conducted to correct some of the shortcomings of the macroeconomic policies, as a way of creating an environment that is capable of attracting greenfield investments (FDI) to South Africa. / Business Management / M.

Políticas territoriais do turismo: investimentos no Polo Costa dos Coqueirais em Sergipe, BrasilSantos, Mary Nadja Lima 16 February 2009 (has links)
Political territorial dispute underlie in great proportions the universe of knowledge and the
power comprised by both the State and the market. They determine space, protect the territory
(sovereign) however, they (de)territorialize whenever their interests are at game. The
globalized world context converges to the local, except when this territory itself produces the
capital which the system rules. Therefore, this research is located in the Northeast of Brazil,
particularly at Polo Costa dos Coqueirais region, in Sergipe’s coast cut by rivers, with 163km
of beaches, dunes and its unique vegetation composing, through its landscape and territory
identity, perspective to social, economic and environmental development. This research aims
at analyzing the tourism public territorial policies and the role of the State in the investments
at Polo Costa dos Coqueirais’ in order to reduce poverty in Sergipe within the two last
decades. This study is supported by the methodological hermeneutic principles, participativeresearch
type, which is complemented by socioeconomics (quantitative) analysis instruments.
There is underlying this choice the dimension of phenomenology complement that defines the
path to be followed. This definition allowed to develop not only the strategies to elaborate
workshops, notebooks to gather document and field data; but also make use of forms and
interviews scripts to compose the workshops results. Besides that cartograms were built to
gather quantitative data in order to support this study. The substantiation of this thesis
consolidates into the following prior premises: ideological (State and Market); the ones that
represent tourism society (Polo Council) and pragmatic (community participation). As a
result of this relation emerge: (i) International agencies’ methodology, especially BID,that has
not been contributing to generate new achievements that lead to better income indicators to
the population affected. Fact that corroborates with the argument that the State’s engagement
with the social welfare and the lack of effective involvement of the society at conducting
tourism territory policies broaden the contradictory effects of tourism investments in the
Northeast by great investors; (ii) The bases for support and negotiation of those who
represent the Polo’s civil society appear contradictory as this influence in public tourism
policies efficiency, society does not keep its management power and this affects the advances
which were obtained by participation in tourism development. (iii) Investments in tourism
have caused different impacts over distinct communities that make Polo Costa dos Coqueirais.
PRODETUR/SE partially accomplishes what has been established by the resource investment
program of the multilateral agencies, especially concerning to BID, privileging the market
itself, once it is noticeable that there was some distinct improvement between coast regions, in
terms of tourism facilities to the South–Center part of the State. Thus, this study advances into
proposing a territory matrix of community tourism which embodies the effective citizenship
exercise as an essential element to establish, in local scale, a new project to develop tourism
activities in order to contribute to overcome poverty . / La dispute politique territoriale existe à grande échelle dans l'univers des savoirs et du pouvoir
constitué de l'État et du marché. Ceux-ci déterminent l'espace, le territoire (souverain), mais
font preuve de déterritorialisation quand cela arrange leurs intérêts. Ce contexte de monde
globalisé est à l'encontre de ce territoire excepté quand celui-ci est touristique et produis le
capital et cela est dans l'ordre de système. Cette étude se situe au Nordeste du Brésil,
particulièrement dans la région de Polo Costa dos Coqueirais, localisé sur le littoral
Sergipanais qui possède 163 km 2 de plages, entrecoupées de fleuves, de dunes et de
végétation singulière, composée à travers son paysage et son identité territoriale, des
perspectives de développement social, économique et environnemental. Nous nous proposons
d'analyser les politiques territoriales du tourisme et le rôle de l’État dans les investissements
de l’espace publique de Polo Costa dos coqueirais, et pour vaincre la pauvreté des deux
dernières décennies. Le soutien méthodologique est herméneutique, type recherche
participant, complété par les instruments de l’analyse socio-économiques (quantitatif). Il y a
dans ce choix une dimension de complémentarité avec la phénoménologie qui définit le
chemin à être parcouru. Cette décision a permis l’élaboration d’une matrice territoriale de
tourisme communautaire. Décision fondée du point de vue philosophique à travers la
Proposition d'utilisation Critique-Dialectique et des Dimentions de l'Espace-Temps. Ces
définitions ont permis de développer des stratégies pour l'élaboration des ateliers et des
cahiers qui enregistrent, les données documentées et celles du terrain ainsi que les formulaires
et rapports d'entretien qui viennent s'ajouter aux résultats des ateliers. En dehors de la
construction des cartogrammes et relevés de données quantitatives en fonction de l'étude. Les
propositions de la thèse ont été élaborées premierement à partir de : les idéologiques (État et
marché), celles qui représentent la société du tourisme (conseil de Polo) et les pragmatiques
(participation de la communauté). De cette relation propositive nous avons: (i) la
méthodologie des organismes internationaux, en particulier du BID, qui ne contribue pas à
gérer de nouveaux emplois visant à améliorer le revenu de la population. Ceci corrobore les
arguments de ce que la sortie de l'État et le manque effectif d'implication de la société dans la
conduite des politiques territoriales du tourisme finissent par amplifier les effets
contradictoires des investissements touristiques dans le nordeste, financé par les grands
investisseurs; (ii) les bases de soutien et de négociation de ceux qui représentent la société
civile de Polo apparaissent contradictoirement, dans la mesure que cette influence dans
efficacité des politiques publiques de tourisme, n'est pas approprié quant à la gestion de la
direction, et affecte les effets des avancées dans cette participation pour le développement du
tourisme. (iii) les investissements dans le secteur du tourisme ont eu un impact différent sur
les communautés qui composent Polo Costa dos Coqueirais. Le PRODETUR/SE effectue
partiellement ce qui a été établi dans le programme d'investissement d'aides des agences
multilatérales, spécialement en ce qui concerne le BID servant ainsi le marché, une fois que
l'on voit une amélioration entre les régions du littoral, du point de vue de l'infrastructure
touristique pour le centre sud de l'État. Par conséquent, l’État avance une proposition de
matrice territoriale du tourisme communautaire qui incorpore l’effet de citoyenneté, élément
fondamental, pour établir, à l'échelle locale, un nouveau projet de développement des activités
touristiques qui contribuent à triompher de la pauvreté. / A disputa política territorial se dá em larga escala no universo dos saberes e do poder
constituído do Estado e do mercado. Esses determinam o espaço, protegem o território
(soberania), mas ao mesmo tempo desterritorializam quando dos seus interesses. Esse
contexto de mundo globalizado vem de encontro ao local, exceto quando esse território do
turismo produz o capital e está na ordem do sistema. Dessa forma, este estudo situa-se no
Nordeste do Brasil, particularmente na região do Polo Costa dos Coqueirais, localizada no
litoral sergipano, possui 163 km² de praias, entrecortada por rios, dunas e vegetação singular
compondo, através de sua paisagem e identidade territorial, perspectivas de desenvolvimento
social, econômico e ambiental. Propõe-se analisar as políticas territoriais de turismo e o papel
do Estado nos investimentos do espaço público do Polo Costa dos Coqueirais para superação
da pobreza, nas duas últimas décadas, em Sergipe. O apoio metodológico consiste no método
hermenêutico, tipo pesquisa-participante, complementada pelos instrumentos de análise
socioeconômicos (quantitativo). Há nessa escolha uma dimensão de complementariedade com
a fenomenologia, que definem o caminho a ser trillado. Essa decisão permitiu desenvolver
estratégias para elaboração das oficinas e cadernos que registrassem o apanhado documental e
de campo. Formulários e roteiros de entrevistas vieram se somar aos resultados das oficinas,
além da construção dos cartogramas em função do estudo. A comprovação da tese alicerça-se
nas seguintes premissas: ideológicas (Estado e mercado), as que representam a sociedade do
turismo (Conselho do Polo) e pragmáticas (participação da comunidade). Dessa relação
propositiva, tem-se: (i) A metodologia dos organismos internacionais, em especial do BID,
não vem contribuindo para gerar novos empreendimentos que visem à melhoria nos
indicadores de renda da população afetada. Isso corrobora com os argumentos de que o
envolvimento mínimo do Estado com o bem-estar social e a falta efetiva da sociedade na
condução das políticas territoriais do turismo, acabam por ampliar os efeitos contraditórios
dos investimentos turísticos em Sergipe, capitaneados pelos grandes investidores. (ii) As
bases de apoio e de negociação dos que representam a sociedade civil do Polo aparecem
contraditoriamente, na medida em que esta influencia na eficácia das políticas públicas de
turismo, mas não se apropria como gestora de governança e afeta nos avanços tidos nessa
participação para com o desenvolvimento do turismo. (iii) Os investimentos no setor de
turismo têm impactado de forma diferenciada as diferentes comunidades que compõem o Polo
Costa dos Coqueirais. O PRODETUR/SE cumpre parcialmente o que foi estabelecido no
programa de investimentos de recursos das agências multilaterais, especialmente no tocante
ao BID, atendendo assim ao mercado, uma vez que se percebe uma melhoria diferenciada
entre as regiões do litoral, do ponto de vista da infraestrutura turística para o Centro-Sul do
Estado. Por conseguinte, o estudo avança em uma proposta de matriz territorial do turismo
comunitário, que incorpora o efetivo exercício da cidadania, elemento fundamental para se
estabelecer, em escala local, um novo projeto de desenvolvimento das atividades turísticas
que contribua para superação da pobreza.
