    The Political Economy of Regulatory Reform : Telecoms in the Southern Mediterranean (2003)

    Abstract: WTO membership and closer integration with the European Union in the context of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership are reinforcing pressures on MEDA countries to improve their competitive position. Privatisation, regulatory reform, and the creation of independent regulatory agencies in telecoms are key elements of this reform package for a number of reasons: the direct effects that divestiture receipts and foreign investment flows may have, the indirect contribution of an efficient service sector to the rest of the economy, and the positive externalities of well functioning institutions on the rest of society. By considering such dynamics in five MEDA countries — Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Turkey — that together account for more than two thirds of the total 2000 GDP of Middle East and North Africa, this paper shows the role that the institutional endowment plays in constraining the reform path. Three of the countries have been characterised until recently by a quasi ...

    Abstract: In this collection of essays, renowned authors from various disciplines have drawn on supply chain analysis and industry studies to elucidate how NICT — new information and communications technologies — like mobile telephony and the Internet have been affecting low-income communities and small entrepreneurs from Bangladesh to South Africa. The general conclusion is sobering. NICT is no panacea for low productivity and profitability in emerging countries hampered by weak infrastructure, limited managerial expertise, poor quality control, and severe market distortions. Companies anywhere must nonetheless be “wired” to have any chance of competing in the global marketplace and perhaps reach hitherto inaccessible customers.

    Le nouveau régionalisme en Afrique subsaharienne : L'arbre cache-t-il une forêt ? (2002)

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. The New Regionalism in Sub-Saharan Africa: More than Meets the Eye?
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: • En renforçant la confiance, l’intégration régionale en Afrique subsaharienne devient un instrument de promotion de l’investissement privé. Atteindre ces objectifs politiques exige des priorités claires et faciles à suivre. • Une harmonisation régionale des politiques, des projets d’infrastructures conjoints permettront d’ouvrir plus largement l’accès aux marchés mondiaux, ’accroître les flux de capitaux et de stimuler les échanges entre pays africains. Dans tous ces domaines, des réformes politiques intérieures sont nécessaires pour attirer les investissements régionaux. • Les acteurs politiques les plus menacés par l’intégration régionale risquent de s’y opposer. La communauté internationale doit soutenir les efforts de réforme des dirigeants africains et les aider à vaincre les résistances et le scepticisme. • La suppression des obstacles commerciaux restants — agriculture et obstacles non tarifaires compris — est de loin le geste le plus important que les pays de l’OCDE peuvent faire pour soutenir le redressement du continent africain.

    Abstract: • Regional integration in sub-Saharan Africa is becoming a vehicle for enhancing private investment through confidence building. Setting clear and easy-to-track priorities is key to achieving these policy goals. • Regional policy harmonisation or joint infrastructure projects are needed to improve access to world markets, increase capital flows and stimulate economic exchanges between African countries. In all these areas, policy reforms at the domestic level are necessary to attract regionwide investment. • Political actors that have most to lose may pose obstacles to regional integration. The international community should support reform efforts and assist reform-minded leaders in overcoming resistance and scepticism. • The removal of remaining trade barriers — extending to agriculture and non-tariff barriers — is by far the single largest contribution that OECD countries can make to sustain African recovery.

    Regional Integration Experience in the Eastern African Region (2001)

    Abstract: It is relatively easy to assess the progress, achievements, and possible future direction of an existing regional integration pact. However, evaluating the prospects for a successful revival of the East African Community (EAC), a regional integration scheme that collapsed in 1977, is arguably a more difficult task. This paper examines recent attempts to revive the EAC, especially as it concerns the harmonisation of macroeconomic policies, infrastructure services, and movement of people, goods and services. Despite the hopes of the different partner countries, it appears there are no easy solutions to the problems posed by regionalism in Eastern Africa, especially when one considers that the problems that led to the EAC’s collapse during the 1970s still exist today. Moreover, partners now have many options for multiple memberships: many East African nations are already members of COMESA, and SADC includes one East African member. The paper argues that the presence of these new ...

    Series Statement: OECD Development Centre Working Papers no.164
    Keywords: Development
    Abstract: In this paper, we analyse the potential contribution of the Internet and its commercial application to the development process in poor countries. In historical perspective, the Internet has diffused at a far faster rate than earlier generations of communications technology: from 1990 to early 2000, the estimated number of Internet users grew more than tenfold to roughly 300 million, affecting the way in which people communicate with each other, acquire information, learn, do business, and interact culturally. Our particular focus is on the opportunities e-commerce offers to small-scale entrepreneurs in developing countries and the challenges they face in exploiting e-commerce’s potential. There is a risk that a “digital divide” will emerge, reinforcing existing income and wealth inequalities within and between countries. Yet, a major potential benefit of globalisation is the freer movement of technology, including information and communication technology (ICT), across borders. In ...
