Asian Development Outlook 2012 Supplement: Data is Mixed, but
Asia Continues Steady Economic Growth, December 2012.
According to this Supplement's findings, the surging economies
of Southeast Asia have been a bright spot in an otherwise
subdued 2012 growth performance in developing Asia, but the
broader region should still pick up steam in 2013. Mixed third
quarter data broadly support the forecasts in October’s Asian
Development Outlook 2012 Update for developing Asia, with
downside developments slightly outweighing positive events... |

Pacific Economic Monitor, December 2012.
Global economic prospects remain weak due to persistent fiscal
and banking difficulties in the Eurozone, coupled with emerging
slowdowns in developing economies. However, the impact of this
sluggishness on Pacific economies has, so far, been limited to
declines in agriculture and forestry export earnings. Domestic
infrastructure spending is seen as driving fluctuations in
growth in the larger resource exporting economies - Papua New
Guinea (PNG) and Timor-Leste. Tourism to the Pacific generally
remains robust. Growth in Australia - the region’s leading
economic anchor - remains strong despite depressed global prices
for its commodity exports... |

The Quiet Revolution in Staple Food Value Chains: Enter the
Dragon, the Elephant, and the Tiger, Published 2012.
The study has several broad strategic implications. First, there
is no “silver bullet” for the challenges facing staples value
chains in the region, although individual changes like
technology changes can have powerful knock-on effects in the
chain. Rather, a suite of policy and program measures is needed
at various levels of the supply chain in order to stimulate the
efficiency and competitiveness of expanding staples markets.
Even small reductions in margins can lead to large benefits for
producers and consumers... |

Focusing on the Asia-Pacific region, this volume surveys trends

pressure for new models of TVET provision is the rapid pace of
technological change, demand for a work force which is highly

that calls for higher order skills and lifelong learning... |

The Persistence of Current Account Balances and its
Determinants: The Implications for Global Rebalancing, December
2012.
This paper examines the statistical nature of the persistency of
current account balances and its determinants. With the
assumption that stationary current account series ensures the
long-run budget constraint while countries may experience "local
non-stationarity" in current account balances, the authors
examine the dynamics of current account balances across a panel
of 70 countries. |

Published 2012. What have been the local

continuity with Suharto's New Order, arguing that under the new
rules, old elites have used money and intimidation to capture
elected office. Studies detail the widespread practice of "money
politics," in which candidates exchange patronage for support
from voters and parties. Yet significant variation characterizes
Indonesia's local politics, which suggests the need for an
approach that differentiates contrasting power arrangements... |

Evidence of a Global Supply Chain, November 2012.
Evidence from interconnected firms in Indonesia, Thailand,

spillover effects between downstream and upstream firms in terms
of international standard certification. The degree of product

Historical Sources of Institutional Trajectories in Economic

This essay provides a game-theoretic, endogenous view of
institutions, and then applies the idea to identify the sources
of institutional trajectories of economic development in China,
Japan, and Korea. It stylizes the Malthusian-phase of East Asian
economies as peasant-based economies in which small families
allocated their working time between farming on small
plots—leased or owned—and handcrafting for personal consumption
and markets. It then compares institutional arrangements across
these economies that sustained otherwise similar economies... |

In collective decision-making, impatient or low-stake

With a per capita gross national income (GNI) of $4,930 in 2011,
the PRC has just passed the threshold of upper-middle-income
status and it still has a long way to go before becoming a

growth will have to be increasingly driven by productivity
improvement through innovation and industrial upgrading—the PRC
needs to move from a lowcost to a high-value economy... |

The Audacity of Reasonableness: Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, US Foreign

of this Analysis is that when it comes to foreign policy, the

President Obama is not as left-wing and dovish as many believe, and
Governor Romney is not as right-wing and hawkish as he would have us
believe. Americans face an important choice on 6 November. Their
decision will be felt here in Australia. But the world is not at a

Pirates and Privateers: Managing the Indian Ocean's Private Security
Boom, September 2012. The fight against
Somali-based pirates is becoming a private battle as global defence cuts

companies have turned to private military security companies to
guarantee the safety of their crews and cargo. Private armed teams have
proliferated on commercial shipping and several private armed vessels
are operating in the region. Meanwhile, some governments are hiring out
their own national militaries as security guards onboard ships... |

The paper analyzes equity of opportunity in basic education and
infrastructure services in seven developing countries, namely,
Bangladesh, Bhutan, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri
Lanka, and Viet Nam. It uses a method developed by the World
Bank called the Human Opportunity Index. The study finds that
inequality of opportunity is driven mainly by per capita
household expenditure. This suggests that household poverty
plays a crucial role in determining equitable access to basic
services. |

Australia-China Ties: In Search of Political Trust, June 2012
Australia's political relationship with
China is far less developed than its economic relationship. Linda
Jakobson argues that this is detrimental to Australia's interests
because China is not merely an economic power but also a crucial
political and security actor in the region. Underdeveloped political and
strategic relations between Canberra and Beijing weaken Australia's
ability to exert influence regionally. Australia risks being viewed by
China's leaders merely as a provider of resources. Moreover, there is a
danger that problems in the bilateral relationship will escalate into a
crisis due to the lack of familiarity and political trust between key
Australian and Chinese decision-makers. |

People's Republic of China (PRC); (iii) the failure of the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) arrangement to foster
trade liberalization in the region; and (iv) the inability of
the World Trade Organization (WTO) Doha Development Round to
lower global trade barriers significantly. |

Key Trends and Developments relating to Trade and Investment
Measures and their Impact on the APEC Region, June 2012.
The report found that APEC economies, particularly developing
APEC economies, continue to drive global real GDP growth.
However, given the fragility of the global economic recovery and
the significant downside risks that remain, APEC members will
need to implement strong policy responses to ensure sustainable
growth. It also highlights that growth in the volume of world
merchandise trade slowed in 2011 and is forecast to slow even
further in 2012 |

Breaking
With the Past? Civil-Military Relations in the Emerging
Democracies of East Asia, Published 2012
In recent decades, several East Asian nations have undergone
democratic transitions accompanied by changes in the balance of
power between civilian elites and military leaders. These
developments have not followed a single pattern: In Thailand,
failure to institutionalize civilian control has contributed to
the breakdown of democracy; civil-military relations and
democracy in the Philippines are in prolonged crisis; and
civilian control in Indonesia is yet to be institutionalized. At
the same time, South Korea and Taiwan have established civilian
supremacy and made great advances in consolidating democracy... |
