At present, how to develop industries is a burning issue in Africa, where population growth remains high and economic development has thus far failed to provide sufficient jobs for many, especially young people and women. The creation of productive jobs through industrial development ought to be a central issue in steering economic activity across the continent.The authors of this book, consisting of two development economists and five practitioners, argue that the adoption of Kaizen management practices, which originated in Japan and have become widely used by manufacturers in advanced and emerging economies, is decisively the most effective first step for industrial development in Africa.This open access book discusses what Kaizen management is, why it is applicable to Africa, and why it can provide Africa with a springboard for sustainable economic growth and employment generation.

This book highlights the interdependencies, trade-offs, and competing demands of climate, nature, and food (C-N-F) constitute a nexus. Managing this nexus ensures the integrity of ecosystem services and sustains natural capital. Before elaborating on the process of nexus, it would come in handy to explain how the terms ‘climate’, ‘nature’, and ‘food’ are used in the present context. ‘Climate’ is mainly used in terms of rainfall and temperature. Extreme events of rainfall and temperatures result in floods and droughts. Here, the terms 'climate' and 'climate change' are used interchangeably as synonyms. ‘Nature’ includes both use values (natural resources) and non-use values (biodiversity), which include soil, water, forests, habitat, biodiversity, etc. While natural resources like soil, water, forests, biodiversity, etc. (use values of nature) impact food production directly, non-use values (preference, existence, esoteric, etc.) impact indirectly. However, non-use values are not considered in the present analysis, as assessing non-use values is more complex than evaluating the use values. ‘Food’ production systems primarily include agriculture, forestry, and water-based production systems (such as marine aquaculture). All three production systems are critically linked to nature and are affected by climate change.

This open access book asks why and how some of the developing countries have “emerged” under a set of similar global conditions, what led individual countries to choose the particular paths that led to their “emergence,” and what challenges confront them. If we are to understand the nature of major risks and uncertainties in the world, we must look squarely at the political and economic dynamics of emerging states, such as China, India, Brazil, Russia, and ASEAN countries. Their rapid economic development has changed the distribution of wealth and power in the world. Yet many of them have middle income status. To global governance issues, they tend to adopt approaches that differ from those of advanced industrialized democracies. At home, rapid economic growth and social changes put pressure on their institutions to change. This volume traces the historical trajectories of two major emerging states, China and India, and two city states, Hong Kong and Singapore. It also analyzes cross-country data to find the general patterns of economic development and sociopolitical change in relation to globalization and to the middle income trap.

Bank Regulation and Supervision Practices in South Asia presents a comprehensive analysis of bank regulation and supervision practices in South Asia, offering in-depth country-specific and cross-country insights into regulatory frameworks and their harmonization within the region. Focusing on six South Asian countries — Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Maldives, and Sri Lanka — the book systematically evaluates progression of key regulatory and supervisory practices to assess their effectiveness in promoting financial stability, resilience, and inclusive growth. It employs a co-created, comparative approach based on a common analytical framework, supported by survey-based data from the World Bank's Bank Regulation and Supervision Surveys (BRSS) and the latest ADBI-conducted survey during 2018-2024.The country studies covered in the book provide discussion on a wide range of core and emerging regulatory frameworks, including deposit insurance, capital adequacy, liquidity regulations, FinTech-enabling and digital payments regulations, consumer protection, and environmental and social compliance norms. A unique analytical framework is adopted for assessment of macro-financial diagnostics, financial policy evaluations and identifying regulatory gaps in South Asia. Further, it presents the econometric assessment of the impact of regulatory reforms on bank performance in South Asia.The book fills an important knowledge gap by offering both theoretical and practical insights, combining expert analysis with first-hand perspectives from central bank officials. It serves as a useful policy-relevant reference for regulators, researchers, and development partners, delivering actionable recommendations to strengthen regulatory norms and address emerging risks emanating from digitalization and climate change in the region.
