Governance and Innovation in Africa South Africa after Mandela

Edited byRobert I. Rotberg

South Africa is no longer the post-apartheid transformational state over which President Nelson Mandela presided so magnificently and with such hope. Under his successors, South Africa has become a slow-growing, often cranky, one-party-dominant state that only partially succeeds in providing the basic education, health services, housing, electrical power and human security that its 55 million citizens demand and expect. Moreover, especially under President Jacob Zuma and the ruling African National Congress (ANC), rampant corruption engulfs South Africa, distorting priorities and inhibiting economic growth. Zuma and the ANC are also challenging the democratic foundations of South Africa, too. This book calls for a renewed strengthening of governance in the country for action to be taken before it is too late.

The chapters in this volume, most written by committed South Africans, explain how South Africa can bolster its core governance and improve the lives of its people. This book presents the key alternatives facing South Africas political rulers duringtheremainder of this decade and in the decades to come. Courageous, intelligent, bold and principled political leadership is required if South Africa is going to build upon Mandelas legacy and successfully address the major problems that engulf the nation and restore South Africa to primacy in Africa.

Organized ChaosReimagining the Internet

Edited by Mark Raymond andGordonSmith

Anonymous. Cybercrime. Hacktivist. Cyber security. Now part of the lexicon of our daily language, these words were unknown a decade ago. The evolution and expansion of the Internet has transformed communication, business and politics, and the Internet has become a powerful influence on everyday life globally. But the Internet is a medium that is not controlled by one centralized system, and the debate over who will govern the Internet has commanded attention from a wide range of actors, including states, policy makers and those beyond the traditional tech industries.

Organized Chaos: Reimagining the Internet examines the contemporary international politics of Internet governance problems, exploring issues such as cybercrime, activities of the global hacktivist network Anonymous and swing states, and highlighting central trends that will play a role in shaping a universal policy to govern the Internet. In this book, some of the worlds foremost Internet governance scholars consider the critical problems facing efforts to update and refine Internet governance at an international level and the appropriate framework for doing so.This volume provides the basis for developing a high-level strategicMark Raymond joined CIGI as a researchfellow in August 2012.

vision required to successfully navigate a multi-faceted, shifting and uncertain governance environment.East Asia ArticRelationsBoundary, Security and International Politics

Edited by Kimie Hara and Ken Coates

8CIGI Books | www.cigionline.orgThe Arctics profile as a region for opportunity and engagement is rising among both circumpolar and non-circumpolar states. Canada, Russia and the United States have expressed a renewed interest in the region, and East Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea and China are now increasingly fixated on prospects offered by the Arctic; however, Arctic and East Asian nations have not yet engaged in extensive discussions about competing and complementary activities and responsibilities in the Far North. This volume is an outcome of an international collaborative project that launched a focused and detailed conversation about the historic, contemporary and future dimensions of East Asian countries relationships and interests in the Arctic. Bringing together leading experts from Japan, China, South Korea, Russia, the United States and Canada, it draws policy-making and scholarly attention to East Asias growing interests in the Far North, and identifies political, economic, legal and security connections between the two regions.

A timely and instructive tour dhorizon of evolving Arctic issues from an informed perspective highlighting East Asian, Russian and North American dimensions. Sober in tone without being alarmist or drawing premature conclusions, it opens a refreshingly wide array of topics from climate change, resource dynamics, shipping routes and territorial claims to governance, local development and ecospheric- and geopolitics a challenging and distinctively twenty-first-century agenda. PaulEvans,Professor, Institute of Asian Research and Liu Institute for Global Issues, University of British Columbia

Much has been written about the Arctic in recent years; this compendium brings a fresh view to the issues by giving the reader an opportunity to hear from Asian contributors. Authors from the United States, Canada and Russia round out the complex picture that emerges. A must-read for those interested in learning about power politics at play in this important region, those who are avid Asia watchersand those following developments in the Arctic.

Crisis and Reform Canada and the International Financial System

Worldrights all languages.

The financial crisis that erupted in 2008 severely affected the global economy, plunging most countries into a recession with aftershocks still being felt today. Canada was able to weather the crisis well in comparison to many euro-zone countries and the United States, but it did not escape unscathed. Two major themes are explored in this volume: Canadas role in the international financial system and the Canadian policy response to the global financial crisis. These themes are examined in light of the shift from the classical gold standard to Bretton Woods to the non-system of late, the finance-trade crossover agenda, the changing role of central banks, the European Monetary Union, developing countries and a post- financial crisis global political economy. What becomes clear in this volume is that Canada plays a powerful role, which belies its size, in the development of the financial system and its regulation at an international level.

Crisis and Reform: Canada and the International Financial System the 28th volume of the influential Canada Among Nations series examines the global financial crisis through Canadas historicalRohinton Medhora joined the Centre forInternational Governance Innovation as president in 2012 after having served onits International Board of Governors since2009.

and current role in the international financial system. Canada has been held up as a shining example of good governance during the financial crisis, and its prominent role within international financial institutions should grow as Canada continues as a leading player in the global financial system.

Canada Among Nations has been the premier source for critical insight into Canadian foreign policy issues since 1984. This volume continues that tradition by providing students, policy makers and practitioners with a timely compendium of expert opinion on Canada and its role before, during and after the global financial crisis.

PaperbackISBN 978-0-9867077-4-2Off BalanceThe Travails of Institutions That Govern theGlobal Financial System

Paul Blustein

Award-winning journalist and author Paul Blustein has received wide acclaim for his books about the inner workings of international economic institutions, notably the International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization. In Off Balance, he weaves a compelling narrative that details the failings of such institutions in the global financial crisis that erupted in 2008.

Based on interviews with scores of policy makers and on thousands of pages of confidential documents to which Blustein obtained exclusive access, the book focusses mainly on the IMF and the Financial Stability Forum in the run-up to and early months of the crisis. Blustein exposes serious weaknesses in these and other institutions, which lead to sobering conclusions about the governability of the global economy.

Much of the worlds ability to mitigate the consequences of its periodic financial crises depends on the capacity of its multilateral institutions to bridge the gap between the sovereignty of nations and the inevitable globalization of their economies. Paul Blusteins extensive experience and his ability to explain the complex in human terms drives this point home in no uncertain terms.The Right Honourable Paul Martin, formerPrime Minister of Canada

Who knew that a detailed account of the regulation of global finance could actually be...spellbinding. Only Paul Blustein journalist, forensic economist and financial detective extraordinaire could have possibly written it. The new revelations based on confidential documents alone are well worth the priceof entry, although there is much more for the specialist and general reader alike.Highly recommended.Barry Eichengreen, George C. Pardee and Helen N. Pardee Professor of Economics and Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley

Blustein combines the journalists story-telling skills with the historians perspective to relate a story that is still being played out in the G7, G20 and the Bank for International Settlements, as well as in the IMF and the FSB. His conclusion is sobering: despite the failings demonstrated before and during the2008 crisis, the current judgment is mission unaccomplished.Stephen Grenville, VisitingFellow, Lowy Institute for International Policy and former Deputy Governor and board member,theReserve Bank of Australia

A CIGI Senior Fellow and award-winning journalist, Paul Blustein has written extensively about international economics, trade and financial crises. He is a former staff member for The Washington Post andThe Wall Street Journal.

A DiplomatsHandbookfor Democracy Development Support

Jeremy Kinsman and Kurt Bassuener

In recent decades, the conduct of international relations among and within states has been very considerably altered. Today, the content of these relations relies as much on international professional and civil society networks as it does on state-to-state transactions.

The role of the Internet has been fundamental in widening communications opportunities for citizens and civil society, with a profound effect on democracy transition. In consequence, diplomacy has taken on a much more human and public face. Twenty-first century ambassadors and diplomats are learning to engage with civil societies, especially on the large themes of democratic change an engagement that is often resisted by authoritarian regimes.

A Diplomats Handbook for Democracy Development Support presents a wide variety of specific experiences of diplomats on the ground, identifying creative, human and material resources. More broadly, it is about the policy-making experience in capitals, as democratic states try to align national interests and democratic values. The Handbook also documents the increasingly prominent role of civil society as the essential building block for successful democratic transitions, with each case study examining specific national experiences in the aspiration for democratic and pluralistic governance, and lessons learned on all sides for better or for worse.

While each situation is different presenting unique, unstructured problems and opportunities a review of these experiences bears out the validity of the authors belief in the interdependence of democratic engagements, and provides practitioners with encouragement, counsel and a greater capacity to support democracy everywhere.

The Handbook was proposed by Community of Democracies board member and former US Ambassador to Hungary, the late Mark Palmer. Directed by former Canadian Ambassador to Russia, the Italian Republic and the European Union, and High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Jeremy Kinsman, and joined by Kurt Bassuener, a political analyst and advocate based in Sarajevo, this third edition continues to respond to the need to support reform- minded groups and individuals as they struggle to introduce and improve democratic governance and human rights.CANADA AMONG NATIONS SERIES

Former prime minister Paul Martin notes in his preface to the book that there is and will continue to be a huge role for other countries to take the lead in providing engineering and financial expertise to big projects that will become increasingly common as the region develops. The question is,he writes, will Canada be there? Don Cayo, Vancouver Sun

"This edition of Canada Among Nations rightly rejects the notion that Canada currently has (and only ever had) humanitarian interests in Africa. Ultimately, this collection will stand or fall on whether it makes a convincing case that Africa matters to Canada in the 21st century. It has not only accomplished that task but has also provided convincing evidence of the entrenched obstacles that prevent many Canadians from seeing interests, change, and opportunity in Africa and has offered various practical, if at times contentious or self-serving, policy prescriptions. As Gerald Helleiner argues in the summary chapter, the aid-based and implicitly patronizing relationships of the past cannot remain dominant (295). Readers will no doubt agree." Christ WJ Roberts, International Journal

[The] editors of the book must be commended for the excellent structure, organization, and consistency across chapter contributions to the theme of the book. The book is a must read for all development economists and policymakers on both sides. A good read.
