    The world faces unprecedented opportunities to reduce global poverty and improve human welfare. Strong global growth and better economic policies in recent years have substantially reduced poverty in many developing countries. However, with the recent financial turmoil in the United States and rising prices for food, oil, and other commodities, the world economy faces heightened risks and volatility. Policymakers around the world face the challenge of maintaining momentum in growth, as well as of improving the quality of growth.

    The authors compare changes in gender
    roles and women's empowerment in China, India, and the
    Republic of Korea. Around 1950, these newly formed states
    were largely poor and agrarian, with common cultural factors
    that placed similar severe constraints on women's
    autonomy. They adopted very different paths of development,
    which are well known to have profoundly affected development
    outcomes. These choices have also had a tremendous impact on

    The paper examines the ways in which recent economic growth has been uneven in China and India and what this has meant for inequality and poverty. Drawing on analyses based on existing household survey data and aggregate data from official sources, the authors show that growth has indeed been uneven-geographically, sectorally, and at the household level-and that this has meant uneven progress against poverty, less poverty reduction than might have been achieved had growth been more balanced, and an increase in income inequality.

China has reached global scale in the hardware industry but not in software; India has achieved the reverse. These recent developments offer new insights into the ways in which new industries can take root and flourish within the broader context of developing economies.

    This book, Financing cities, emphasized
    case studies on different topics to look at the interactions
    of a range of variables and factors and to see how they fit
    together. Rather than require each case to follow the same
    format, the authors have structured their papers around the
    issues that matter most from their perspective in addressing
    the topic in hand. The first part of this book presents case
    studies describing the framework established at the national
