Preface

The purpose of these Voluntary  guidelines is to serve as a reference and to provide guidance to improve the governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests with the overarching goal of achieving food security for all and to support the progressive realization of the right to adequate food in the context of national food security.

This volume is part of a series of Land Tenure Studies produced by FAO’s Land Tenure and Management Unit of the Land and Water Division. Land tenure arrangements are a key factor in achieving food security and sustainable rural development. Equitable and secure access to land, especially for the rural poor, is a crucial factor for reducing poverty and hunger, for increasing agricultural productivity, and for improving rural conditions.

While most technical assessments classify privatization as a success, it remains widely and  increasingly unpopular, largely because of the perception that it is fundamentally unfair, both in  conception and execution.  We review the increasing (but still uneven) literature and conclude  that most privatization programs appear to have worsened the distribution of assets and  income, at least in the short run.

This study analyzes the Chilean privatization process. As it has been a wide-ranging undertaking, we perform an analysis of several industries. After a historic review of the privatization process, we examine the 37 Chilean state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that were privatized from 1981-2000 and for which pre-privatization and post-privatization financial, employment and production data are available.

This is a course Dispute Settlement in International Trade, Investment and Intellectual Property consists of some forty modules.

This module surveys the basic features of the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards under the New York Convention of 1958 (hereinafter: NYC). The recognition and enforcement proceedings constitute the final stage of any arbitration whenever the arbitral award is not executed voluntarily.

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) involve private sector supply of infrastructure assets and services that have traditionally been provided by the government. An infusion of private capital and management can ease fiscal  constraints on infrastructure investment and increase efficiency. Reflecting these advantages, PPPs are taking off around the world: there are well-established programs in a number of countries (including Chile, Ireland, Mexico, and the United Kingdom), and less developed programs or a good deal of interest in many others.

Corporate governance of state-owned enterprises is a major challenge in many economies. These OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises serves as an international benchmark to help governments assess and improve the way they exercise ownership of these enterprise.
