Socio-economic issues confronting Pacific Island economies

Socio-economic issues confronting Pacific Island economies

The International Journal of Social Economics invites manuscripts for a special issue on socio-economic issues confronting Pacific Island economies, scheduled for publication in late 2007.

The Pacific Island economies are confronted with several challenges, such as: low levels of economic growth, political instability; global warming and rising sea levels; rising levels of crime, low private investment and lack of export diversification; escalating budget deficits, ballooning current account deficits, and mounting national debts; and unstable exchange rates.We are interested in applied and analytical papers that focus on the following:

  • the interrelationship between traditional and cultural characteristics and democracy;

  • climate changes and socio-economic sustainability;

  • trade integration and foreign direct investment;

  • budget deficits and current account deficits sustainability;

  • national debt and economic growth;

  • exchange rate dynamics;

  • tourism and economic growth; and

  • the relationship between crime and macroeconomic economic indicators.
