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.
