Institute for Political Economy and Development (IPEAD): The Chair's Message and the Article of Association

Cambridge, King's Chapel

The Chair's Message 

As the director of the Institute for Political Economy and Development (IPEAD, 政治經濟發展硏究所), it is my great pleasure to introduce our organization, its structure, functions, and objectives.

The IPEAD is a non-profit and academic network with an objective of promoting political economy and development studies and projects.

Political economy and development studies concern the impact of international and domestic political order on economic development, which has become increasingly relevant to our economic lives due to the rapid globalization that has taken place in the recent decades. Economic development is particularly important for developing countries where the majority of population suffer from serious poverty. The IPEAD addresses those issues and seeks to help find alternative solutions to the various development issues around the world in the process of achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set by the UN by clarifying the impact that has on economic development. 

The IPEAD wishes to collaborate practitioners from several countries. We will have affiliations with leading academic institutions around the world. I invite you to get involved in our events and activities. We are an open forum: inquiry for possible academic collaboration from qualified academics and professionals is always welcome, interest from students and other young people is always encouraged, and support from caring individuals and corporations is always appreciated. You will find further information about the IPEAD from this website. Please also feel free to contact us (mu-jeong.kho@cantab.net), if you have any questions. 

Kind Regards, 

September 2014

Hillary, Blue-collar Democrats and Economy

Hillary Clinton supporters call for a vote recount in battleground states.



Regardless of the issue of a recount for the vote happening in the battleground states such as Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, we need to think about the result again. See the article below:

One may highlights the message below: 

"David Betras could see trouble coming. The Democratic Party chairman in Youngstown, Ohio, wrote to Hillary Clinton's advisers in May warning she needed to put a jobs-focused message at the heart of her White House campaign or else watch blue-collar voters in states like Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania slip away to Republican Donald Trump. (....) Clinton never responded to Betras, and in the final weeks of her campaign she spent much of her time portraying Trump as unfit, rather than highlighting her economic plans. On Nov. 8, Election Day, Betras' warning proved prescient - she lost Ohio and Pennsylvania and, on Wednesday, Michigan, too, based on the latest unofficial ballot counts (Reuter 2016)."

Do you know what it means? Maybe at least one of those which Bill Clinton was saying can be right:



But, maybe Hillary does not listen to the advice from Bill Clinton:



"He claimed the three were tone-deaf about the feeble economy and its impact on millions and millions of working-class voters."

Plus, for the people asking to recount the vote at the states...

Remember also:
Bernie Sanders wins Wisconsin and Michigan Democratic Primary over Hillary. 
Donald Trump wins Wisconsin and Michigan Democratic Primary over Hillary. 

What does it mean? And your thoughts?
