Notas do Editor
- Marie L. Yovanovitch Ambassador Since international assistance to Armenia began over twenty years ago with the relief effort following the 1988 earthquake, the U.S. government has provided almost two billion dollars of humanitarian aid and development assistance for Armenia´s economic, social and governance sectors.
- Budget (2009): revenues: $1.855 billion expenditures: $2.365 billion; including capital expenditures of $NA (2009 est.) Investment (gross fixed) : 38.6% of GDP (2009 est.)
- Source: Civilitas , Armstat Armstat provides detailed figures on who invests in the country and in what sectors. The table below provides figures on annual FDI for the largest investors (except for Iran and Turkey) through 2007, as well as the net stock which accounts for mergers and acquisitions (eg, Russia vs Greece and Lebanon in telecom). An xls file with more detailed information is available on the data page of aea.am. With the exception of the past couple of years, the EU was the largest source of FDI to the country. What explains this robust growth in FDI? Is it because the base is too small? How much of this is accounted for by Diaspora investments? And why Russian firms, again with the exception for the past couple of year, had so (relatively) little presence in the country?

- 95% of the interviewed migrants reported having sent remittances to only one household, on average remittances are sent every 4 to 6 months. We believe that the amount of remittances sent and savings brought to Armenia tend to be underreported. Thus the average presented here might be somewhat lower than in reality. (present Minimum maximum, mean). We notice a slight increase in the amount during the last trip, but that can be associated in the increase in cost of living.
- As it turns out, there are significant challenges in society, too. Political engagement is limited; Georgia still does better than neighboring countries.
- Reading a newspaper is often seen as a key component for engagement. How else are you going to find out about what’s going on?
- This contributes to a polarized politics: maybe the problem is not only that the government doesn’t listen – the people also don’t really speak.
- They also don’t really engage in public life. Not so much a matter of “bowling alone” [Putnam] but of not bowling at all.
- Azerbaijan shows higher levels of contribution to charity. As we explain in a previous blog post, this also may be caused by religiously mandated giving.
- We’ve also previously discussed this data: in Azerbaijan, as in Central Asia, village leaders occasionally mobilize their community for communal tasks.
- Gender is one dimension of the challenge. Standards can be very different.
- A favorite slide, but we cannot talk enough about this. From the World Values Survey.
- The US has its range of social problems, and ist political apathy, but compare the immense differences.
- Maybe „civil society“ is aiming too high, and one should have started with simpler issues: sort out your community.
- In Azerbaijan 1% or less than 1% of the respondents had positive response to these categories.
- Figures for the results of media monitoring in Armenia are very much alike the figures that the monitoring exposed in Azerbaijan.
- Relations with Neighbours-South Caucasus
- "The Minister and the Mining Sector" , started as an attempt to clarify why the country’s Environment Ministry was seemingly disinterested in tackling the looming ecological challenges facing the country in particular in regards to the rapidly expanding mining sector. Eight months later Baghdasaryan had discovered that the Minister of the Environment had been very busy awarding exploration licenses to 15 members of his family as well as his office assistants in violation of several statutes. As a result of these stories a study was begun into the mining industry and changes were made to create a public tender process and competitive bidding. A few months later the Environment Minister lost his job. This story showed the impact that can be made by collecting the documentation and using it in the story.
