This work traces the evolution of lotteries and fund-raising football pools in Britain, primarily for the period of 30 years between 1960 and 1990. This provides the background to the National Lottery in the UK and there is a comparison with the national lotteries of the USA and other European countries.

'The Caucasian Tiger' explains the factors underlying Armenia's stellar economic growth record, which has led to the country's emergence as a pre-eminent reformer among the former Soviet republics, and provides advice on policies that will entrench growth over the next decade. It describes how Armenia created an environment of macroeconomic stability and pursued reforms aimed at establishing a market economy that was integrated with the rest of the world. But the central focus of the book is the reform agenda of the future. The continuation of high rates of productivity gains requires Armenia to deepen reforms directed at sharpening the competitive framework of the economy, achieving closer integration with international trade and capital markets, building financial markets, and creating the conditions for the absorption of knowledge that leads to higher technological sophistication. Thus, this book is intended not only as a case study of success in post-Soviet economic transition, but also as a candid piece of policy advice for the future. As such, it will be of particular interest to readers working in the areas of economic policy and reforms, the economics and politics of transition to market economies, poverty reduction, competition and corporate governance, banking and trade policies, and stimulating innovation within a knowledge-based economy.

The introduction of a National Lottery into the United Kingdom created a unique regulatory challenge. The response to this challenge is embodied in arrangements informed not by international precedent but by privatisation policies pursued by successive Conservative governments between 1979 and 1994 when the Lottery was launched. Dr Douglas assesses the success of the Lottery's regulation against the objectives set out in the enabling legislation: the upholding of the Lottery's propriety, the protection of the players, and the maximising of the funds to be applied to the Good Causes. Lessons learned during the initial Licence period will inform the new seven year Licence from October 2001, the operator chosen for the new term, and in particular the role of the profit motive within the new arrangements.

Daddy is a busy man, and he has to work away a lot on an oil rig. When he goes away he misses Mummy and his sons. Follow Daddy’s adventures as he travels to the oil rig, by planes, helicopters and boats! Throughout all this, he still keeps in contact with his family. Luckily, Daddy isn’t away for too long and the family count down the days until they can see him again! Andrew Douglas has written this book for any other children whose parents work away from home. He wanted his own children to know that he still thinks of them whilst he’s away, and hopes that other children (and parents!) are comforted by his story.
