Summary: | These are the proceedings of the Annual
World Bank Conference on Development Economics, which
gathers the global perspective of scholars, and
practitioners of development policy from academic life,
government, and the private sector. The selected topics seek
to include new areas of concern, and current research, as
well as areas believed to benefit from exposure to recent
knowledge, and experience. This year's conference
focused on new development thinking, crises and recovery,
corporate governance and restructuring, and, social
security, public and private savings. The opening address
outlines challenges for development, that include the
intransigence of poverty in Africa, and ways to establish
public-private partnerships at the country, and global
levels, while the keynote address identifies equilibrium,
and change as the focus of development economics: long-term
sustainable growth requires development of a consensus
behind the reform policies. Discussions varied from crises
and recovery, through perspectives on the recent history of
transition economies, to arguments on the possibilities of
poverty reduction on a grand scale. Other topics include the
exploration of development strategies, revision of the role
of aid in providing finance, changing policies, and
knowledge transfer, and, how to coordinate development problems. |
