Europe Beyond Aid: Assessing Europe’s Commitment to Development Assistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate a consolidated score for the 21 European countries included in the CDI to track their pursuit of development-friendly policies. In 2014 the Center for Global Development is launching a series of discussion papers for public consultation. Our goal is to press for a broader and more informed discussion about how European policies can improve. By the end of the year, we will synthesize the expert consensus on the seven themes of the CDI into a comprehensive and specific policy agenda for European countries setting out practical, evidencebased conclusions on how they can improve their policies which affect development and global poverty.

متن کاملEurope’s Great Depression: coordination failure after the First World War
In this paper I survey and reinterpret the extensive literature on Europe’s Great Depression. I argue that Europe could not exploit its vast economic potential after 1918, because the war had not yet come to an end—indeed, it did not end before 1945.
