    Asimeng, Theodore / Pooja Balasubramanian (2024)
    The Current Column, 06 March 2024

15. Tomorrow’s global development landscape: mapping trends and reform dynamics

    

    Janus, Heiner / Niels Keijzer / Svea Koch (2024)

    This paper analyses structural factors of the institutional inertia in international cooperation and formulates expectations for where new reform impetus might come from. It maps and links key reform proposals for the global development system, with a specific focus on public financial flows.

16. Social contract and social cohesion: synergies and tensions between two related concepts

    

    Loewe, Markus / Armin von Schiller / Tina Zintl / Julia Leininger (2024)

    “Social cohesion” and the “social contract” are two interrelated concepts that help to understand the relationships between individuals, social groups and state institutions. Both enable governments and foreign actors to design policies for sustainable development, albeit in different contexts.

    Altenburg, Tilmann / Anna Pegels / Mauricio Böhl Gutierrez et al. (2024)

19. Investment Facilitation for Development: what’s at stake at the 13th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization?

    

    Berger, Axel / Zoryana Olekseyuk (2024)

    The current debate on the Investment Facilitation for Development (IFD) Agreement could be very consequential for the World Trade Organization (WTO) although it is not part of the official calendar of next week’s 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) in Abu Dhabi. A group of WTO Members have launched discussions on a plurilateral agreement on Investment Facilitation for Development at the 11th Ministerial Conference in 2017. These discussions have turned into actual negotiations from September 2020 onwards and in July 2023, around two thirds of the WTO’s Memberships concluded text-based negotiations. At MC13, Members aim at finalising the negotiations and integrating the plurilateral IFD Agreement into the WTO legal system. So what is at stake? Why is the IFD Agreement so controversial? And what do we know about its potential economic effects?
