Analysing Macro-Poverty Linkages: Special Theme Issue of the Development Policy Review:  The analysis of macro-poverty linkages has emerged as an important but contentious area of national and international policy-making. Over the last few years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the linkages between macroeconomic policies and poverty reduction, as well as in developing evaluation tools and methodologies useful in conducting ex-ante PSIAs of macro policies.

Debating the Tobin Tax. The New Rules for Global Finance Coalition is proud to announce the publication of a volume of financial policy research.  This book, the second in a series, explores the argument for and against one of the most provocative policy proposals in the international economic policy arena – the Tobin Tax.  The tax proposal, named for the late Noble Laureate and Yale University professor James Tobin, would impose a small tax on transactions in foreign currency and possibly a broader array of financial instruments.

Future Positive: International Co-operation in the 21st Century. In an increasingly interdependent world, no one has a future unless we learn to work together. We are co-creators of the world we live in, and must take responsibility for doing what we can to make it worthy of ourselves and a fitting legacy for generations still to come. At a time when values of cooperation and community seem ever more at risk, Future Positive provides a refreshing and optimistic assessment of the prospects for a new international order – a direct counter blast to the doom-mongering views of writers and politicians whose voices dominate the debate. September 12, 2003 Book Event.

OTHER PUBLICATIONS

 

Reducing Poverty and Building Peace: Poverty and peace, and the relationships between them, are the central challenges for our times. Arguing that reducing poverty is not only possible, but can also build opportunities for peace, Coralie Bryant and Christina Kappaz help form the policy debate on the role of poverty reduction in international society. Oftentimes poverty is looked at only in specific countries, or is focused on developing countries. Reducing Poverty, Building Peace looks at poverty from both sides of the spectrum: domestic and global, rich and poor countries.

Helping People Help Themselves: From the World Bank to an Alternative Philosophy of Development Assistance. By David Ellerman. This book grew out of David Ellerman's ten years at the World Bank—and particularly out of his three years as advisor and speechwriter for Joseph Stiglitz during Stiglitz's tumultuous term as the Bank's Chief Economist.  The book provides a structural critique of the World Bank's approach to development assistance—but the main purpose is to lay the intellectual foundations for an alternative approach.  The book takes a broad interdisciplinary approach drawing from educational theory, management theory, community organizing, psychology, and philosophy.
