About Global Economy and Development
The Global Economy and Development program aims to shape the U.S. and international policy debate on how to manage globalization and fight global poverty. The program is home to leading scholars from around the world, who use their expertise in international macroeconomics, political economy, international relations and development and environmental economics to tackle some of today’s most pressing development challenges.
Global Economy and Development experts draw on the core strengths of Brookings—authoritative, independent and nonpartisan research, a depth of practical expertise and unparalleled convening power—to address three critical areas:
- The drivers of the global economy
- The road out of poverty
- Global public goods
Global Economy and Development is led by Kemal Derviş, who previously served as the head of United Nations Development Programme and as Turkey’s Treasury secretary. He has also taught at several academic institutions, including Princeton and Columbia universities. The program also houses the following centers and projects:
Africa Growth Initiative
Center for Universal Education
Development Assistance and Governance Initiative
John L. Thornton China Center
Latin America Initiative
