• The Obama Administration’s New Counternarcotics Strategy in Afghanistan

  Thu, 24 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

  
  As President Barack Obama considers alternatives to increasing the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Vanda Felbab-Brown argues his administration's new counternarcotics policy represents a courageous break with previous misguided efforts there and thirty years of U.S. counternarcotics policies around the world.

• Is the G-20 Summit a Step Toward a New Global Economic Order?

  Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT

  Colin Bradford and Johannes Linn argue that the global crisis has moved the United States, along with the rest of the world, toward a new global economic order, with the G-20 summit as one of the principal manifestations of the new global governance system. In addition to the financial crisis, they say that the summit can also serve as a platform for addressing other pressing global issues, including trade, climate change, energy and food security and reform of global institutions.

• A Global Fund for Education: Achieving Education for All

  Fri, 28 Aug 2009 00:00:00 GMT

  
  In order to realize the world’s commitment to ensuring education for all by 2015, important innovations and reforms will be needed in the governance and financing of global education. David Gartner advises that the Global Fund for Education holds the key and outlines a set of core principles to guide the fund.

• Global Governance Breakthrough: The G20 Summit and the Future Agenda

  Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT

  
  Paul Martin, former Prime Minister of Canada, and Senior Fellows Colin Bradford and Johannes Linn assess the successful G20 Summit, its impact on global governance and provide recommendations for President-elect Obama. They argue that the next administration can build an inclusive and cooperative summit group to resolve the current financial and economic crisis as well as address other major complex global challenges and opportunities.

• Strengthen the Millennium Challenge Corporation: Better Results are Possible

  Wed, 10 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT

  
  The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is one of the outstanding innovations of the eight-year presidency of George W. Bush. Lex Rieffel and James Fox offer recommendations to strengthen the MCC for better results.

• Bridging the Social Security Divide: Lessons From Abroad

  Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

  
  Kent Weaver argues that a new approach to Social Security reform requires the president and congressional leaders to agree on an overall mandate for a commission named through a bipartisan nominating process designed to generate a group that is likely to focus on practical, consensus-building solutions. Special procedures in each house of Congress would provide expedited consideration of the commission’s reform package and alternatives, while providing incentives for constructive congressional engagement in the reform process.

• Can Raúl Castro Revive Cuba's Private Sector?

  Tue, 04 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT

  
  No single U.S. move would have a greater impact on the direction of Cuban reform than the lifting of travel, trade and financial restrictions, argues Raj Desai. Although Washington's options are severely limited by the current political-economic mood in Latin America, the United States can clear a path for a reformist Cuba to seek its own solutions and to understand the tradeoffs involved in different reform strategies.

• Credit Crisis: The Sky is not Falling

  Wed, 31 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT

  
  Despite troubles in the subprime mortgage industry, an otherwise healthy economy should avert a true credit crisis. This brief describes how there is no shortage of capital and why bailing out the lenders would merely encourage them to do it again.

• Reform of Global Governance: Priorities for Action

  Thu, 18 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT

  
  Governance reform was high on the agenda at the recent World Bank/IMF Annual Meeting in Washington. Brookings experts Colin Bradford and Johannes Linn examine priorities for reform at both institutions and other global organizations in a new Policy Brief.

• A Diplomatic Offensive for Iraq

  Fri, 15 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT

  In the spirit of a unified U.S. security strategy, Carlos Pascual and Larry Diamond offer a framework for near-term congressional action on hearings and appropriations to support a policy toward Iraq that is comprehensive and responsible.

• How to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions Now

  Fri, 01 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT

  Congressional leaders are finally working seriously on long-term approaches to climate change. Three major bills propose variations on a cap-and-trade approach that combines industry emission limits or "caps" with a government-created market for trading emission credits.

• Global Service Fellowships: Building Bridges through American Volunteers

  Tue, 20 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT

  David L. Caprara, John Bridgeland, and Harris Wofford argue that as policy-makers search for ways to share the best of America with the world, they should start with our international volunteers, who embody this country's spirit of generosity, resourcefulness and hope. With the support of Congress and the Bush Administration, volunteers can become the first face of America to communities in many nations, while advancing concrete initiatives that lift up the lives of the poor throughout the world.
   

• Beyond Microfinance: Getting Capital to Small and Medium Enterprises to Fuel Faster Development

  Sat, 10 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT

  David de Ferranti and Anthony J. Ody explain why the time has come to pay greater attention to the potential of small and medium-sized commercial firms to promote economic growth.

• More COPS

  Thu, 01 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT

  FBI statistics suggest that violent crime rates increased from 2004 to 2005, and continued to climb through at least the first half of 2006. The massive drop in violent crime witnessed in the 1990s, when homicide rates declined by nearly 45 percent, has stalled since the turn of the millennium (Figure 1). As the Washington Post noted in a front-page article in December 2006, "the historic drop in the U.S. crime rate has ended and is being reversed."

• Enhancing Development through Better Use of Public Resources: How Independent Watchdog Groups Can Help

  Fri, 01 Sep 2006 00:00:00 GMT

  To improve developing countries' effectiveness in utilizing scarce public funds, efforts to achieve greater transparency and accountability in budget processes must be strengthened. This brief argues specifically for expanded initiatives to strengthen domestic civil society capacity - independent of governments - to provide substantive analysis of budget choices and the distribution and effectiveness of public spending, and to make the results accessible to the general population both directly and via intermediaries such as the media.

• Reforming Tax Incentives into Uniform Refundable Tax Credits

  Tue, 01 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT

  Policy Brief #156: Reforming Tax Incentives into Uniform Refundable Tax Credits; by Peter R. Orszag, Fred T. Goldberg, Jr., and Lily L. Batchelder

• International Volunteering: Smart Power

  Thu, 01 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT

  Lex Rieffel and Sarah Zalud argue that Americans engaging in volunteer work in other countries encourage more favorable attitudes among foreigners toward America and generate greater understanding among Americans of foreign perspectives. A more robust cross-cultural dialogue could make the United States less dependent on hard power, which has high budget costs.

• Untangling China's Quest for Oil through State-backed Financial Deals

  Mon, 01 May 2006 00:00:00 GMT

  The worldwide quest for oil resources by and investment practices of China's NOCs have triggered concerns about China's impact on international oil supplies and prices. China's growing oil demand need not lead to conflict with the rest of the world's energy needs. China's participation in the upstream oil market, in fact, can help increase supplies and lower prices, benefiting all consumers.

  Policy Brief #152 by Johannes F. Linn and Colin I. Bradford, Jr. (April 2006)

• The Effects of Investing in Early Education on Economic Growth

  Sat, 01 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT

  Brookings Policy Brief #153 by William T. Dickens, Isabel V. Sawhill and Jeffrey Tebbs (April 2006)

• Building Automatic Solvency into U.S. Social Security: Insights from Sweden and Germany

  Wed, 01 Mar 2006 00:00:00 GMT

  In 1998, Sweden adopted a radical new approach to state-based pension provision, with several innovations. Many experts in the United States and elsewhere have been interested in Sweden's move toward mandatory individual accounts for retirement savings, with workers required to set-aside 2.5 percent of covered wages. For purposes of this brief, however, Sweden's novel approach to financing the much larger pay-as-you-go state pensions is of interest. The new Swedish pension system contains features that should achieve what the architects of the new system sought—guaranteed and permanent financial solvency at a fixed contribution rate of 16 percent of wages.

• Preparing for Future "Katrinas"

  Wed, 01 Mar 2006 00:00:00 GMT

  The devastating 2005 hurricane season—especially the three large hurricanes that struck the Gulf Coast and Florida (Katrina, Rita and Wilma)—has graphically demonstrated how dangerous nature can be. Add in the storms of 2004, and the last two hurricane seasons account for the seven of the twelve most costly natural disasters in American history, as shown in Table 1.

• No Child Left Behind: How To Give It a Passing Grade

  Thu, 01 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT

  The No Child Left Behind Act has the potential to improve many of America’s schools, but this potential is currently undermined by serious flaws in how the program evaluates school performance, writes Martin West. He proposes that the Department of Education allow states sufficient flexibility in devising alternative accountability schemes.

• Why Federalism Matters

  Sat, 01 Oct 2005 00:00:00 GMT

  Sometimes nations face a stark choice: allow regions to federate and govern themselves, or risk national dissolution. Clear examples where federalism is the answer exist. Belgium would probably be a partitioned state now if Flanders had not been granted extensive self-government. If under Italy's constitution, Sardinia, a large and relatively remote Italian island, had not been granted significant autonomy, it might well have harbored a violent separatist movement—like the one plaguing a neighboring island, Corsica, a rebellious province of unitary France.

• Moving Toward Smarter Aid

  Mon, 01 Aug 2005 00:00:00 GMT

  President Bush surprised both critics and supporters of his foreign policies in March 2002—fourteen months after his inauguration and six months after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001—when he unveiled his proposal to establish the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA).

• Nigeria's Paris Club Debt Problem

  Mon, 01 Aug 2005 00:00:00 GMT

  Nigeria's debt servicing problems began around 1985, when the Nigerian government's total external debt to all creditors amounted to $19 billion. Since then, the government has paid creditors more than $35 billion while borrowing less than $15 billion. Nevertheless, its outstanding external debt at the end of 2004 grew to almost $36 billion.

• Insuring America's Workers in a New Era of Offshoring

  Fri, 01 Jul 2005 00:00:00 GMT

  White-collar offshoring burst into public consciousness early last year in the middle of a peculiarly unbalanced recovery, in which the share of national income going to workers and the rate of job creation were both unusually low. Coming on top of accelerated job shedding in manufacturing and the bursting of the information technology bubble, this new wave of offshoring expanded yet again the group of U.S. workers facing fundamental insecurity about future earnings.

• Rumsfeld's Revolution at Defense

  Fri, 01 Jul 2005 00:00:00 GMT

  Rumsfeld announced his commitment to a revolution in military affairs in his 2001 confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee. In a harbinger of rhetoric to come, he not only refused to rule out another round of military base closings, but he also announced his intention to reform the military acquisition process, which he declared ill-suited "to meet the demands posed by an expansion of unconventional and asymmetrical threats in an era of rapid technological advances."

• Bush and Kerry: Questions About Governing Styles

  Tue, 01 Jun 2004 00:00:00 GMT

  Political campaigns are about governing, argues Charles Jones. Candidates offer themselves to the public and endure a grueling process of nomination and election. Campaigns generate a lot of headlines, but it's what comes afterward that counts. Voters usually are left guessing about how each of the candidates would govern.

  Tue, 01 Apr 2003 00:00:00 GMT

  The revelation of corporate scandals and the financial crises in the developing countries have persuaded many people around the world that "Enronitis," in its various guises, can seriously damage people's confidence in a financial system and retard economic development. Shang-Jin Wei and Heather Milkiewicz argue that an invigorated, worldwide reform effort will reduce the chance of future economic devastation that could result from poor public and corporate governance.
