The recent people’s revolutions in the Middle East have been playing on all 24 hour rolling news for the entire world to see at the click of a button. There has been such an excess of reports from embedded journalists … Continue reading →
By Rachel Nugent - In a recent op-ed published in the New York Times International Edition, I discuss the United Nations’ new projections on population. The UN Population Division recently raised its estimate for global population to reach 10.1 billion by 2100—a steep increase from the previous projections which showed the world’s population leveling off at 9 billion by [...]
By Nancy Birdsall - This post also appeared on the Huffington Post. A Bretton Woods project statement issued on April 6 was prescient indeed: The MD must be, and must be seen to be wholly independent of any national or regional interest. This is particularly important when the home state is a powerful member of the IMF. In practical [...]By Nancy Birdsall - A coalition of NGOs is opposing the proposal (in President Obama’s speech last week) that the EBRD begin lending and other operations in Egypt and Tunisia and elsewhere in the Middle East if and when new democratic governments emerge.

The Dominique Strauss-Kahn debacle has unexpectedly forced the first leadership turnover at a Bretton Woods institution since the global financial crisis—the first leadership transition in what we might call the G-20 world. The tacit deal that has long put an American atop the World Bank and a [...]
By David Wheeler - “The threat of climate change is no less menacing than the security threats that we face.” - Benjamin Netanyahu Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak to a joint session of Congress on Monday, at the invitation of House speaker John Boehner.

By Justin Sandefur - The great thing about opinion polls in a democracy is that they tell you both who should become, for example, President of the United States, and who likely will become President. “Is” and “ought” are conveniently aligned when the majority rules. The IMF is not a democracy, and the majority of the world’s population has [...]
