    The Future of International Aid

    On 28 February, renowned aid expert Richard Manning delivered a GEG Special Lecture on the future of multilateral aid. Former Chair of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee, Richard recently served as Vice Chair of the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria’s replenishment and as Coordinator of the Replenishment of the African Development Fund, the soft-loan arm of the African Development Bank. Richard’s remarks focused on these two replenishments, as well as that of the International Development Association, the principal source of World Bank funding for low-income countries. He noted that, contrary to the fears that austerity-focused Western governments would cut back on multilateral aid commitments, for the most part governments maintained or even increased their contributions. However, emerging donors in general did not significantly increase their core funding contributions, although some – notably China – have demonstrated interest in engaging with multilateral banks in new and creative ways. Richard also argued that the governance of multilateral institutions continues to lag behind shifting economic realities, and that the BRICs deserve a say in these institutions commensurate with their weight in the global economy.

    Civil Conflict in the Current Era: New Patterns or Same Old?

    Global Economic Governance Seminar, 9 November 2012. Has there been, as many have argued, a precipitous decline in civil conflicts during the past decade? What are the underlying drivers of civil conflicts in the current era, and how do they differ from previous eras? Drawing from this analysis, what international and national policy responses are likely to be most, and least, effective in settling such conflicts? The panel for this session is: Richard Caplan, Professor of International Relations, Oxford, Monica Duffy Toft, Professor of Government and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government and Dr Anke Hoeffler, Research Officer, Center for the Study of African Economies, Oxford Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales; http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/uk/
