    Brave new world: global development goals after 2015 1 David Hulme 1 University of Manchester, UK 2* [email protected] Rorden Wilkinson 2University of Manchester, UK [email protected] * Corresponding author May 2012 Brooks World Poverty Institute BWPI Working Paper 168 ISBN : 978-1-907247-67-5 Creating and sharing knowledge to help end poverty www.manchester.ac.uk/bwpi Abstract This paper evaluates the major options for reformulating the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Our purpose is to add weight and direction to emerging thinking on MDG-reformulation in a way that: (i) reaffirms the importance of global efforts to reduce extreme poverty; (ii) overcomes the problems endemic in the existing MDGs; (iii) accelerates the reduction of extreme poverty globally; (iv) builds the foundations of a more comprehensive global development programme; (v) tailors poverty reduction efforts to local conditions and strengthens national-level poverty eradication policies; and (iv) offers a realizable prospect for maintaining momentum in UN development efforts.

  • Multilateral Cooperation, the G20 and the EU: Soft Power for Greater Policy Coherence? Bernard Hoekman* and Rorden Wilkinson†
    Multilateral Cooperation, the G20 and the EU: Soft Power for Greater Policy Coherence? Bernard Hoekman* and Rorden Wilkinson† Revised: February 15, 2020 Abstract: Since 2008, G20 leaders have repeatedly committed themselves to conclude WTO negotiations expeditiously and refrain from resorting to protectionism. They have not, however, lived up to these commitments. Trade growth has been anemic for much of the intervening period, with deadlock in the WTO and reversion to aggressive unilateralism by the United States undermining global trade governance. Current trade tensions primarily involve the major trading powers. Resolving these tensions requires agreement between the main actors and greater focus on addressing the concerns of all WTO members regarding the operation of the organization. The major actors are all members of the G20. The G20 constitutes an important forum for the EU to provide leadership and to use its soft power to address geo-economic conflicts and bolster global trade governance. We review the prospects for resolving current trade tensions and revitalizing the multilateral system through a discussion of the measures that could constitute EU trade leadership in the G20.

  • The Millennium Development Goals (Mdgs): a Short History of the World’S Biggest Promise
    The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): A Short History of the World’s Biggest Promise 1 David Hulme 1University of Manchester September 2009 [email protected] BWPI Working Paper 100 Creating and sharing knowledge to help end poverty Brooks World Poverty Institute ISBN : 978-1-906518-58-5 www.manchester.ac.uk/bwpi Abstract This paper provides a chronological account of the evolution of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It examines their historical antecedents; the UN conferences and summits that provided their content; the role of OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) in formulating the International Development Goals (IDGs); the influence of the UN’s Secretariat in drafting the Millennium Declaration; and the final negotiations between the UN, DAC, World Bank, and IMF to amend the IDGs into the MDGs in 2001. This account reveals the complexity and unpredictability of global policy- making processes. Although the overarching structures of economic and political power framed all negotiations, so the MDGs are largely a rich world product for rich world audiences, there are opportunities for norm entrepreneurs and message entrepreneurs to exercise personal agency. As the time approaches for the assessment of the MDGs, at the UN General Assembly in September 2010, it is useful to reflect on the ‘chaos of accidents and purposes’ that generated the MDGs in the first place. Keywords: Millennium Develoment Goals, Global Public Policy, UN, Global Poverty, Foreign Aid, Development Finance David Hulme is Professor of Development Studies at The University of Manchester, and Director of The Brooks World Poverty Centre (BWPI) and The Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC).

  • Very Poor, for a Long Time, in Many Ways…
    Working Paper December 2008 No. 124 Very poor, for a long time, in many ways… Defining ‘the poorest’ for policymakers Karen Moore, Ursula Grant, David Hulme and Andrew Shepherd Brooks World Poverty Institute What is Chronic Poverty? Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK The distinguishing feature of chronic poverty is extended duration in absolute poverty. Therefore, chronically poor people always, or usually, live below a poverty line, which is normally defined in terms of a money indicator (e.g. consumption, income, etc.), but could also be defined in terms of wider or subjective aspects of deprivation. This is different from the transitorily poor, who move in and out of poverty, or only occasionally fall below the poverty line. Chronic Poverty Research C entre www.chronicpoverty.org ISBN: 978-1-906433-25-3 Very poor, for a long time, in many ways… Abstract This paper introduces the ways in which the poorest are defined, conceptualised and counted, and attempts to identify the characteristics that make such poverty intractable in the face of policy. We apply the concepts of absolute and relative poverty, as well as those of poverty depth, breadth and duration, to explore where to draw a line between the ‘merely poor’ and the poorest. We suggest that the poorest tend to be those who face, or have faced, multiple challenges in different spheres of life, and outline the causes of poverty that is absolutely or relatively severe, multidimensional and/or persistent. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of why development policy should be concerned with the poorest at all.

  • Microfinance – a Way Forward Thankom Arun, David Hulme
    Microfinance – A Way Forward 1 2 Thankom Arun, David Hulme 1 University of Central Lancashire 2 University of Manchester October 2008 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] BWPI Working Paper 54 Brooks World Poverty Institute ISBN : 978-1-906518-53-0 Creating and sharing knowledge to help end poverty www.manchester.ac.uk/bwpi Abstract This paper1 identifies key processes shaping the microfinance sector in the coming decades. The paper examines the geography of microfinance, highlighting differing evolution patterns and challenges across the world. It looks at the widespread adoption of a financial systems approach in the microfinance sector. This is set to continue because of two main processes: a shift in focus from poverty-lending towards financial service provision; and the involvement of formal banks in microfinance. The paper looks at the increasing focus on graduation programmes to support ultra-poor people, linking microfinance to social protection and other services. It outlines the great potential of new, low-cost ICT products to enable the development of new microfinance services. Finally, the need to regulate microfinance is discussed.
