  • Here Has Been a Long History of Reform EBRD Had Always Been Held by Either a French Or Proposals for Ifis Which Have Included the Need German National (Table 1)
    POLICY BRIEF 19 JUNE 2017 Sir Suma Chakrabarti Source: EBRD Free, open, merit-based selection for a president of an IFI: a rare case study Bob McMullan SUMMARY Despite calls for reforms to selection processes for appointing their leadership, international financial institutions (IFIs) have been slow to embrace transparency and competitiveness, and to move beyond their traditions of automatically appointing nationals of particular countries to their top roles. However, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) bucked this trend during its selection of a new leader in 2012, due to a unique set of circumstances arising. Bob McMullan, former Australian Member of Parliament and an Executive Director of the EBRD, recounts his experience during this selection process, and offers reflections on how these entrenched processes in IFIs could be slowly changed. KEY POINTS • The case of the EBRD presidential ballot in 2012 shows that from time to time, opportunities may arise to set new precedents in the election of leaders of international financial institutions. • Australia should remain alert to the possibility of circumstances arising which make a free and open elections a possibility in the IFIs of which it is a member. The Development Policy Centre is part of Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University. We undertake analysis and promote discussion on Australian aid, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific and global development policy.

  • A Journey Through Polish Literature
    A JOURNEY THROUGH POLISH LITERATURE European Literature 09 OCTOBRE 2013 GORA BERNADETTE Henryk Sienkiewicz (1905), Władysław Reymont (1924), Czesław Miłosz (1980), Wisława Szymborska (1996). How many of you know these four authors and know what they have in common, besides their nationalities? The four of them were awarded a Nobel Prize but nevertheless remain little known outside of Poland. How many of you can give the name of, at least, one polish contemporary author? These examples, among many others, prove that Polish literature remains unknown despite it being a big part of European literature. To start my presentation, I’d like you to have a look on this quotation by Czesław Miłosz who wrote, among other, a book about the History of Polish Literature (The History of Polish Literature, Berckeley,1969). In his work, he wrote “Polish literature focused more on drama and the poetic expression of the self than on fiction (which dominated the English-speaking world). The reasons find their roots on the historical circumstances of the nation.” Over a first phase, it thus seems important to start out with a broad overview of the general history of Polish literature throughout the ages before we can understand what happened during the 20th century, and fully understand the main references to the previous time periods which we can find today. In Polish literature, historical problems have always been an essential characteristic. One can notice that Polish literature has always been torn between its social duties and literary obligations. With this in mind, it is possible for me to offer you the promised journey through my national literature.
