Political Economy of Additional Development Finance

Anthony Clunies-Ross and John Langmore

No DP2006-09, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: The paper considers the political obstacles and supports for additional development finance and a number of possible devices through which advantage may be taken of the supports and the obstacles circumvented. It emphasizes the need for effective negotiating alliances among developing-country governments that will draw on support from outside their own ranks. It gives particular attention to the 'innovative' methods by which funds might be mobilized by transnational activity for global disposal within a strategy for the progressive reduction of poverty.
