可以持续的信念
华盛顿——实现世界持续发展的条件是树立新的世界观，新世界观更看重每个人的成功机会和人类安全，而不把收入视作幸福生活独一无二的条件。我们应当从这个角度认真思考世界的未来。首先，这个世界将会远离陆上、水上和太空的冲突，同时确保今天仍然忍饥挨饿或者营养不良的7.39亿人享受到食品安全。…

复苏和平等
纽约—全球经济危机加剧了已经存在的人道危机。2008年以前，不平等性便已普遍存在：一些人过着铺张奢侈的生活，而全世界一半的儿童每天生活费不足2美元，经受着各种各样的痛苦——从营养不良到卫生、教育、饮用水和住房不足。随着危机的发酵，千百万人面临着生活条件的恶化。如今，全世界的目光都…

绿色，从草根开始
布卢明顿— 人们对联合国里约+20峰会寄予厚望。许多人将其称为“地球A计划”（Plan A for Planet Earth），希望领导人形成一份单一国际协定保护我们的生命维持系统、防止地球陷入全球性人道主义危机。里约峰会不作为将是灾难性的，但单一国际协定也是个大错误。我们不能依…

照亮黑暗之洲
内罗毕—19世纪的欧洲探险家将非洲称为“黑暗之洲”，因为对他们来说，这是一篇广袤而未知的土地。如今，非洲仍然是一片黑暗，但此黑暗非彼黑暗：非洲缺电。事实上，夜间卫星影像显示，除了南部和北部之外，整个非洲一片黑暗，只有零星几点亮光。联合国已将2012年定为国际可持续能源年（Inte…

夺取可持续发展的胜利
赫尔辛基/约翰内斯堡—世界正走在一条不可持续的道路上，必须尽快制定新方向，在经济主流中嵌入公平和环境的考量。为了达到这一目标，我们必须从现在开始实践可持续发展——不是说要顶着经济危机的压力如此，而是说正因为经济危机才要如此。如今，我们面临着众多挑战。经济在动摇，生态系统岌岌可危，…

社团主义：资本主义的毒瘤
纽约——资本主义的未来再一次成为了疑问。资本主义可以从现阶段危机中存活吗？如果不能，资本主义会发生演变吗？政府会在其中起到领导作用吗？ “资本主义”一词意指一种经济制度，在这种制度中，资本为私人拥有和交易；资本的所有者判断资本的最佳用途，在做出判断时，他们可以参考企业家…
The Development Drama
Is unrestricted foreign investment what developing countries need most? Is Africa destined to “catch up” with the developed world? Are advanced countries’ development-assistance policies doing more harm than good? How can women be empowered in the struggle to eradicate poverty and hunger in developing countries? Can poor countries afford the education that they need to grow?
Sustained economic growth and development is widely regarded as the most direct path out of human misery. And strong growth rates in developing countries are important for advanced countries as well, because the cost of backwardness, in both economic and geopolitical terms, is high – and rises with every new technological advance.
But understanding what makes poor economies take off – and maintain an upward growth trajectory – is one of the most vexing tasks facing researchers and policymakers.
Moreover, while developing countries need economic growth, they also must determine what is a fair price to pay for it. As they develop, they face new problems – congested cities, environmental pollution, and exploitation, for example – with which both they and rich countries must reckon.
Every month, in Project Syndicate’s exclusive series The Development Drama, readers gain access to the best critical thinking on the impact of development strategies on countries everywhere. Previous Project Syndicate contributors on development issues include top economists, businessmen, and policymakers, such as former US Treasury Secretary and former chief economic adviser to US President Barack Obama Larry Summers; financier George Soros, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, European Central Bank board member Jürgen Stark, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, and World Bank Chief Economist Justin Yifu Lin.
* Project Syndicate is producing this series in cooperation with the European Journalism Center and People In Need, in order to strengthen public understanding of economic-development issues in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia.
