New Varia Issue | DevPol 4.2 | 2013

The first section focuses on major development policy issues and presents original, peer-reviewed articles dealing with aid, trade, finance, human rights as well as social and environmental issues.

The policy debate section presents an initial discussion paper written either by a scholar or a policy-maker, followed by critical reactions from academics, reflective practitioners and other stakeholders in a constructive spirit. The debates can be followed here on the eJournal’s blog where you are invited to share your reflections under your name.
