Getting Development Right

University of Pittsburgh, Ph.D., M.A., B.A. Eva Paus has published widely on different aspects of globalization and development. She recently co-edited 'Global Giant: Is China Changing the Rules of the Game?' (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009), which is based on the McCulloch Center conference "The Rise of China" in March 2008. Her current research projects focus on the implications of the rise of China for the development prospects of (other) developing countries, the dilemma of policy space for pro-active development policies under current international multi-lateral and bilateral trade agreements, the role of foreign direct investment in the development process, and successful strategies in moving towards high-technology production.Paus is the director of the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives, a key part of the Plan for Mount Holyoke 2010. The mission of the Center is to equip MHC students to confront the global challenges of the 21st century.

"Finally, a twenty first century book about development that emphasizes how growth, diversification, equality, and the environment are the key ingredients for prosperity. This book couldn't come at a better time, as policy-makers and scholars debate what is next for the Millennium Development Goals." - Kevin P. Gallagher, Boston University, Boston, USA "This book presents a valuable collection of studies that deal with the challenging trade-offs among inclusionary growth, environmental sustainability and structural transformation. It emphasizes the importance of growth-enhancing structural transformation as the basis for growth. An integrated approach is needed because an isolated analysis of each of the challenges is of limited use. This book is an important step in our common journey towards an integrated solution." - Keun Lee, Seoul National University, South Korea "Developing countries today face a triple challenge: how to increase productivity, reduce inequalities of opportunity, and sustain environmental quality. Getting Development Right offers fresh insights into all three pieces of the development puzzle. The book strikes a fine balance in analyzing both the obstacles and the opportunities being created by the global integration of markets and governance." - James K. Boyce, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA
