Ali Allawi and Shiping Tang will debate current development strategies in the developing world. Our speakers will address key issues in development thought, including the role of neoliberalism, institutions and other major factors in generating long-term economic growth. In particular they will focus on how globalisation, the rise of China and rising inequalities have altered strategies of economic development in the 21st century.
