41. Pooled funding supports best practices in UN development work

    

    Baumann, Max-Otto / Abualghaib, Ola (2024)

    The article argues that an effective way to evaluate UN funding modalities is to assess the extent to which they promote best practices in UN development work. The Disability Fund of the UN Partnership on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNPRD) provides an example of how pooled funds can foster best practices in the UN development system.

48. The EU’s Global Gateway and China’s Belt and Road: two strategies and two realities for the Southern Mediterranean

    

    Furness, Mark (2024)

    The 2011 Arab uprisings promised political, economic, and social change for the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean. Since then, the region has changed, but not as many had expected. This paper discusses the investment strategies of two of the most important international partners for the region: the EU and China. The Global Gateway and Belt and Road strategies are mechanisms for building influence and accessing resources in a competitive global geostrategic environment. There are nevertheless important overlaps and potential synergies that could be exploited for the benefit of MENA societies as well as the EU and China.

49. Investment Facilitation for Development: what’s at stake at the 13th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization?

    

    Berger, Axel / Zoryana Olekseyuk (2024)

    The current debate on the Investment Facilitation for Development (IFD) Agreement could be very consequential for the World Trade Organization (WTO) although it is not part of the official calendar of next week’s 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) in Abu Dhabi. A group of WTO Members have launched discussions on a plurilateral agreement on Investment Facilitation for Development at the 11th Ministerial Conference in 2017. These discussions have turned into actual negotiations from September 2020 onwards and in July 2023, around two thirds of the WTO’s Memberships concluded text-based negotiations. At MC13, Members aim at finalising the negotiations and integrating the plurilateral IFD Agreement into the WTO legal system. So what is at stake? Why is the IFD Agreement so controversial? And what do we know about its potential economic effects?

    Brandi, Clara / Zoryana Olekseyuk (2024)

    Bei der in der nächsten Woche stattfindenden WTO-Ministerkonferenz steht viel auf dem Spiel: Die Mitgliedstaaten müssen Entscheidungen für drängende Herausforderungen treffen – in einem Umfeld, das von Kriegen, Inflation und Protektionismus geprägt ist.
