Transforming the Development Landscape: The Role of the Private Sector
Private sector activity is an essential element of any successful economic development plan. It shapes the investment climate, mobilizes innovation and financing, and can increase or decrease the level of harm that might accompany development projects. This volume, emerging from the Brookings Blum Roundtable, investigates ways to galvanize the private sector and bring its resources to bear in the war against global poverty.

Contributors: Larry Cooley (Management Systems International), David de Ferranti (Brookings Institution), Timothy Freundlich (Calvert Social Investment......

What causes nurses to decide to migrate? Is this migration voluntary or in some way coerced? When developing countries are faced with nurse vacancy rates of more than 40 percent, is recruitment by industrialized countries fair play in a......
