The Korea-World Bank High Level Conference on Post-Crisis Growth and
Development, held in June 2010, in Busan, Republic of Korea,
successfully brought key development issues to the forefront, laid the
groundwork for setting global development priorities, and advanced the
discussion among the international community, the G20, and the non-G20
countries on development policy. This volume compiles the papers and
proceedings presented at this conference, which was attended by a mix
of delegations from international organizations, high-level government
officials, and eminent academics and practitioners. The conference
covered a number of areas that are critical to the global development
agenda and central to the G20's mandate to foster "strong,
sustainable, and balanced growth."
The topics covered in the volume include both broad themes and
specific sectors. The cross-cutting papers include: the emergence of
multipolar growth in the post-crisis period led by structural reforms
and rebalancing growth; an analysis of Korea's development
experience that draws lessons on how to transform from a low-income
country to an advanced economy in one generation; and the impact of the
global crisis on achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by
2015 and regaining momentum toward their completion. The sectoral
papers include: promoting aid for trade, specifically in resisting
protectionism and recommitting to the Doha agenda; supporting
infrastructure and sustainable development; ensuring agriculture and
food security; and advancing inclusive finance.
The volume makes a strong case for integrating development into the
G20 agenda and the need to bring non-G20 developing countries on board
to ensure their participation in the global recovery and sustained
growth and to enhance the legitimacy and credibility of the G20
process.
