In this meeting, participants presented drafts of papers that formed the basis of the discussion. Many of these papers will be developed for publication in a volume as part of the IPD book series. The topics covered include the inter-related and overlapping mix of: accelerating growth; the lessons of Asian experience; trade and industrial policy; the African developmental state; commodities and resource management; agriculture; the international agenda; and poverty and conflict.
