Wikiproject
[edit]Hi!, NicEMyer I will be happy to be of help in your Wiki project. Let me know the specific projects on which you are working. I may be a little slow in responding as I am in my village (where there is hardly any access to internet)on a religious mission). I will be fully free from 10th.--Nvvchar. 00:52, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
I replied here to your question; at first glance, that looks like a great topic that definitely needs a Wikipedia article.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:42, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- Sweet. I will start looking up some background and mocking up an article! NicEMyer (talk) 18:49, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- I am back from the gruelling trip to my village. The subject you have chosen for the article, the Barcelona Development Agenda, is a very good subject under Agenda 21. You may like to work on Agenda 21 also since it is not well referenced. To start with I have the following references to suggest for your study to start the article.
What works in development?: thinking big and thinking small
Debating globalization
The prospects for sustained growth in Africa: benchmarking ..., Issues 2007-2052
The Washington Consensus Reconsidered Towards a New Global Governance
Forum 2004. The legacy
Barelona metropolis mediterania
Universal Forum of Cultures Barcelona 2004
You may like to start your article under User:NicEMyer (section)/Barcelona Development Agenda, which could be transferred to main space after it is fully written. Also may like to use this tool [1] as format for Google book references. Looking forward to see the draft of your article.--Nvvchar. 02:19, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Barcelona Development Agenda
[edit]What follows has been moved to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:NicEMyer/Barcelona_Development_Agenda NicEMyer (talk) 19:59, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Introduction
[edit]The Barcelona Development Agenda is a statement of development principles formulated as a response to the prevailing Washington Consensus development model. Resulting from the collaboration of economists from both developing and developed countries at the 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures in Barcelona, Spain, the Barcelona Development Agenda outlines seven lessons learned from previous policy failures and successes, and presents them as priorities for future economic reforms. The principles emphasize a balance of market and government economic roles, flexible economic tools, and an increased role for sustainability and equity in governance.

Opening statement of BDA:
“We, a group of economists from developing and developed countries, met in Barcelona on September 24 and 25, 2004 to consider the prospects for growth and development around the world. We discussed the effect of economic reforms adopted by many developing nations over the last two decades, the lessons for economic policymaking that emerge from this experience, and the performance of the international economic system into which poor and middle-income countries are increasingly integrated.”
- Three encouraging trends
- Gains in human rights
- Growth in several countries that can potentially pull millions out of poverty
- Increasing recognition of the importance of macroeconomic stability
- Three reasons for concern
- Recurrence and severity of systemic financial crises affecting developing states
- later
- Mediocre record of economic reforms igniting growth in many regions
- later
- Persistence and widening of distributional inequalities in many developing states
- later
- Seven sets of lessons as seven priorities for reform
- Institutional quality (respect of law and property rights) plus market orientation (with balance between market and state) and distribution of income are at root of successful development strategies
- Large public and private debt, poorly regulated financial institutions, and loose monetary policies are serious hindrances to development
- No single set of policies can be guaranteed to ignite growth
- Multilateral trade negotiations should proceed in a manner that promotes development.
- International financial arrangements are not working well.
- Current international arrangements deal with movements of capital and labor asymmetrically.
- Environmental issues need to be addressed with sustainable development policies at both national and global levels.
