In a Talking Points Audio interview, ECDPM’s Head of Strategy, Jean Bossuyt, outlines why the EC’s decision is a surprise, and not a surprise. ‘You badly need Political Economy Analysis, that should be the principle,’ he says. How Political Economy Analysis is done is not the issue. The essence is that the European Union Delegations have the tools to properly read rapidly evolving political situations, so they can detect where there is traction in society, and can then tailor their cooperation accordingly. ‘The worst for European cooperation credibility is that you go very far on the political road in terms of policy discourse, but you remain under equipped in terms of instruments.’ That would be a recipe for failure, says Bossuyt. new_dpir_team development_policy policy_news new_at_ECDPM new_governance_team dpir political_economy_analysis eu_development_effectiveness governance Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:03:09 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/8f5cff1b3012f9ba3c383012e98a6cdf#cotonou_online http://www.ecdpm.org/Web_ECDPM/Web/Content/Navigation.nsf/index2?readform&http://www.ecdpm.org/Web_ECDPM/Web/Content/Content.nsf/0/E124A94138256FE5C1257BAA0047C6B9?OpenDocument http://del.icio.us/url/8f5cff1b3012f9ba3c383012e98a6cdf http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/8f5cff1b3012f9ba3c383012e98a6cdf cotonou_online's links This European Think-Tanks Group’s High-Level Conference, taking place on 28 October, will address some of the strategic and thematic questions around the future of the partnership in the lead up to the Africa-EU Summit in April 2014. It will explore, in particular, four vital areas: African private sector development, governance, food security and dialogue on peace and security challenges. Participation will include high-level speakers and interveners from Africa and Europe, including policymakers, the private sector, think-tanks and civil society. Hon. Thabo Mbeki (tbc), former President of the Republic of South Africa, will make a keynote address at the gala dinner. The event is by invitation only, but we aim to generate a lot of discussion with a wide group of stakeholders ahead of the meeting. new_dpir_team eu-au policy_news new_at_ECDPM major_events new_governance_team dpir international_relations Fri, 26 Jul 2013 14:58:14 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/22fb40903fbd25ddf41fc438def45a2a#cotonou_online http://www.ecdpm.org/Web_ECDPM/Web/Content/Navigation.nsf/index2?readform&http://www.ecdpm.org/Web_ECDPM/Web/Content/Content.nsf/0/172D5FC75F303A50C1257B9C002A23DF?OpenDocument http://del.icio.us/url/22fb40903fbd25ddf41fc438def45a2a http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/22fb40903fbd25ddf41fc438def45a2a cotonou_online's links Three decades of decentralisation reforms have led to subnational officials across Latin America now possessing a historical, unprecedented level of political authority and fiscal autonomy according to a new Discussion Paper by ECDPM's Jean Bossuyt. The report was a basis for discussion at a recent regional EU seminar, facilitated by ECDPM, bringing together EU Delegations, local authorities and key experts from the region to reflect on EC support to decentralisation processes in the region. The report recommends that the EU should make flexible use of its funding modalities in order to use decentralisation as a means towards better local development outcomes. new_dpir_team development_policy policy_news new_at_ECDPM new_governance_team dpir local_governance_decentralisation governance eu_development_effectiveness Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:25:52 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/c83716db5b42a575550ea821e3f21f56#cotonou_online http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f3098f0aa17cc73cc4c42bc9b&id=a480ecaaf0&e=61daaeec75 http://del.icio.us/url/c83716db5b42a575550ea821e3f21f56 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/c83716db5b42a575550ea821e3f21f56 cotonou_online's links Editor’s Pick: What and who drives regional integration in Southern Africa?

It now takes centre stage in the G8, EU and US political agendas. Conservative estimates indicate losses of over $100 billion in tax revenues annually. ECDPM’s Florian Krätke examines the recent G8 attempts to make national tax administrations undodgeable and what implications this has for developing countries. He finds that promoting a multilateral tax system with the OECD in the driving seat has distinct disadvantages. He argues it is more important for developing countries to be able to negotiate forcefully and competently with multinational enterprises to take full advantage of the opportunities to tax their profits and rents from operation. financing4development eu_external_assistance new_dpir_team development_policy new_at_ECDPM dpir eu_development_effectiveness acpeutrade governance_of_economic_reform policy_news new_trade_team new_governance_team governance Sun, 30 Jun 2013 05:57:45 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/1436a5e7a9575d2f1a5586772400182f#cotonou_online http://www.ecdpm-talkingpoints.org/what-next-for-eu-support-to-decentralisation-in-latin-and-central-america/ http://del.icio.us/url/1436a5e7a9575d2f1a5586772400182f http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/1436a5e7a9575d2f1a5586772400182f cotonou_online's links A recent evaluation, carried out by ECDPM and partners, stressed the need for the EU to embed its actions supporting decentralisation reforms across the developing world in a much more coherent and politically savvy strategy in order to ensure greater impact and sustainability. To do this, the European Commission is conducting regional seminars with EU delegations. The first took place in June in Quito. ECDPM’s Jean Bossuyt facilitated the meeting and explains in our Talking Points blog that many powers oppose the emergence of strong and effective local authorities. The challenge for donors, he says, is to be an ally of these reformist forces at local level in order to empower them to pursue their positive role in the delivery of development and governance outcomes. new_dpir_team policy_news new_at_ECDPM new_governance_team governance local_governance_decentralisation Fri, 21 Jun 2013 15:06:08 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/13687cd80adcbb131175847cb98598ef#cotonou_online http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f3098f0aa17cc73cc4c42bc9b&id=93a750f58f http://del.icio.us/url/13687cd80adcbb131175847cb98598ef http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/13687cd80adcbb131175847cb98598ef cotonou_online's links Editor’s Pick: Post-2015 and beyond 2020: What new perspectives for Africa-EU and ACP-EU relations?
