Working Group on Development, Trade, and International Finance
Staff: Walter Russell Mead, Henry A. Kissinger Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy
January 1, 1999 - June 30, 2002
The overarching goal of the project is to identify restructuring options for the international financial architecture that would stimulate the long-term flow of private capital to the developing world. More specifically, the working group is undertaking the development and promotion of one or more alternative working models for reform of the world financial architecture; the advancement of concrete proposals for countries interested in shifting from export-led growth to internally driven economic development; and the development of ideas to make the international financial system more open and accountable to the larger public interest. One of the final products will be a report by Walter Russell Mead and Sherle Schwenninger.
