| Welcome to the fortnightly newsletter of the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI). |
| 1st Issue October 2023 EditorialToday we are proud to announce that one of our Vice-Presidents, Iliana Olivié from the Elcano Royal Institute in Spain, has been appointed as Director of the European Thinktanks Group ETTG. And it’s also her who has written today’s blogpost which, on the example of Spain, analyses the possible impact of a greater polarization in Europe on the future of development agendas beyond the SDGs. And, of course, we’d like to encourage you to register for our upcoming distinguished guest lectures which offer first-hand insights and new perspectives on topics of broader interest to the community. And today’s featured members have also interesting events coming up. Have a look! From our Blog Domestic politics and global development. What to expect from Spain in the construction of the post-2030 Agenda »In the event of a greater political polarization in Europe, the region currently championing for multilateralism and global development agendas on poverty, climate change, or health could end up with no clear proposals on global development, jeopardising the very continuity of development agendas ». Iliana Olivié discusses what recent and projected developments in the political landscape of Spain could mean for the post-2030 agenda.

Shifts in the global tax regime make this an even more urgent task. Transparency is a necessary first step in that direction. With countries worldwide under pressure to safeguard fiscal space, a review of tax expenditures is moving up on policy agendas around the globe. Read more Highlight: Why Some Development Works Why Some Development Works. Understanding SuccessMeera Tiwari’s book is now open access! She looks at both macro and, the less known, micro success stories and considers what enabled these projects to bring change in some of the world’s most deprived communities. Using case studies from countries across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Tiwari’s innovative approach offers a multi-layered understanding of poverty which provides insights into causal, enabling and impeding factors.
