Beyond aid policies in Europe Owen Barder

Rich countries can do more than aid

Removing trade barriers gives poor countries access to markets and jobs

Encouraging investment and fighting international bribery

Allowing migrants to seek higher-paying jobs and send remittances

Protecting the environment and the global commons

Fostering security and protecting international sea-lanes

Disseminating technology prompts innovation in developing countries

Beyond aid policies in Europe Owen Barder, Center for Global Development in Europe

Development is about more than aid TRADE Lifting barriers to goods from poor countries INVESTMENT Fighting international bribery Political risk insurance MIGRATION Foreign students Aid to regugees TECHNOLOGY Incentivising R&D Limiting intellectual property rights SECURITY Peace-keeping Protecting sea lanes ENVIRONMENT GHG emissions Preservation of biodiversity

Europe is not as good as expected

Europe tackles the symptoms of poverty

but could do better to address its causes
