1. KDI’s Collaborative Research Project with the Brookings Institution Center for International Development Korea Development Institute CID@KDI Consolidation of the G20

2.  The Brookings Institution BI has played a leading intellectual role in making the leaders’ G20 (L20) a reality. BI experts have advocated a new global governance structure based on the G20 at least since 2004.  Korea Development Institute KDI had a rather late start in global governance research but expended a considerable amount of time and energy on G20 related issues. KDI had worked on a project commissioned by the G20 Committee analyzing the policies of the G20 member countries as a part of the Mutual Assessment Process to ensure collective consistency. KDI experts have focused on the growth-oriented development agenda as well as institutional innovations such as systematic consultations with non- G20 members. Background

3.  KDI, BI Common Idea The introduction of a development agenda and the establishment of a secretariat would enhance the G20’s representativeness legitimacy and effectiveness legitimacy, as the G20 makes a transition from a crisis management committee to a global steering committee. Korea’s remarkable development experience over the past half-century would add credibility for the contribution toward the G20.  How We Initiated the Co-research Project January 2010 – to define the contours of the joint project To designate project coordinators from KDI and BI February 2010 – to discuss the details of the projects, such as scope of the research, major participants Background

4. Objectives  To consolidate the G20 to become “the premier forum for international economic cooperation” from a crisis management committee To increase the world’s interests in the G20 Seoul Summit To contribute to the development of new agenda (development and financial safety net) and agenda-setting To contribute to strengthen the legitimacy and effectiveness of the G20 To embrace the G20 non-member countries’ view and thoughts  To build up networks with internationally prominent think tanks, such as Brookings and CIGI (Centre for International Governance Innovation) After this project KDI maintains a close relationship with BI and CIGI: experts from the two institutions have actively participated in workshops and conferences hosted by KDI in 2011 and 2012.

17. KDI’s Collaborative Research Project with The Asia Foundation Center for International Development Korea Development Institute CID@KDI Asian Approaches to Development Cooperation

18.  The Asia Foundation Non-profit, non-governmental organization with nearly 60 years of experience in Asia TAF collaborates with private and public partners to support leadership and institutional development, exchanges, and policy research. Currently TAF has expanded its nationally based policy work with these organizations to explore policy and practice around the issue of development cooperation.  Korea Development Institute Internationally KDI has sought to share Korea’s experience and knowledge with other countries that are facing the challenge of initiating and sustaining development, primarily through Korea’s Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP). To share Korea’s development experience and contribute to international development cooperation, KDI established the International Development Exchange Program (IDEP) in 1982, which in 2010 was expanded into the Center for International Development (CID). Background

19.  KDI, TAF Common Idea The current international aid architecture is largely a product of the consensus forged by OECD DAC however it is being challenged by the increasing presence of newly emerging countries that are mostly not members of DAC. Many of the newly emerging countries take a different approach to developmentcooperation from DAC donors, as well as base the design of their cooperation programs on their own experience. Korea should take advantage of its position as a bridge between emerging and advanced countries (donors) to take a proactive role in organizing Asian dialogue forums.  How We Initiated the Co-research Project August 2010 – to float the idea of organizing a series of dialogue featuring emerging development actors October 2010 – to discuss the major participants of the project (government officials, analysts, and practitioners from China, India, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand Background

20. Objectives  To clarify and raise awareness of how Asian development partners operate: objectives, principles, motivations and funding levels.  To contribute Asian development partner views to the international dialogue on aid effectiveness and architecture, particularly HLF4.  To promote mutual interest, learning, understanding and opportunities for collaboration between and among rising Asian, and traditional development actors, including their partners.
