IBSN 978-1-936727-00-1 On March 31, 2011, Boston University\u2019s Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future in collaboration with the BU Global Development program held a conference titled Development That Works<\/em>.<\/p>\n The conference organizing committee comprised Boston University professors Kevin Gallagher<\/a> (International Relations and BU Global Development), Dilip Mookherjee<\/a> (Economics), Jonathon Simon<\/a> (Public Health) and Adil Najam<\/a> (Pardee Center Director, International Relations, and Geography and Environment), who each chaired one of the sessions. They brought together stellar panels on various aspects that are central to development programs, including: global economic governance as it influences and impacts development; public and private investment in development programs; social enterprise programs related to development issues; and economic development from traditional \u2013 and not-so-traditional \u2013 perspectives.<\/p>\n The theme and the title of the conference stemmed from the conference organizers\u2019 desire to explore, from a ground-level perspective, what programs, policies, and practices have been shown \u2013 or have the potential \u2013 to achieve sustained, long-term advances in development in various parts of the world. The intent was not to simply showcase \u201csuccess stories,\u201d but rather to explore the larger concepts and opportunities that have resulted in development that is meaningful and sustainable over time.<\/p>\n This conference report features essays written by Boston University graduate students that capture the salient points and over-arching themes from the four sessions.
