Development Outreach was a magazine in the field of global knowledge for development. Managed by the World Bank Institute, it was published two or three times a year from 2009 to 2011 and reflected the learning programs of the World Bank. The magazine was designed to occupy the middle ground between scholarly journal and general interest magazine, and it presented a range of viewpoints from renowned authors and specialists worldwide. Articles on complex topics were written to be accessible to the general reader. Articles were reviewed by an international editorial board culled from the private sector, development community at large, and academia.

Beijing Consensus Or Washington Consensus : What Explains China's Economic Success?
(2011-04) Yao, Yang
China's remarkable economic growth is often attributed to strong government intervention that can mobilize large amounts of resources to clear any bottleneck to growth or institutional change.

South-South Cooperation and Knowledge Exchange : A Perspective from Civil Society
(2010-10) Cruz, Anabel
South-South cooperation is not new. It has been around for several decades in the form of economic integration, cultural exchanges, and technical cooperation.

New actors and approaches have entered the development cooperation landscape.
