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.

Published two to three times per year 2008-2011

Editors: Mary McNeil, José-Manuel Bassat, John P. Didier, Junko Saito, Sina Odugbem

Designers have traditionally focused on enchancing the look and functionality of products.
Rise of the Global South and Its Impact on South-South Cooperation
(2010-10) Singh Puri, Hardeep
Over the past two decades, a fundamental transformation has taken place in the global economy caused by the impressive economic growth of developing countries like China, India, Brazil, and South Africa. The economic center of gravity is inexorably moving toward the developing South. The remarkable upsurge in cooperation between developing countries, characterized as South-South cooperation, must be understood as part of this larger story.
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. This approach is often referred to as the Beijing Consensus (BC) as compared to the Washington Consensus (WC): the former being a model of authoritarianism and heavy state involvement in the economy, the latter a model of neoliberal and market-oriented doctrines. But these characterizations are inaccurate.
Policy Responses to the Global Economic Crisis

The Contours and Possibilities of Open Development
(2011-09) Pradhan, Sanjay; Odugbemi, Sina
Is the idea of open development another vague, endlessly elastic term capturing what is merely a passing mood, a fad? The goal of this issue of Development Outreach is to strike a resounding No. We will define open development in a clear and robust manner; and we will show that, rather than being a passing fancy, the idea of open development actually captures an emerging paradigm shift in how development is being done. We are also going to show that this new paradigm will endure. Before we define what open development is, however, we need to understand what the vanishing development paradigm has been.
South-South Knowledge Exchange : A Natural Agenda for Latin America and the Caribbean
(2010-10) Quiñonez, Alfonso
South-South Cooperation (SSC) is a longstanding form of collaboration which has recently gained momentum, especially in the Americas. Two key elements explain the growing importance of SSC, its new modalities, and their contribution to triangular cooperation schemes.
Producing Home Grown Solutions : Think Tanks and Knowledge Networks in International Development
(2011-09) Datta, Ajoy; Young, John
Mainstream international development discourse has long heralded the importance of home grown solutions and national ownership of development policies. Ownership has been seen as the missing link between the significant development aid inflows from the North and poverty reduction outcomes in the South. You only have to look to international agreements such the 2002 Monterrey Consensus or the2005 Paris Declaration for evidence of this.
