The Global Development Policy Podcast

The Global Development Policy Podcast brings together leading scholars and policy experts to examine the forces shaping international development in a rapidly changing world. Hosted by Eric Olander and Cobus van Staden, the podcast features conversations with researchers from Boston University's Global Development Policy Center on the most pressing issues in global development—from international finance and sovereign debt to industrial policy, trade, climate, energy, infrastructure and global economic governance. Grounded in original research and informed by current events, each episode translates complex policy questions into engaging conversations for policymakers, journalists, business leaders, researchers, students and anyone interested in the future of global development. The series explores how governments, international institutions and emerging economies are responding to today's biggest development challenges, providing evidence-based insights into the policies shaping tomorrow's world. The Global Development Policy Podcast is a co-production of the Boston University Global Development Policy Center and the China Global South Project.
