Key quotes
· 3 pulledNew political, technological, and economic forces are changing the ways development is designed, practiced, and experienced today, in poor and rich countries alike.
Three interrelated elements, in particular, deserve our analytical attention: a geopolitically and economically unsettled global order, smart information and communication technologies, and extreme inter- and intra-country inequities.
