Document Summary
Robertson mdgs and education : previous ideological differences between multilateral agencies in development have decreased and this compromise allows them to target one priority; poverty reduction, shift from gdp focus toward undps human development index. New debate about poverty took hold to make this possible; allows the right to claim that market-oriented policies aren"t inimical to the poor while the left can ring back redistribution and social justice. Still, there is discrepancy; un agencies speak in terms of inequality while. Oecd"s paper set the agenda as the first attempt to put together int. development goals in the form of targets. Contains clear specification of the risks and promises presented by globalisation and the need to meet the challenges implied by poverty and inequality at the global level. Talks about power relations between donors and developing countries. Comprehensive in recognising multinational nature of poverty. Priorities for macro, structural, and social policies.
