Democracy, Conflict, & Governance
Elections and the state of democracy in Africa
The global economy is on an unsustainable path characterized by widening economic and social inequities, environmental degradation, and increasing concentration of poverty and deprivation that threaten global peace and prosperity.
The Global Economy and Development program at Brookings generates actionable insights and tools that address shared economic and social challenges. We collaborate with local, national, and global policy actors and communities to achieve a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous world for all.
