“Against the background of the recent global financial crises it is crucial to assess global debt trends. Volatility in global debt flows and the changing financial landscape for emerging markets requires the build up of an efficient and effective global debt governance framework including an adequate debt governance framework by the International Financial Institutions. The upcoming workshop on global debt dynamics organised by the Sussex Centre for Global Political Economy (CGPE) in co-operation with IDS Centre for Rising Powers and Global Development (CRPD) provides the opportunity for many experts in this field to assess and discuss global debt trends.”
