Choreographed G8 that will showcase the art of compromise

CGD Senior Program Associate Owen Barder is quoted in the Scotsman about the upcoming G8 meetings. "The [UK's] objectives for the summit are ambitious but achievable if our political leaders are willing to give sufficient priority to them…The aid and debt targets are achievable: compared to other public spending programmes, only modest additional resources are needed, and straightforward institutional changes would improve the impact of aid. The trade objectives will be more difficult."
