- Conference Extractive Industries and Local Governance in Developing
Countries: Successes and Challenges
Abstract: On 18 January 2016, scholars from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America joined Swiss-based NGO and private sector representatives at the Graduate Institute, Geneva, to discuss issues of accountability, governance, growth and transparency in the extractive sector. Extractive industries play an important role in resource-rich developing countries. Natural resource extraction makes a significant contribution to GDP and government revenue in such countries. However, there are many risks associated with resource dependence including commodity price volatility, lack of transparency and corruption, environmental degradation, displacement of communities and labour rights violations, which can outweigh the economic benefits. Key questions addressed at the conference include: What policy measures can be used to strengthen the local governance of extractive industries' What can be done to reduce the risk of extractive industries causing enclave economies' What measures can be taken to minimise ...

- Internal Peer-Reviewing Workshop Conflicts of Development
Abstract: On 7 and 8 September 2015, 18 authors and experts met at the Graduate Institute, Geneva, for an in-depth authors workshop organised by International Development Policy. The participants spent two days examining various kinds of ‘Conflicts of the Development’, which will constitute the subject of a special issue of the journal edited by Béatrice Hibou (SciencesPo Paris) and Irene Bono (University of Turin). The volume will be released in the second half of 2016 and will feature women authors only.
The workshop put together scholars specialised in the Middle-East and North Africa coming from different disciplinary perspectives. Brought together by a common concern for historical and geographical contextualisation, the papers discussed tensions around development discourses, practices and goals taking the form of protests, war and/or consensuses.

Abstract: The first Live Policy Debate on the failure of the aid system in Haiti took place on 25 February 2014 at the Graduate Institute in Geneva and was a great success. More than 200 policymakers, practitioners, professors and students gathered in Maison de la Paix to follow the lively debate between Jean-Marc Biquet (MSF CERAH), Andrea Binder (GPPi) and Elyse Mosquini (Disaster Law Programme, IFRC), who analysed the emergency response in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake. Each panellist briefly presented their reflections before opening the debate to the floor and inviting the audience to participate. The debate was moderated by Prof. Gilles Carbonnier (Graduate Institute Editor-in-chief of the journal International Development Policy). The event drew upon the written debate Failure of the Aid System in Haiti, which was published in the journal International Development Policy in 2013.
