Trade and Development

Trade is indispensable to fostering greater levels of global economic development. As the OECD has written, “No country has lifted itself out of poverty without international trade.” This category consolidates GTIPA-member reports assessing the intersection of trade and economic development.

Europe 2030. How we will live in ten years

The book "Europe 2030" offers an outlook for the next few years. The time span of ten years is manageable and the statements are therefore verifiable.

Only a Free Market and Disciplined Parliament can End Corruption

When they consider how to root out corruption in government South Africans are fond of throwing around buzzwords such as "mechanisms", "transparency", and "accountability".

Civil society must go beyond the buzzwords and enter the trenches of detail. Only then will it be discovered that the root cause of corruption in South Africa is found in two facts: There is overregulation of the economy, and Parliament bestows too much discretionary power on executive officials. Both of these phenomena incentivize corruption.
