Canadian Development Report 2004
Investing in poor countries: Who Benefits?
In this seventh edition of the Canadian Development Report, international experts explore the impact of Private foreign investment on the poorest developing countries. This volume explains why private foreign investment and its relationship to other forms of financing for development (aid, foreign debt, domestic savings) has been the focus of attention within the context of NEPAD, Monterrey, the Millennium Development Goals, and the Global Compact.
CDR 2004 poses key questions related to PFI: Can private foreign investment help poor countries finally escape the poverty trap? Will foreign investment largely replace foreign aid, or can they work together to magnify the impact on growth and development? What is the impact of PFI on the environment, on conflict, on public-private partnerships, and on policies related to privatization?
The CDR 2004 includes three chapters which provide information and debate on PFI. The first, Private Foreign Investment: Part of the Problem or Part of the Solution?, by Roy Culpeper, President of The North-South Institute, examines in detail factors which impact on the poorest countries — “countries facing both the greatest need for external resources and the most formidable challenges of development.” Chapter Two, by Matthew Martin with Cleo Rose-Innes, both of Development Finance International, is entitled Private Capital Flows to Low Income Countries: Perception and Reality. The final chapter, by Oswald Mashindano of the University of Dar es Salaam is The Case of Tanzania, which tracks the potential benefits of foreign investment for the population of that country. The volume is eloquently introduced in a Foreword written by David Behena of the Bank of Uganda.
In addition, the 2004 CDR includes up-to-date statistics and analysis related to social and economic indicators of developing countries along with statistics regarding the Canadian government’s trade-related involvement with developing countries.
The CDR 2004 is a valuable reference tool for students, analysts, policy-makers and others with interests in development and, more specifically, in private foreign investment and its ramifications. The edition is available in both English and French.

Canadian
Development Report 2003
From Doha to Cancun: Development and the WTO
Can
trade really benefit all?
The sixth edition of the Canadian Development Report
(CDR) looks at multilateral trade arrangements from
both the perspectives of the North and the South.
It highlights relevant development issues such as
those regarding market access and the WTO Intellectual
Property Agreement (TRIPS) raised at the November
2001 WTO meeting in Doha, Qatar.
The CDR 2003 features two essays which encourage
readers to reflect on both sides of the coin. In
"The Doha Development Agenda - The Road Ahead",
contributor Pradeep S. Mehta (Secretary General,
Consumer Unity & Trust Society) provides the
perspective of the South, by examining the Doha
Development Agenda, analyzing its key issues and
assessing the major gains and losses for developing
countries. An account of the concerns of these countries
regarding the multilateral trading system is included
as well as relevant policy recommendations.
Chantal Blouin (Researcher on Trade and Development,
The North-South Institute) and Ann Weston (Vice-President
and Research Coordinator, The North-South Institute)
provide a perspective from the North, looking at
Canada's involvement in trade arrangements with
developing countries as well as focusing on the
importance of investment. The Canadian position
on the issues of Trade-Related Technical Assistance
and the impact of TRIPS on access to medicine for
poor patients in developing countries is also examined,
raising the question of where the nation should
stand on these issues at the WTO.
In addition, the 2003 CDR includes up-to-date statistics
and analysis related to social and economic indicators
of developing countries along with statistics regarding
the Canadian government's trade-related involvement
with developing countries.
The CDR 2003 is a valuable reference tool for students,
analysts and policy-makers with interests in development
and especially the pertinent issue of trade. The
edition is available in both English and French.

Canadian
Development Report 2000 A
review of Canadian foreign policy toward developing
countries at the turn of the century, the Canadian
Development Report 2000 examines whether Canada's
actions have lived up to its rhetoric in the areas

to be building in Canada for a more proactive
foreign policy.
In a special guest essay,
Stephen Lewis, former Deputy Executive Director
of UNICEF and former Canadian Ambassador to the

ourselves the most valued friend of the full constellation
of developing countries."

annual series, CDR 2000 also includes more
than 40 pages of up-to-date statistical data and
