Global Public Policy - MGPP

Can Russia be one of the world's 5 most powerful economies by 2024? It is the key goal of the Russian Government, but is it achievable? To meet this goal, economic growth will have to exceed averages in Western Europe and the US while keeping inflation at a rate not above 4%. For MGPP, this means assessing the impact of public policies on the economy and on policy-making itself. The range of accelerated reforms that may be necessary to reach this goal includes investment in science and innovative technology, university education for a more skilled entrepreneurial leadership, improved efficiency in attracting FDI by the regions, and sustained progress across the most innovative export-oriented sectors. This talk focuses on the government’s commitment to this essentially results-oriented medium- and long-term policy planning, and to diversification for encouragement of entrepreneurship. We think there is some chance it will fall short of this goal in terms of economic diversification. However, we also ask if the advantages Russia can achieve just through stability and impressive growth will help strengthen Russia’s geopolitical position.

This week we have links to articles on two boldly innovative new schools that are attempting to refashion primary and secondary education to answer the startling global changes in the
workforce and in the physical environment of the planet. The first is a new (and massively financed) school in Moscow, while the second is an already-operating environmentally focused school in Bali, Indonesia.

Water is fast becoming a global crisis and this article makes it clear that it is happening now, not at some point in the vague future.

We’re running out of water, and the world’s powers are very worried Classified U.S. cables between American diplomats show a mounting concern by global political and business leaders that water shortages could spark unrest across the world, with dire consequences.

RANEPA representative elected to PRME committee for Central and Eastern Europe

PRME was created at the summit of the UN Global Compact as part of a program for corporate social responsibility and stable development in 2007. This is the only UN initiative for the commercial sector. “The launch of a new PRME division unites the leading business schools in the region,” PRME secretariat head Jonas Haertle. “The fact that this division of PRME includes participants from Europe, Russia and CIS countries shows that cooperation in the sphere of business and business education enriches and develops international dialogue,” he said. http://www.ranepa.ru/eng/sobytiya/novosti/ranepa-representative-elected-to-prme-committee-for-central-and-eastern-europe
