The achievements and legacy of the Wolfensohn Center for Development at Brookings Founded by James and Elaine Wolfensohn, the Wolfensohn Center for Development sought "to create knowledge that leads to action with real, scaled-up, and lasting development impact." This volume reviews the Center's achievements and lasting legacy, combining some of the best of its research and policy analysis with new essays that examine the context and impact of its work. The Wolfensohn Center, which operated from 2006 to 2011, was the first home at Brookings for work on international development. Its research aims were to help identify effective solutions to key development challenges in order to create a more prosperous and stable world. In this volume, six primary research streams of the Wolfensohn Center's work are highlighted: the shifting structure of the world economy in the twenty-first century; the challenge of scaling up development interventions; strategies for maximizing the effectiveness of development assistance; how to promote economic and social inclusion for Middle Eastern youth; the case for investing in early child development; and the need for global governance reform. Each chapter includes an overview of the issue and its broader context along with selected reprints and excerpts from key Wolfensohn Center publications.
