Public and private international political actors
The Brookings Institution has also produced a short video on the Millennium Development Goals (here). Brookings is a private non-profit organisation aimed at fostering debate on fact-based policy proposals. Since its inception in 1916 experts based there have been very influential in shaping US policies concerning budgeting, war and peace, presidential transitions, tax reductions security and others.
Experts in international relations either highlight the cooperation between public and private institutions (e.g. Robert Keohane) or the potential of conflict between them (e.g. Robert Cox). This literature opens some relevant questions about their role in managing the MDGs and designing strategic planning for human development after 2015. What is the role of public and private political actors in this debate? To what extent does their interaction promote global democratisation? Are they opening new conflicts?
