The ESRC Global Poverty and Inequality Dynamics (GPID) Strategic Research Network

该网络将确定一个新的研究议程，考虑包容性增长和结构性经济转型在不同背景下的关系；以及这对减少全球贫困的影响。该网络的驱动目标是建立和建立必要的知识基础和学术和非学术网络，以便将来以大型资助或中心申请的形式提交具有相关方法的比较研究项目。该网络将汇集一个高度国际化的团体，包括学者、国际援助机构（世界银行、国际货币基金组织、联合国开发计划署和联合国经社部）的决策者、双边援助机构和网络（英国-国际发展部和经合组织-发展援助委员会）以及来自新兴经济体的民间社会组织（通过乐施会的新兴大国不平等公民社会网络），汇集政治学、经济学、公共政策和发展研究的观点。该网络还将通过专门的网站、社交媒体和学术协会积极向更广泛的学术、政策和民间社会受众传播这项研究。这些不同的利益相关者将共同制定新的研究议程。该网络将以下列活动为基础：一次启动会议和两次实质性国际讲习班、一套期刊特刊论文和随附摘要、一套概念/区域和国家说明；一个专门的网站，提供项目成果和带注释的文献搜索；文献摘要及相关数据集。该建议与所列国家的发展挑战直接和主要相关，因为它是关于最大限度地减少贫困；该项目关注的是包容性、共享性的经济增长，关注的是最大限度地发挥可持续的、结构性变革驱动的经济增长的减贫能力。该项目解决了这些国家围绕包容性增长和结构变化的发展目标中的一个紧张点，这些目标与不平等的动态联系在一起。该项目将有助于更好地了解包容性增长和结构变化的不平等动态，特别是确定全球化经济体政府如何以及可以引入或调整或改变哪些政策干预措施，以寻求平衡其包容性增长和结构转型的发展目标，最大限度地减少贫困，实现与贫困有关的可持续发展目标。以下国家将直接受益：印度、中国、尼日利亚、印度尼西亚、巴西、南非和菲律宾。这份名单上的7个国家生活着世界上三分之二的极端贫困人口。该项目也将适用于一系列其他新的中等收入发展中国家以及老牌中等收入发展中国家。对于考虑包容性增长、结构性经济转型和减贫途径和政策的低收入或最不发达国家也将具有重要意义。

The network will define a new research agenda that considers how inclusive growth and structural economic transformation are related in different contexts; and the implications of that for reducing global poverty. The driving ambition of the network is to establish and build the intellectual foundations and academic and non-academic network necessary for a future comparative research project with associated methodologies to be submitted as a large grant or centre application.The network will assemble a highly international group with academics, policymakers in international aid agencies (the World Bank, the IMF, the UNDP and UNDESA) and bilateral aid agencies and networks (the UK-DFID and the OECD-DAC) and civil society organisations from emerging economies (via Oxfam's Inequality in Emerging Powers Civil Society Network), bringing together perspectives from political science, economics, public policy and development studies. The network will also actively disseminate the research to a wider academic, policy and civil society audience via a dedicated website, social media and academic associations. These different stakeholders will co-produce the new research agenda.The network will be based around the following activities: a launch meeting and two substantive international workshops, a set of papers for a journal special issue and accompanying briefs, and a set of concept/regional and country notes; a dedicated website with project outputs and annotated literature searches; literature summaries and relevant datasets.The proposal is directly and primarily relevant to the development challenges of the countries listed because it is about maximising poverty reduction; the project is about inclusive - shared - economic growth and is concerned with maximising the poverty reducing power of sustained, structural change-driven economic growth. The project addresses a point of tension in the developmental objectives of these countries around inclusive growth and structural change which are linked by the dynamics of inequalities. The project will help understand better the inequality dynamics of inclusive growth and structural change and in particular identify how and what policy interventions governments of globalised economies can introduce or adjust or change to seek to balance their developmental objectives of inclusive growth and structural transformation, maximising poverty reduction and attaining the sustainable development goals that relate to poverty.The following countries will directly benefit: India, China, Nigeria, Indonesia, Brazil, South Africa and the Philippines. This list of 7 countries is home to two-thirds of the world's extreme poor. The project would also be of relevance to a range of other new middle-income developing countries as well as established middle-income developing countries. It will also be of relevance to low-income or least developed countries considering pathways and policies for inclusive growth, structural economic transformation and poverty reduction.
