This special report by the Commission on Growth and Developmen assesses the 2008 financial crisis? longer term impact on developing countries, explains how developing countries can make themselves more resilient in the face of such blows, and examines what international institutions and forums can do to help.

Post-crisis Growth and Development lays the groundwork for setting development priorities and advances the discussion among the G20, and non-G20 countries on development policy in infrastructure, trade, food security, financial inclusion, and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), as they relate to strong, sustainable, and balanced global growth.

The volume provides a comprehensive overview of the financial and economic crises of 2008-2009 and the economic and financial policy implications for growth in developing countries.

This article is devoted to the search for a solution to overcoming the consequences of the global financial and economic crisis and the development of a post-crisis global economy. The purpose of this article is to determine perspectives and directions for the development of new growth poles in a post-crisis global economy and to develop tools for overcoming the consequences of the crisis and facilitating the global economic system entry into a new level of economic growth. The article uses the proprietary methodology for the calculation of “underdevelopment whirlpools,” which analyzes the dynamics of economic growth of the most prominent countries in this group and their ability to overcome “underdevelopment whirlpools” and transform into new growth poles for the global economy following the global financial crisis. The use of calculation tools for “underdevelopment whirlpools” determines the prospective of developing countries' transformation into new growth poles in a post-crisis global economy. China, Japan, Brazil, Russia, and India are such poles at present, and they will strengthen their positions in the near future. For this, the research offers the following perspective and directions for the development of new growth poles in a post-crisis global economy for the increase in rates and quality (stability and sustainability) of economic growth: an emphasis on the real sector development of the economy, realization of transnational cluster initiatives, and active creation and implementation of innovations into production. As tools for overcoming the consequences of the crisis and the global economic system entering a new level of economic growth, the author developed the mechanism of post-crisis global economy development.

The focus of this volume is on the role of the developmental state in a situation in which a series of major crises affects the (semi-) periphery of the global economy. The authors go beyond the established debate on developmental states in East Asia by highlighting a much broader understanding of development and a very different global economic context. They also further the existing debate by covering new country cases. At the same time, they deepen our perspective on developmental states by looking at unusual sectors such as green industrial policy, education and farming.

This volume is split into two accessible sections. The first part concentrates on the impact of the crisis on growth, inequality, policy responses and policy shifts in key areas such as central banking. The second part comprises individual country case studies and includes an exploration of the vulnerabilities related to the integration of developing economies into the world economy. The effect of the crisis on trade, and the ways in which some developing countries have entered into a prolonged period of stagnant growth following the global crisis are all considered.
