Special Issues
Issue #1: The Future of Development
At the very moment science is shaping our future more profoundly than ever, the structures that sustain and communicate it are under strain. Putting forth new ways of thinking about some of the world’s greatest scientific challenges — from health and food to energy, technology, environment, and space — is an urgent endeavor.
The featured essays are organized around three themes:
Our expert contributors reimagine the future of development: Do we rebuild or reinvent? How do we harness the power of what’s been left behind while focusing on what’s possible for a more prosperous future?
The rupture of US international aid: what caused it, how it happened, and what it looked like.
The consequences of the swift withdrawal of aid around the world: what occurred in the immediate aftermath, and what effects linger on.
