Gambling on Development with Stefan Dercon

On the Oxford Policy Pod, Blavatnik School of Government students Marc Naro and Meredith Lehman sit down with Stefan Dercon, Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford. Dercon is also the author of Gambling on Development: Why Some Countries Win and Others Lose.

Drawing on insights from his last book, Gambling on Development: Why Some Countries Win and Others Lose, the discussion explores how countries mobilise resources for growth, the political foundations of successful development strategies, the evolving role of multilateral institutions, and the challenges facing international economic cooperation in an increasingly fragmented world.

Recorded at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford.
