International Development / Global Poverty |
The United States has clear economic, humanitarian, political, and security interests in staying engaged with the world and promoting solutions to global economic problems. It is in our economic interest to expand the two-way flow of agricultural products, goods, services, and finance between developing country markets and the United States. It is in our political interest to encourage a world that is stable, democratic, prosperous, and modern. And it is in our security interest to promote competent, friendly, and stable nations as a means, at a minimum, of reducing armed conflicts around the globe. Humanitarian interests have always been at the core of food aid and emergency relief measures.
Global poverty works against all these goals. Global economic interdependence- the links among nations through trade and investment-is potentially a major part of the solution to poverty. The challenge to the United States' leadership is to see that that potential is realized. CED's work on international development and global poverty issues are aimed toward that goal.
