European Development Policy
The European Development Policy study group brings together those particularly interested in the European Union’s development policy, although it also encompasses those working on national development policies.
It maintains a web-based information exchange through an email distribution list and a dedicated website at www.edpsg.org. The group publishes a Discussion Paper series, which can also be downloaded from its website. Further contributions to this series are always welcome.

The meeting is a collaboration of 2 EADI WGs and 4 DSA SGs. At the EADI general conference in Bonn, September 2005 the EADI TNC WG proposed a meeting for June 2006. At the same time the DSA, Economics, Finance and Development Study Group proposed a trade and investment symposium in part as a pre-meeting to the DSA Annual conference in November 2006 ('the Private Sector, Poverty Reduction and International Development', Reading University). The purpose for the meeting is to review the state of understanding in the area of trade and investment and to set a future research agenda.
