A future model for the global common good. Seven principles to guide German development policy

This election year poses a number of questions for Germany and its external policy areas: How can the competition between foreign, security, development, economic and climate policy that saps so much energy be turned into a fruitful complementarity? What will the future model for German development policy look like?

In the run-up to the federal elections, the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) will be publishing a special series of the Current Column under the title “Impulses for the Bundestag Elections” over the next few months. To kick off the series, Prof. Dr Anna-Katharina Hornidge and Prof. Dr Imme Scholz outline guidelines for German development policy in the 21st century.
