Can @IMFNews implement an ambitious + effective climate policy?
@LaraMerling + @TimonForster argue in a new @Global_Policy journal article that this is unlikely without meaningful governance reform to increase voice + representation.

In our last article, @LaraMerling & @TimonForster that the #IMF has taken steps to incorporate #ClimatePolicy into its operations, but the decision-making process remains dominated by the Global North and major emitters.

Super excited to see my paper with @AllieCarnegie & @KayaOrloff published online @The_JOP. We explore whether and how populist governments engage with IOs. We show that while they bash IOs publicly, populists often engage constructively behind-the-scenes journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10…

Global climate financing can support a green transition in the Global South.
Is it enough? @bhbradlow & I point to its limits if not joined by technology transfers from the Global North.
There is both legal precedent & a moral imperative for this.

Individuals matter in international organizations even when policies have backing by member states and leadership! We show in new @apsrjournal article that women are less likely to engage in box ticking on World Bank gender mainstreaming (1/4)

I am happy this came out @The_PEIO. The paper shows how labour and global financial interests are at odds with one another in the process of globalization. It is open access and can be read at: rdcu.be/dEF9e

Can advisers really shape foreign policy at the highest levels? In a new piece @IntOrgJournal, @jkertzer, @notericmin, Schub and I present a theory and empirical tests arguing that they can, but the reason why might be different from what you would think.

The Task Force on Climate, Development, & the IMF has just released a preliminary assessment of IMF climate policy. The IMF has made big strides on climate, but we identify three areas necessary for the IMF to align with the #SDGs & the #Paris Agreement bu.edu/gdp/2023/03/24/the-in…
