Growth with Equity InitiativeThe Dialogue has joined the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in organizing a commission to identify and formulate policies to spur economic growth with equity in Latin America. The initiative ? co-chaired by Nancy Birdsall of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Augusto de la Torre of the World Bank? was launched in response to the region's mediocre growth and limited progress in reducing income inequality over the past decade. As a result of this initiative, a draft report has been prepared by Nancy Birdsall and Augusto de la Torre that suggests a new policy toolkit ? ten sets of equity tools or ideas on how governments could modify their policies and programs so as to give increased weight to poverty reduction and greater equity, without materially sacrificing economic efficiency and growth objectives. As the report argues, there is a greater consensus today than a decade ago on the logic of direct policy attacks on non-growth objectives like improved quality of life, reduced poverty, higher life expectancy and educational opportunities. This is not only because they are important ends in themselves but also because ? particularly in unequal Latin America ? they may be key to raising growth rates. To confront non-growth objectives, the authors propose action in the following areas: fiscal discipline, volatility, safety nets, tax systems, competition, education, labor markets, discrimination, land markets, and service delivery.

Since its launch nearly a year ago, the INDUS-X has marked many milestones in the India-U.S. relationship. Much has been achieved, but there is room to further enhance defense cooperation between the two countries in the coming years.
