Development Debates in a Fierce New World
DAWN greeted the new year by convening the DAWN Development Debates (DDD concept note) – a modest but critical reflection among scholars and activists from all over the world on issues and controversies around crises that have re-emerged with greater intensity from the shifting terrains of global political economy, development, women's rights and gender equality in the 21st century.
 
The debates took place in Mauritius, Africa from 18 to 20 January and was attended by around 50 participants, who exchanged, critiqued and presented ideas on wide-ranging topics such as gender, human rights, political economy, conflict and global governance.
