Description:	The Global Research Project ‘Explaining Growth’ is an attempt to compile the most comprehensive assessment of growth in developing and transition countries. Supported by the Global Development Network (GDN) – an independent association of research and policy institutes whose goal is to generate, share, and apply to policy multidisciplinary knowledge for the purpose of development – it is an integrated yet decentralized project, designed by and for people from every corner of the globe.1 The focus on growth does not imply the old mistake of seeing economic wealth as the ultimate measure of well-being. Rather, the project takes the view that growth provides the opportunity to use resources well – while stagnation or deterioration robs countries of the power to act. The project also recognizes that there are many paths toward growth, some leading to dead-ends and others ever onwards to sustainable prosperity for all. A thorough understanding of the history of growth points the way forward.
