> On February 1, new voices joined the policy debate on the
> global crises in finance, development, and the environment. The “TripleCrisisBlog,”
> with an initial roster of economic analysts from nine countries, was launched by the Global
> Development and Environment Institute (GDAE) at Tufts University (USA),
> India’s Economic Research Foundation (ERF), and the Heinrich Boell Foundation-U.S. The
> initiative is chaired by GDAE’s Kevin P. Gallagher and ERF’s Jayati Ghosh.

> “Crises are not new to the world economy, nor to developing
> countries,” Gallagher and Ghosh write in their introductory post.
> “Indeed, our current predicament is a convergence of at least three crises: in
> global finance, development, and environment.
> These areas are seemingly disparate but actually interact with each
> other in forceful ways to reflect major structural imbalances between
> finance and the real economy; between the higher income and developing
> economies; between the human economic system and the earth’s ecosystems. This blog
> seeks to contribute to a more open and global dialogue around these three crises:
> about how they interact, and how they can collectively be solved.”

> The TripleCrisisBlog starts with an unprecedented diversity
> of analysts from the global North and South. In addition to Gallagher
> and Ghosh, the roster includes: Jeff Madrick, Sanjay Reddy, Mehdi
> Shefaeddin, Charles Abugre, Martin Khor, Alejandro Nadal, Matias Vernengo, Adil
> Najam, CP Chandrasekhar, Jim Boyce, Ilene Graebel, Gerhard Schick, Timothy A.
> Wise, Lyuba Zarsky, and Frank Ackerman. Ghosh and Gallagher will co-chair the
> project, with Wise serving as "managing editor."

> “While there are a number of commendable blogs on various
> aspects of these three crises,” note Gallagher and Ghosh, “this blog
> will examine all three crises and from a global perspective not often found
> in mainstream media outlets.”
