		<description><![CDATA[By Charles Kenny - I’ve been blogging a little about technology adoption of late.  It’s a subject close to my heart: my last book was pretty much all about how new technologies and the spread of ideas were behind much of the global progress we’ve seen in the quality of life over the last fifty years. But there are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Charles Kenny - A couple of weeks ago, CGD hosted a workshop on a transparency proposal we’re calling (at least for the moment) Publish What You Buy.  In the spirit of openness, I meant to blog about it straight after &#8211;but where would have been the irony in that?   So, two weeks later, (still) faster than a speeding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Charles Kenny - My column for Foreign Policy this week was on the global war on drugs.  It recounts how the war, begun four decades ago by President Nixon, has failed to raise drug prices or reduce consumption in the US.  Yet the spillover effects at home are grim: spending on enforcement and imprisonment along with the huge [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Charles Kenny - Despite protestation from all sides that there should be only one development agenda post-2015, the Rio process continues on what appears to be a parallel, overlapping track.  Not least that’s because the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are facing the same issue as the process to come up with new Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) –everyone with [...]]]></description>
