"The world's poor countries are ultimately responsible for their own development--and for years, rich countries have measured, categorized, scored, advised, and admonished them to cut their budget deficits, invest more in education, or liberalize their financial markets. Last year, the Center for Global Development (CGD) and Foreign Policy turned the tables: We created the Commitment to Development Index (CDI), a ranking of rich nations according to how their policies help or hinder social and economic development in the poor countries. One year and much additional data later, we unveil a second edition of the CDI that brings into sharper focus which governments lead the global community in the challenge of development." (FOREIGN POLICY) This article analyzes the findings of the 2004 Commitment to Development Index and compares them with last year's results.
