Comment by Neil Kelsall on July 18, 2009 at 1:56pm: There seemed to be general agreement that there was a general correlation between peace/ conflict and GDP per capita ( although distribution of wealth within national borders are factors).
This being the case, then we need to address the problem of increase GDP per Capita and to narrow the gap to rich countries. To do this investments are needed in developing countries that create value in the economy. How to raise investments is about raising profile of core potential competences in the global economy. www.raisetrade.com
