| Editorial |
| Today we are very excited to announce the call for abstracts for our 2023 general conference which will take place in cooperation with the Centre for African and Development Studies (CEsA), School of Economics and Management at the University of Lisbon in Portugal. Usually being held every three years in cooperation with an EADI member, these general conferences are the place to be for the Development Studies community. And as usual we’ve also got a new blog post to share which examines the increasingly insecure and unequal nature of experimental politics. Our thematic focus is on development finance today, in addition to the regular collection of publication picks, opinions, calls and vacancies. |

| New On Our Blog: The Global Lab |
| Political and technological experiments in the Global South « From pandemics to climate change to ever-growing humanitarian needs, humanity is making limited progress in tackling the structural causes of contemporary global crises. The result is a future of growing unknowns », writes DIIS researcher Adam Moe Fejerskov in our latest blog post: « Politics become increasingly experimental, as we struggle with unprecedented challenges and changes, leaving the fate of both planet and people to unproven technologies and uncertain policies. » In this post as well as in his latest book he explores the future of experimental politics that too often becomes one of both inequality and exclusion for vulnerable groups across the world.

| Open Access Book: Agroecology and Rural Development |
| Acting in the Global North – with and for the Global South The Global North increasingly recognises the need to take responsibility for the global ecological emergency that is emerging predominately as the result of its past and present actions. This study by the Centre for Rural Development at Humboldt University, Berlin, explores agroecology as a holistic approach for agri-food system transformation and sustainable rural development. Its aim is to contribute to a better understanding of how the Global North can translate recognition of its responsibility as a key contributor to the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and unsustainable food systems globally into action locally.
