Looking Ahead By Looking Back: Evaluating 25 Years of Democratic Change

The work of advancing democracy and peace in the world is indeed a slow slog. The one consistent contribution the international development field can point to is the lasting investment made in people and institutions, who then go on to continue making a difference in their own country.

No one program design, no one donor, and no one building block of democratic societies has been or will be enough.  Rather, a continued commitment to local capacity building and investment in institutions is what has been proven to make a difference in the long term.

Luca Iaconi-Stewart is a self-described "crazy guy who loves aviation." In fact, he loves it so much that he spent the last five years building a table-size replica of the Boeing 777 airplane made entirely of paper file folders. "I like the way the planes look and I love the engines," says 22-year-old Iaconi-Stewart.

Facebook, Games and the Power of Failure

Disruptive innovators must be willing to fail. This a lesson you pick up from spending time in Palo Alto, California -- that little corner of the world from where so many world-changing companies have emerged. There is a profound sense of freedom there that comes from a cultural belief that it's okay to try and fail, because you can always try again. I believe we need more of that freedom, not only in my country, Turkey, but across Europe.

Women Don't Need Quotas, They Need Opportunity

Here's what I like about the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos: it puts the really big topics on the agenda. For me, one of the biggest issues is gender inequality. The numbers are startling: Women perform 66 percent of the world's work, they produce 50 percent of the world's food, but earn a mere 10 percent of its income and own just 1 percent of its property.
