AbstractThis paper draws upon the five other papers presented in this volume, along with other presentations made at the 2009 Development Studies Association Conference, to reflect on the relationship between development studies and the 2008–2009 global financial crisis. It first analyses antecedents to the crisis by relating the papers presented by Gore (on long waves of capitalism) and Fischer (on China's integration into the world economy) to a Polanyian analysis. It then considers immediate policy responses with particular reference to India (based on the conference presentation by Mehrotra), China (based on the paper by de Haan) and the 2009 DFID White Paper. Third, it considers two possible additional sources of finance for developing countries: South Korean aid (discussed by Chun et al.) and new forms of international money (discussed by Hudson). The paper concludes that while the crisis is a reminder of structural global economic interconnectedness a challenge for development studies is to combine this fact with analysis that is also interdisciplinary, multi‐tiered and policy relevant.

For the first time since the early 2000s, the global economy is facing a crisis that may reverse its growth path. The anxieties linked to the shock wave of the US housing and financial crisis have superseded concerns stemming from the build-up of economic imbalances, geopolitical tensions or soaring oil and commodity prices (.). ; Pour la première fois depuis le début des années 2000, l'économie mondiale affronte une crise susceptible d'infléchir sa trajectoire de croissance. Les angoisses liées à l'onde de choc de la crise immobilière et financière aux États-Unis ont supplanté les inquiétudes nourries par l'accumulation des déséquilibres économiques, les tensions géopolitiques ou l'envolée du prix du pétrole et des matières premières (.).

When the problems in the United States housing sector mushroomed into a global financial crisis by September 2008, it was assumed that Arab countries would remain immune: the oil-rich Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries because of their massive financial reserves, and the resource-poor countries because of their limited linkages to the global economic system – in particular, the global financial markets. However, this assumption has proven to be false. The US subprime mortgage collapse not only pushed the advanced economies into recession, but also it shattered global economic confidence, resulting in a massive financial contagion around the world. What explains the Arab World's vulnerability to the crisis? How has the crisis impacted both the resource rich and the resource poor? How have Arab countries responded to the crisis, and what must they do to insulate their economies better from the vagaries of global financial markets? This paper addresses these questions.
