Erkki Tuomioja: Theses on Development

According to the Programme of the Finnish Government, development policy is a key element of a coherent and comprehensive foreign and security policy. It is, therefore, only natural that the Minister for Foreign Affairs himself takes an active interest in specific efforts to eradicate poverty and to meet other global challenges.

In this pamphlet Minister for Foreign Affairs Erkki Tuomioja reiterates the main events in the field of development cooperation during the past forty years and explores different solutions to them in the globalised world and clarifies his own efforts to understand them.
