Global Policy and the Global Public Policy Network (GPPN) are delighted to announce the winner of the 2011 Best Article Prize. The winner is Danny Quah, author of ‘The Global Economy's Shifting Centre of Gravity’ (Vol. 2, Issue 1, January 2011). The article finds that in 1980 the global economy’s centre of gravity was mid-Atlantic yet, by 2008 that centre had drifted to a location east of Helsinki and Bucharest. Extrapolating growth in almost 700 locations worldwide, the article projects the world’s economic centre of gravity will be located between India and China by 2050.
