CGD President Nancy Birdsall was interviewed in this NYT article about the election of Evo Morales as the new President of Bolivia.

From the article:

Mr. Morales, however, has already had to find middle ground between the explosive populist talk that helped propel him to power and a pragmatic path that will help Bolivia's tiny $9.5 billion economy grow, said Nancy Birdsall, president of the Washington-based Center for Global Development, which studies economic issues affecting developing countries.
