Governing Globalization

This timely book is among the first to examine in depth the governance needs of the world economy and polity. It evaluates the experience of institutions, with a focus on the UN, the IMF, the World Bank, and the WTO, to sketch the contours of reform and change necessary in the existing system. It analyses issues of emerging significance, such as global macroeconomic management, transnational corporations, international capital movements, and cross-border movements of people, to suggest that there are some missing institutions which are needed.
