Global institutions, marginalization, and development

Edición de la obra Global institutions, marginalization, and development

"Global Institutions, Marginalization, and Development discusses what systems of global institutions have done, and what they have not done, to keep their promise to the truly disadvantaged. It examines whether the system will serve the world's least-advantaged, or marginalize them further." "The future will largely be determined by the understanding of the global political economy developed by the world's most powerful people - corporate leaders and government officials in the strongest states. Their worldviews, in turn, will be influenced both by the political action and the ideas of social movements, and by the views of those who study the global political economy. Whether it is the "economists and political philosophers" of the rich or the social movements of the disadvantaged that are most likely to influence the world's lawmakers and the processes by which they will complete the next generation of multilateral institutions are the central topics of this book." "This book is important reading for anyone with an interest in international political economy, global governance, development and the politics of north-south relations."--Jacket.
