Can the World be Governed? de Alan S. Alexandroff

Can the World be Governed?: Studies in International Governance

Editat de Alan S. Alexandroff
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 feb 2008
In this book, leading international relations experts and practitioners examine through theory and case study the prospect for successful multilateral management of the global economy and international security. In the theory section contributors tackle the big questions: Why is there an apparent rising tide of calls for reform of current multilateral organisations and institutions? Why are there growing questions over the effectiveness of global governance? Is the reform of current organisations and institutions likely or possible? Case studies include the examination of difficulties facing global development, the challenges facing the IMF and the governance of global finance, the problems of the UN 2005 World Summit and its failed reform, and the WTO and the questions raised by the prolonged Doha Development Round. Co-published with the Centre for International Governance Innovation.
