For more than a century and a half, the most-powerful national
governments have created institutions of multilateral governance
that promise to make a more inclusive world, a world serving women,
working people, the colonized, the 'backward, ' the destitute and
the despised. This book is a study of that promise and the real
impact of this world government.
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' 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 topic of
this book.
Key content includes:
- World Organizations and Human Needs
- Liberal Internationalism
- Social Movements and Liberal World Orders
- Political Consequences of the New Inequality
- Leadership and Global Governance for the information age
- Marginalization and the Privileged
This book is important reading for anyone with an interest in
international politicaleconomy, global governance, development and
the politics of north & south.
