A much-needed new examination of the United Nations Conference on
Trade and Development (UNCTAD), fully covering its history and
current activities.
Ian Taylor and Karen Smith present a clear overview to an
organization that is at times overlooked and seen to belong to a
bygone era. All the key areas are covered by accessibly written
chapters, including:
- an overview of UNCTAD: what it is, why it was formed, and why
it is important
- how the organization operates today: what it does and how it
does it
- key criticisms made against the organization: Is it relevant in
today's world?
- emerging issues within the organization and its future
direction.
In the current era of globalization and what appears to be the
dominance of neo-liberal economic thought, UNCTAD has sought to
make itself germane to ongoing international debates. The
implications of this for the organization's key remit, namely
making the world a fairer place, are something that this book seeks
to unpack.
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development will be
of interest to all those interested in multilateralism,
international trade issues and the global South.
