A series of crises unfolded in the latter part of the first
decade of the 21st Century which combined to exacerbate already
profound conditions of global economic inequality and poverty in
the world's poorest countries. In 2007, the unsound lending
practices that caused a collapse in the US housing market ushered
in a broader economic crisis that reverberated throughout the
global financial system. This economic shockwave had a global
impact, triggering not just instability in other industrialized
countries, but also in their developing world counterparts, also
highlighting deficiencies in the current structures of global
governance to protect the world's poorest and most
disadvantaged.
This book offers answers to questions raised about the role of
global governance in the attenuation and amelioration of world
poverty and inequality. The contributors interrogate the role of
systems of governance at a time of global economic crisis and
continuing environmental degradation against a backdrop of
acceleration in inequalities within and between communities and
across the globe.
Evaluating how existing systems can be reformed or redesigned to
be more effective at addressing issues of poverty and inequality
and providing a comprehensive discussion of a wide range of global
governance initiatives this work will be essential reading for
students and scholars of global governance, international relations
and international organizations.
