Global Governance, Economy and Law

Taylor & Francis

Using history, political science, law and economics, this book examines important institutions of global governance including the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. > \nThis book provides a critical examination of the most important institutions of global governance in the world today. Drawing on history, political science, law and economics, the authors examine institutions such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organization (WTO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and also the global private sector. In a series of comprehensive analyses the inability of these institutions and entities to promote and protect human rights and international peace is revealed. \nWhile examining the failures of the past, the authors enthusiastically propose far reaching reforms, suggesting how these global institutions and their member states can reform themselves to prevent the exploitation of the most vulnerable.
