Since 2007 the world has lurched from one crisis to the next. The
rise of new powers, the collapse of our global financial system,
the proliferation of nuclear weapons and crisis in the Eurozone
have led to a build up of risks that is likely to provoke a more
general crisis in our system of global governance if it cannot be
made fairer, more effective and accountable.
In this book, nine leading scholars explore the fault lines and
mounting challenges that are putting pressure on existing
institutions, the ways in which we are currently attempting to
manage them – or failing to – and the prospects for
global governance in the 21st century. In doing so, the
contributors offer a fresh look at one of the most important issues
confronting the world today and they suggest strategies for
adapting current institutions to better manage our mutual
interdependence in the future.
Contributors include Ha-Joon Chang, Benjamin Cohen, Michael Cox,
David Held, George Magnus, Robert Skidelsky, Robert Wade, Martin
Wolf and Kevin Young.
