| Description | The forces of globalization are causing rapid changes in trade and financial flows, and the movement of people across the world has become a major issue in need of urgent action. National economies have become closely interrelated, particularly through the
adoption of the new information technologies. Although the institutions that attempt to regulate these processes have shown some evolution since their foundation fifty years ago, the United Nations system and the Bretton Woods institutions face both daunting
and complex challenges.
This publication is a policy-focused summary of the UNU/WIDER manuscript on Governing Globalization: Issues and Institutions,edited by Deepak Nayyar.
The manuscript has been prepared within the UNU/WIDER project on Governing Globalization: New Roles and Functions for the United Nations and Bretton Woods Institutions, directed by Deepak Nayyar, University of New Delhi. |
