Book Synopsis

How will proposed reforms of the global financial system affect developing countries? Do the IMF and World Bank need to find a new role? Can international standards and regulatory bodies operate in such a way that they help rather than hinder development? This book looks at how these and other issues of global governance impact on the developing world.
