Description
Book Synopsis* A major new collection examining the economic and political challenges currently faced by multilateral and transnational governance institutions.
Trade Review"Among the many troubling things made clear by the current protracted crisis, a crucial one is that progress in global governance has been fragile and is very much at risk. In this book, Held and Roger have brought together distinguished contributors to explore the ways this is so, why, and what the implications are. The results are sobering but also helpful and consistently insightful."
