Globalization For Development: Trade, Finance, Aid, Migration, and Policy -Hardcover

Globalization and its relation to poverty reduction and development is not well understood. The book identifies the ways in which globalization can overcome poverty or make it worse. The book defines the big historical trends, identifies main global flows 'trade, finance, aid, migration, and ideas' and examines how each can contribute to undermine economic development. By considering what helps and what does not, the book presents policy recommendation to make globalization more effective as a vehicle for shared growth and prosperity. About Author : Kenneth A.
