Description
Ian Taylor and Karen Smith present a much-needed and full examination of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), covering its history and current activities.All the key areas are covered by accessibly written chapters, including:
- an overview of UNCTAD: what it is, why it was formed and why it is important
- how the organization operates today: what it does and how it does it
- key criticisms made against the organization: is it relevant in todays world?
- emerging issues within the organization and its future direction.
In the current era of globalization and what appears to be the dominance of neo-liberal economic thought, UNCTAD has sought to make itself germane to ongoing international debates. The implications of this for the organizations key remit, namely making the world a fairer place, are something that this book unpacks.
