Written by 27 World Bank experts, this book draws on the Bank's
unique global capabilities and experience to promote an understanding
of key global issues that cannot be solved by any one nation alone in
an increasingly interconnected world. It describes the forces that are
shaping public and private action to address these issues and
highlights the Bank's own work in these areas. Covering four broad
themes (global economy, global human development, global environment,
and global governance), this comprehensive volume provides an
introduction to today's most pressing global issues—from
poverty, conflict, and migration to climate change, international
trade, education, health, and corruption.
With its straightforward presentation of complex topics, use of real
world examples, and suggestions for further reading on-line and in the
literature, this unique volume will be an invaluable resource for
students in international relations, global business, public policy,
international development studies, sociology as well as other
interested readers.
