The Un and Global Political Economy: Trade, Finance, and Development

0/5 ( ratings)

Against the backdrop of a 20-year revolt against free trade orthodoxy by economists inside the UN and their impact on policy discussions since the 1960s, the authors show how the UN both nurtured and inhibited creative and novel intellectual contributions to the trade and development debate. Presenting a stirring account of the main UN actors in this debate, The UN and Global Political Economy focuses on the accomplishments and struggles of UN economists and the role played by such UN agencies as the Department of Economic Affairs, the United Nations Commission on Trade and Development, and the Economic Commission for Latin America . It also looks closely at the effects of the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, the growing strength of the World Trade Organization in the 1990s, and the lessons to be drawn from these and other recent developments.
