Synopsis
Addressing the wider public, Goldin (Director of Development Policy, World Bank) and Reinert (public policy, George Mason U.) seek to dispel what they see as misconceptions about the main dimensions of economic globalization and their impact on poverty and development, arguing that globalization can be managed so that its benefits are more widely shared and its negative impacts mitigated. They present individual chapters analyzing five economic dimensions of globalization: trade, finance, aid, migration, and ideas. For each, they examine the connections to such measures of poverty as income, health, education, empowerment, and working conditions. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Softcover. Condition: Fair. Spuren von Feuchtigkeit / Nasse; Leichte Rillen / Abschurfungen / Risse / Knicke. 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 recommendations to make globalization more effective as a vehicle for shared growth and prosperity. It will be of interest to students, researchers and anyone interested in the effects of globalization in today's economy and in international development issues.
