This book contributes to dialogue across all continents concerning the priorities of reforming world governance – with policies to address global challenges. It makes proposals for reform of the world governance system in areas such as climate and environment, social issues, digital transformation, trade and supply chains and industrial policy.
Pandemics, climate disasters, financial crises, food insecurity, poverty, digital transformation and wars are just a few of the complex global challenges that societies must face up to. And yet the world governance systems that are currently in place are not capable of dealing with such challenges. Moreover, recent years have seen general backsliding and inequality when it comes to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by all member states of the United Nations in 2015 under their 2030 Agenda. World governance structures must be reformed if they are to cope with these global challenges and the complex interactions between them.
Against this background, A New Global Deal: Reforming World Governance aims to contribute to open dialogue across all continents concerning the priorities of reforming world governance and policies to address current global challenges. Based on contributions from renowned European progressive experts and policymakers, it makes proposals regarding the reform of the world governance system in crucial policy areas such as climate and environment, social issues, digital transformation, trade and supply chains and industrial policy. It also tackles the questions of how to reform the global financial architecture and the UN’s institutions.
Moreover, the book sketches the kind of new global deal that is necessary in order to enable all countries to implement the Sustainable Development Goals, to deliver new global public goods, and to ensure that all generations are able to improve their life chances.
A fly on the wall, warts and all, description of what it was like to be a market economist during the extraordinary 25-year period that finance came to exert a disproportionate influence on the lives of almost everyone on the planet. It was quite a ride and not without its moments of pathos and humour.
Trade is being weaponized – and this isn’t good. As politicians on both sides of the Atlantic raise the stakes, trade is increasingly a tool of coercion to achieve strategic influence. This book looks at the risks for us all as trade becomes an instrument of foreign policy, and shows how politicians could turn things around.
Trade is no longer just the ships, planes and lorries that move the goods we buy around the world or the services we consume either physically or digitally. This book examines the US, Chinese and Russian approaches to `strategic trade’ and argues that Europe must adapt or lose out.
