Development Issues No. 2: Inequality Measurement

Development Issues No. 2: Inequality Measurement

Global Governance and Rules for the Post-2015 Era

Global Governance and Rules for the Post-2015 Era provides a unique assessment of global rules and governance; a reflection of how global rules have been shaping development experiences and outcomes; an identification of the shortcomings; and innovative suggestions for reforming and improving them.
