Retooling Global Development The World Economic and Social Survey 2010 highlights the systemic weakness unmasked by the recent global crises and proposes reforms in international arrangements to eliminate these deficiencies and gaps in global governance mechanisms. These weaknesses have unduly constricted national policy space and sustain the proliferation of conflicting international rules. The proposed reforms are aimed at ensuring consistency among national development efforts and global mechanisms in aid, trade and finance to pave the way towards more balanced and sustainable development.

World Economic and Social Survey 2009

Promoting Development, Saving the Planet The World Economic and Social Survey 2009 argues that mitigation and adaptation efforts can better move forward as part of a development strategy built around a massive investment-led transformation, along low-carbon, high-growth paths. This transformation would keep temperature increases consistent with environmental stability, while fostering the strong growth and economic diversification necessary to allow convergence of incomes worldwide. The Survey contends that a critical role must be played by developmental States, able to mobilize public finance and build appropriate technological capacity. A variety of market and non-market institutional… World Economic and Social Survey 2009
