The global economic crisis of 2008-2009 exposed systemic failings at the core of economic policy making worldwide. The crisis came on top of several other crises, including skyrocketing and highly volatile world food and energy prices and climate change. This book argues that new policy approaches are needed to address such devastating global development challenges and to avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences to livelihoods worldwide that would result from present approaches. The contributors to the book are independent development experts, brought together by the UN to identify a development strategy capable of promoting a broad-based economic recovery and at the same time guaranteeing social equity and environmental sustainability both within countries and internationally. This new development approach seeks to promote the reforms needed to improve global governance, providing a more equitable distribution of global public goods. The contributors offer a critical evaluation of past development experiences and report on their creative search for new and well-thought out answers for the future. They suggest that economic progress, fairer societies and environmental sustainability can be compatible objectives, but only when pursued simultaneously by all. 2022-10-14T14:53:19Z 2022-10-14T14:53:19Z 2014 book ONIX_20221014_9781472531643_90 9781472531643 9781472533265 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58759 eng The United Nations Series on Development application/pdf n/a 9781472533265.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781472593047 10.5040/9781472593047 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781472531643 9781472533265 Bloomsbury Academic 408 London open access
