Global Governance, Development and Human Security : The Challenge of Poverty and Inequality PDF
by Caroline Thomas
Part of the Human Security in the Global Economy series
Description
This book argues that the global development and security agendas are merging.
No longer is the language of security confined within the straitjacket of the state and associated national security concerns.
The spotlight is shifting to the legitimate security concerns of human beings.
The book examines how development is promoted by global governance institutions and how this has impacted on human security in the 1990s.
Caroline Thomas focuses on the effects of trade, finance, and investment liberalisation on deepening inequality.
She explores different approaches for addressing the deepening inequality which threatens the economy at all levels, from the household, to the community, to the global.
The book investigates reformist and transformist visions of the future and the contrasting policies tabled for their achievements.
Thomas argues that ultimately human security requires a different developmental strategy.
