Summary:

Why is globalization today not improving the lot of millions of the world's poor? Globalization was expected to deliver higher degrees of welfare for all. We are now at a critical juncture where this expectation is called into question. A new agenda is therefore opening up for the international community: What kind of governance do we need for globalization with a human face? What kind of architecture for the world financial system, what kind of framework for global trade? What rules of the game to protect the weak and the poor?
