The New Public Finance: Responding to Global Challenges
The New Public Finance: Responding to Global Challenges serves as a follow-up to the two preceding volumes, with a more specific focus on new policy approaches and instruments for financing international cooperation. The book takes stock of how public finance has changed in response to the challenges—exigencies and opportunities—presented by globalization. The book examines a wide gamut of new and innovative policies and financing instruments that governments can—and increasingly, do—use to manage cross-border risks and respond in a more affordable and sustainable way to global challenges such as avian flu, climate change, excessive financial volatility, commodity price fluctuations, or international terrorism.

Providing Global Public Goods: Managing Globalization
Providing Global Public Goods: Managing Globalization advances the debate on three fronts. First, the publication further clarifies the concept and provides a typology of global public goods. Second, it focuses on global public goods that matter to the poor and to developing countries. And third, the publication sheds light on the operationalization of the concept by examining not only the politics of global public goods provision but also the production process of various goods, global public goods financing and the links between global public goods provision and aid effectiveness.
