A Better Globalization
Brookings Institution (Verlag)
978-0-8157-1763-8 (ISBN)
In this plea for "better" globalization, Dervis proposes that, under the legitimizing umbrella of the UN, the specialized institutions deal with the deep causes of the obstacles to poverty reduction and instability rather than their immediate manifestations. He recognizes the great potential that more and freer trade can have for accelerating growth throughout the world. He also stresses, however, that for this potential to be unleashed, the hearts and minds of people must be won by transforming not only the WTO framework but the entire governance of the international economic system into something that is perceived as more legitimate and more responsive to the concerns of the developing world as well as wealthy and creditor nations.
Kemal Dervis was recently named Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. He will take up the position on August 15, 2005. A member of the Turkish Parliament and former Minister for Economic Affairs, Dervis is recognized as the architect of Turkey's successful economic recovery program. He served for 22 years at the World Bank, Washington, D.C., USA, where his positions included Vice President for Europe, Middle East and North Africa, and Vice President for Poverty Reduction and Economic Management. He is a member of the Turkish Republic Chamber of Deputies to the European Commission and European Parliament and is a member of the European Constitutional Convention. Ceren Ozer is an Economist with the South Asia Economic Policy Unit of the World Bank, USA.
