United Nations Conference on Trade and Development - UNCTAD - Global Institutions
Author: Ian Taylor, Karen Smith
Ian Taylor and Karen Smith present a much-needed and full examination of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), covering its history and current activities. All the key areas are covered by accessibly written chapters, including:

  • how the organization operates today: what it does and how it does it
  • key criticisms made against the organization: is it relevant in today’s world?
  • emerging issues within the organization and its future direction.

The implications of this for the organization’s key remit, namely making the world a fairer place, are something that this book unpacks.
