Sustaining Global Growth and Development

assesses how and how well the G7 has addressed individually and interrelated ambitiously its core 2002 agenda of sustaining global growth, reducing poverty in Africa, and combating terrorism and its financing examines how the IMF has approached these issues, and related work of the G7 explores how both the G7, IMF and other international institutions are addressing global growth and development challenges in the context of the new processes of regionalism. Pressures such as currency consolidation in Asia and economic union in Africa are studied.

This book builds on previous volumes in the series with a heavy focus on the World Bank, the regional development banks and the many other international institutions that work in the field of development.
