Abstract
Increasingly, the consequences of
globalization call for the involvement, not only of national
governments, but of the international development community
as a whole. Such involvement needs to occur within a
comprehensive framework that encompasses stakeholders from
government, non-governmental organizations, and businesses
acting together in partnership. This requires the leveraging
of general aid and country-focused development resources
along with encouraging private financing participation. The
book explains different ways that this type of framework
might be structured, and focuses on different financing
strategies that can be developed. It acknowledges the value
of country specific efforts while recommending a
multi-national approach to addressing problems resulting
from globalization. This book evaluates the concepts
fundamental to the term "public goods" and details
alternative governance structures including the role of incentives.
