Special Collection: Future of Multilateralism and Global Development
J.P. Singh, George Mason University
Michael Woolcock, The World Bank
We live in a time where the need for global collective action is as great as any time in human history: the COVID pandemic and its consequences, climate change, conflict, and mass migration all have the potential to pose compounding existential threats to peace, prosperity, and participation. Yet, the multilateral institutions that were set up more than 75 years ago – at the end of the second World War, to facilitate global cooperation – are weaker than ever before. This special collection, with papers and commentaries from academics and practitioners, begins a dialogue across disciplines and issues on finding solutions to contemporary challenges via the multilateral system, and to rethink and energize institutions that facilitate global collective action. Complete contents of the special collection are listed below.
