Description
This title was first published in 2000: An outstanding volume which examines the professional economic merits, practical feasibility, and underlying politics of the hotly contested competing initiatives for strengthening the international financial system.

Essential reading for academics in the areas of economics and management, to political scientists specializing in international political economy and to officials in the government and the private sector.
