Global Governance and Rules for the Post-2015 Era provides a unique assessment of global rules and governance; a reflection of how global rules have been shaping development experiences and outcomes; an identification of the shortcomings; and innovative suggestions for reforming and improving them.

Attention is increasingly being paid to the conceptualization of the sustainable development agenda that should guide global development efforts beyond 2015. New trends are shaping the international environment, suggesting that the world emerging from the recent economic and financial crisis will probably be very different from the one we have known so far. The emerging issues demand new concerted responses and new international efforts, which will have to be framed by new rules and more democratic and inclusive mechanisms of global governance. This book reflects the outcome of research by independent development experts brought together by the United Nations Committee for Development Policy and is a timely contribution to the discussions on the UN's 20130 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
