Global Public Goods: International Cooperation in the 21st Century
ISBN: 9780195130522 / Angielski / Miękka / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection offers a new rationale and framework for international development cooperation.

Contributors include Amartya Sen, the 1998 Nobel Laureate in Economics, Jeffrey Sachs of the Harvard Institute...

In light of today's new realities, this book...
