The current international system of institutions and governance groups is proving inadequate to meet many of today's most important challenges, such as terrorism, poverty, nuclear proliferation, financial integration, and climate change. The International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and UN were founded after World War II, and their structures of voting power and representation have become obsolete, no longer reflecting today's balance of economic and political power. This insightful book examines how to make such institutions more responsive and effective.

"A thoughtful book of essays.... the authors bring voices with experience from inside the organisations they analyse to the problems; they have a realistic bent and they raise questions that anyone interested in the institutions on global governance need to consider." -Patrick Weller, Griffith University, Australian Journal of International Affairs |"There is no more important global political economy topic that can possibly be covered in a book than reform of major international institutions.... This thoughtful volume includes contributions from several key actors who have held key positions at or consulted for the World Bank and IMF, as well as leading academic thinkers." -Joel R. Campbell, Kansai Gaidai University, Japan, International Affairs
