The rise of new powers, the collapse of our global financial system, the proliferation of nuclear weapons and crisis in the Eurozone have led to a build up of risks that is likely to provoke a more general crisis in our system of global governance if it cannot be made fairer, more effective and accountable. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this book, nine leading scholars explore the fault lines and mounting challenges that are putting pressure on existing institutions, the ways in which we are currently attempting to manage them – or failing to – and the prospects for global governance in the 21st century. In doing so, the contributors offer a fresh look at one of the most important issues confronting the world today and they suggest strategies for adapting current institutions to better manage our mutual interdependence in the future.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Contributors include Ha-Joon Chang, Benjamin Cohen, Michael Cox, David Held, George Magnus, Robert Skidelsky, Robert Wade, Martin Wolf and Kevin Young.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors vii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Editors’ Introduction: Global Governance at Risk 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDavid Held and Charles Roger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Shift and the Shock: Prospects for the World Economy 19\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMartin Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 The Coming Global Monetary (Dis)Order 31\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBenjamin J.
