United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)

This book is a much-needed new examination of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), fully covering its history and current activities.

Ian Taylor and Karen Smith present a clear overview to an organization that is at times overlooked and seen to belong to a bygone era. All the key areas are covered by accessibly written chapters, including an overview of UNCTAD: what it is, why it was formed, and why it is important; how the organization operates today: what it does and how it does it; key criticisms made against the organization: is it relevant in todays world?; and emerging issues within the organization and its future direction.

In the current era of globalization and what appears to be the dominance of neoliberal economic thought, UNCTAD has sought to make itself germane to ongoing international debates. The implications of this for the organizations key remit, namely making the world a fairer place, are something that this book seeks to unpack.

The book will be of interest to all those interested in multilateralism, international trade issues and the global South.

Ian Taylor is Professor of International Relations in the School of International Relations, University of St. Andrews; Associate Professor Extraordinary, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa; and Visiting Lecturer, Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Uganda.

Karen Smith is Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa.

About the Series

The Global Institutions Series is designed to provide readers with comprehensive, accessible, and informative guides to the history, structure, and activities of key international organizations. Every volume stands on its own as a thorough and insightful treatment of a particular topic, but the series as a whole contributes to a coherent and complementary portrait of the phenomenon of global institutions at the dawn of the millennium.

Books are written by recognized experts, conform to a similar structure, and cover a range of themes and debates common to the series. These areas of shared concern include the general purpose and rationale for organizations, developments over time, membership, structure, decision-making procedures, and key functions. Moreover, current debates are placed in historical perspective alongside informed analysis and critique. Each book also contains an annotated bibliography and guide to electronic information as well as any annexes appropriate to the subject matter at hand.
