Synopsis
This book explores the paradoxes and unique characteristics of the World Economic Forum, highlighting contemporary issues and debates on global governance, economic development and corporate social responsibility. The Forum is one of the most influential, but least understood, global institutions. Its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland and its regional summits held around the world attract a significant and powerful audience from the worlds of business, economics, politics and civil society. The participants, who include business and political leaders, representatives of international institutions and civil society organizations, academia and the media, meet to debate issues of global concern and to develop possible solutions. Forum members see the organization as an innovative venue bringing together different types of stakeholders to solve global problems. To its critics, however, the Forum's public face conceals a private venue for making business deals. With clear and concise sections, including boxes containing key ideas and arguments, The World Economic Forum is a much needed introduction to an important and controversial organization and will be of considerable interest to students and practitioners of international business, international political economy, economics, development, international relations, and globalization., This much-needed and highly accessible introduction to the World Economic Forum (WEF) provides the reader with a clear understanding of this key institution in world affairs. This new book explores unique aspects of the WEF and highlights contemporary issues and debates in international studies: It shows how the WEF differs from other global institutions in several key respects. Founded to promote the agreed interests of its membership, the WEF has been forced by civil society not only to revise its remit, but also to broaden participation in WEF activities. This book probes a range of key areas: * History and development * Institutional mechanisms * WEF in Contemporary Global Society * Current debates in historical perspective * Key critics and criticisms * Emerging issues and future direction With clear and concise sections, including boxes containing key ideas and arguments, the reader is able to quickly build a well-rounded understanding of this major institution. A fully annotated bibliography provides ideas for future reading and research. This is an essential book for all students of international relations, politics and world affairs and history., This book explores the paradoxes and unique characteristics of the World Economic Forum, highlighting contemporary issues and debates on global governance, economic development and corporate social responsibility.

    Good price for the book. Shipping was slow. Messaged the seller a week after I ordered it to see when they were going to ship it. They responded immediately and said it would be shipped out soon. Got it about a week later. Book did arrive in the date range that they provided though  Minimal packaging. Book is Shrink wrapped and only wrapped in thin plastic. No bubble wrap. Book is in good shape though.
