The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have played a major role in focusing policy since their original incarnation in the mid to late 1990s but what happens when we no longer have the MDGs - what will guide policy after 2015? This book discusses the world and development policy up to and beyond 2015.

Industry Reviews

'This book is GREAT! Our world has been dislocated by the current crisis. This book throws us a life-line. It is readable and entertaining, but also serious, strategic and thoughtful - a significant attempt to re-think development on a global scale. I hope it sells a million copies.' - Simon Maxwell CBE, Director, Overseas Development Institute, London

'This is a book which does what it sets out to do - to look at key issues in international development, to explain the context and to propose some pathways ahead as we enter a more complex, global society. One to add to the collection.' - Professor Myles Wickstead, Open University and former Head of Secretariat, Commission for Africa
