Description: To agree on and to achieve international economic goals, writes Inge Kaul, governments need to understand how the financing of international cooperative efforts actually works. Kaul shows how our understanding is hampered in two ways: first, we lack of an integrated and cohesive theoretical framework; and second, we lack consolidated empirical and operational knowledge in the form of a comprehensive inventory of past, current and possible future (i.e. currently deliberated) financing mechanisms. In this book, Kaul discusses how to address these two failings, providing a guide to improve our ability to finance international cooperation.
