Critical Mass: The Emergence of Global Civil Society. James W. St.G. Walker, editor, and Andrew S. Thompson, editor. Public concern about inequitable economic globalization has revealed the demand for citizen participation in global decision making. Civil society organizations have taken up the challenge, holding governments and corporations accountable for their decisions and actions, and developing collaborative solutions to the dominant problems of our time. Co-published with the Centre for International Governance Innovation

Reducing Poverty and Building Peace: Poverty and peace, and the relationships between them, are the central challenges for our times. Arguing that reducing poverty is not only possible, but can also build opportunities for peace, Coralie Bryant and Christina Kappaz help form the policy debate on the role of poverty reduction in international society. Oftentimes poverty is looked at only in specific countries, or is focused on developing countries. Reducing Poverty, Building Peace looks at poverty from both sides of the spectrum: domestic and global, rich and poor countries.

Analysing Macro-Poverty Linkages: Special Theme Issue of the Development Policy Review:  The analysis of macro-poverty linkages has emerged as an important but contentious area of national and international policy-making. Over the last few years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the linkages between macroeconomic policies and poverty reduction, as well as in developing evaluation tools and methodologies useful in conducting ex-ante PSIAs of macro policies.

Debating the Tobin Tax. The New Rules for Global Finance Coalition is proud to announce the publication of a volume of financial policy research.  This book, the second in a series, explores the argument for and against one of the most provocative policy proposals in the international economic policy arena – the Tobin Tax.  The tax proposal, named for the late Noble Laureate and Yale University professor James Tobin, would impose a small tax on transactions in foreign currency and possibly a broader array of financial instruments.
