Too Global to Fail: The World Bank at the Intersection of National and Global Public Policy in 2025 (Directions in Development: Environment and Sustainable Development)

Examines global public goods (GPGs), particularly those related to the environment, in the context of the global development process. It is concerned with the long-term sustainability of development, as the distinction between developing and developed countries is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The authors contend that global sustainability depends on the provision of certain GPGs, and that the prevailing approach to development assistance does not sufficiently recognise this fact.
