About the product

This publication presents a first systematic account of how public finance has responded to the growing importance of the many global challenges. With contributions from more than 20 eminent scholars and practitioners, the book documents a major refurbishment of governments’ public-finance toolkit, with greater reliance on international finance and insurance markets for risk management and greater attention to economic rationales and hence to public finance considerations and instruments in foreign affairs.
