Database of publications / Global Economic Prospects 2007: Managing the Next Wave of Globalization

Global Economic Prospects (GEP) 2007 explores the next wave of globalization. Three prominent features in the next wave of globalization are: the growing economic weight of developing countries in the international economy, the potential for increased productivity that is offered by global production chains, and the accelerated diffusion of technology. The GEP also analyzes three possible consequences: growing inequality, pressures in labor markets, and threats to the global commons.
