How health is risks changing in different parts of the world? Will the North-South cooperation help prevent global climate change? • How does government corruption influence national development? The book, which draws on recent World Bank data, is written for young people, teachers, students, and others interested in learning more about global development. This completely revised and expanded second edition of Beyond Economic Growth includes new sections on: • global hunger • HIV/AIDS • international migration, • government corruption, and • the Millennium Development Goals.
