From the &quote;Washington&quote; towards a &quote;Vienna Consensus&quote;? A Quantitative Analysis on Globalization, Development and Global Governance e-bog

This publication empirically evaluates and develops core aspects of the literature on global governance. Analyzing world social, gender, ecological and economic development on the basis of the main 9 predictors, compatible with the majority of the more than 240 published studies on the cross-national determinants of the "e;human condition"e; around the globe, it presents the results of 32 equations about development performance from 131 countries. We come to the conclusion that while there is some confirmation for the "e;blue"e;, market paradigm as the best and most viable way of world systems governance concerning economic growth, re-distribution and gender issues, the "e;red-green"e; counter-position is confirmed concerning such vital and basic indicators as life expectancy and the human development index.
