This open access volume offers a unique interdisciplinary analysis of the current structure of global governance on tax, trade, and investment. It explores the interplay between actors, critiques current norm-making procedures, and proposes concrete solutions for improvement. It considers the impact of global governance in local contexts in Asia, Europe, and Africa, and includes perspectives from scholars based in these continents. It takes a comparative approach that goes beyond a siloed perspective to undertaking comparisons between the ways in which similar problems have been addressed in different areas---making the contributions highly relevant to scholars and policymakers worldwide. The volume includes case studies and provides concrete suggestions for improving global governance of tax, trade, and investment. This highly topical open access volume is of interest to a global readership in the fields of international law and taxation, globalization, international relations, and international trade economics.
