In an ever-changing world of technology-driven globalization that is supported by the activities of giant transnational corporations, we try to move along unconsciously although our economic and social-political systems and institutions have failed to change with it. We have, in fact, failed to improve and develop our existing antiquated systems and institutions but adopted the emerging trends wholeheartedly. We have also failed to see and assess the emerging issues from a global public policy perspective. With this mind, I have attempted to examine the current systems based on the past achievements. In doing so, I have managed to examine a handful of key policy areas that matters the most. As the title implies, the overall objectives of the book rested with identifying and addressing the key global public policy issues that were said to challenge the world order before some innovative but unorthodox policy propositions were put forward. However, as we have seen, most of the public policy areas were characterized by having some elements of economic issues, both globally and at the national level. Whether the issues of international trade and the growing influence of the transnational corporations or the ineffective global financial system and the adverse impacts of globalization, it all have something to do with the global economic policy making.
