he Department of Economic and Social Afairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital
interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and
national action. he Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles,
generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and
information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common
problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member
States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or
emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and
means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and
summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build
national capacities.

Preface
he global inancial crisis has exposed serious weaknesses not only in the world economy
but also in global economic governance. Fortunately, a remarkable spirit of multilateralism
has prevailed in the responses to this upheaval. Countries have refrained, by and large,
from resorting to protectionist measures. Governments have enacted stimulus packages,
kept interest rates low and provided additional inance to the International Monetary
Fund and the World Bank that is aimed at helping countries in need. hese eforts stand
in sharp contrast to the approach of the 1930s, when beggar-thy-neighbour policies had
pushed the global economy into a prolonged depression and deepened the political crisis
that led to the Second World War.
Still, this encouraging multilateralism cannot hide the shortcomings in in-
stitutions and rules that were shaped, for the most part, more than 60 years ago. Since
then, world conditions have become much more complex and there is much greater in-
terdependence across nations. International economic relations have also changed, with
a considerable number of developing countries exerting a much bigger inluence on the
world economy—a trend that is likely to continue. At the same time, however, we must
all be concerned that an even greater number of developing countries are falling behind,
and that extreme poverty remains widespread. he global food and inancial crises have
caused signiicant setbacks in eforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, and
have been a painful reminder that a stable global economic environment is a critical pre-
condition for human progress. In the decades ahead, we can expect climate change and
demographic changes, including migration and population ageing, to further reshape the
patterns of global development.
his year’s World Economic and Social Survey takes stock of development
challenges and identiies deiciencies and gaps in global economic governance mecha-
nisms. It also points out promising directions for reform, including strengthening govern-
ment capacities for formulating and implementing national development strategies; doing
more to ensure that oicial development assistance is aligned with national priorities; and
strengthening the international trade and inancial systems so that countries with limited
capabilities can successfully integrate into the global economy.
Pursuing these and related initiatives will not be easy: we need new types of
thinking and a new balance between decision-making processes at the national and global
levels. In that spirit, the Survey ofers ideas on how the international community can steer
a course towards achieving a more balanced and sustainable globalization and a safer,
more prosperous and more just world for all. I therefore commend the body of information
and the analyses presented here to a wide global audience.
