Klaus Schmidt-Hebbel, chief economist of the OECD, recently predicted a recession "which has not been seen since the early 1980s" for many OECD member countries -- and Canada, one of the most strict adherents to OECD economic policy, will likely prove no exception.
But what, exactly, is the OECD?
New from UBC Press, The OECD and Transnational Governance provides an in-depth look at this often cited by little understood organization. By tracing its history, structure and role in international governance, editors Rianne Mahon and Stephen McBride reveal the organization's influential role as a "purveyer of ideas" and "best practices" for economic and social policy in the world's most affluent countries.
