In Search of New Development Finance

This book offers a state of the art analysis of innovative development finance, examining both new ideas and recent practice.

The book opens with chapters from experts commissioned by the United Nations, tracing the history of innovative finance over the last fifty years, examining experiences in the health sector both at global and regional levels, and looking at innovative finance practice in Asia and Latin America. The book goes on to look at the potential of new sources of finance as yet unimplemented, including work on international tax cooperation to capture illegal and illicit capital flight and the potential of remittances.
