Global Economy, Regulation and Development (GEARED)

The research unit ‘Global Economy, Regulation and Development’ (GEARED) examines key international development issues in the broader setting of current trends and transformations in the global economy. Of particular interest to our research agenda are the prospects of re-regulation at the global, regional and national levels – in the context of various crises (food, energy, and financial/economic) that have affected the global economy and developing countries the past few years. Specific focus is on the role that standards (on products, practices, corporate organization, policy) may be playing in such re-regulation.
