Description: "The report illustrates the importance of network governance in the context of economic globalization, aid and development. It argues that this is of particular relevance in the context of the current debate on the establishment of a new set of global development goals by 2015. The updated 2012 Connectedness Index, covering 132 countries, shows that many emerging economies -- such as Chile, Costa Rica, South Africa and Viet Nam -- have systematically improved their connectedness."
