Black also considers possibilities for reform to make it more democratic, effective, and fit for its purpose.Maggie Black has written books for Oxford University Press, UNICEF, and Oxfam and articles for The Economist and BBC World Service. She has worked as a consultant for UNICEF and Anti-Slavery International.
