Abstract
Development remains a central concept for policy design and implementation aimed
at improving the quality of life of the world population, despite a manifest rise in neoliberalist
economic growth policy strategic guidance rationales. In accepting the relevance of development
processes, this paper proposes a global development formula embracing four main pillars and their
respective components: (i) global governance; (ii) global wealth; (iii) global resources; and (vi) global
sustainability. Ultimately, this global development perspective presents a more comprehensive and
holistic lens than current development visions to demonstrate the development status of territories
at all territorial scales. By using existing indexes associated with the proposed main pillars of
development, the research presents a novel global development index for 2020.
