In this pathbreaking book, one of the world's leadinganalysts of globalization and global governance confronts thefailures of international politics in the aftermath of 9/11 and thewar against Iraq. He argues that there were and are alternatives tothe way the western coalitions responded to the profound challengesof mass terrorism and political violence - alternatives which canbetter address the roots of these challenges and deliver politicaland social justice.
In order to grasp this alternative, the changing structure ofthe global order has to be understood. To this end, the book isdivided into three sections: economics, politics and law. In eachsection contemporary trends are analyzed, problems confronted, anda series of detailed policies set out. The aim of the book is tofocus on feasible and effective policy choices which could lead toa progressive transformation of global affairs. Against theideologues who are wholly in favour or hostile to globalization,this book shows how globalization can be better regulated todeliver human development, equitable economic change, democracy andjustice.
This is an original book that will appeal to all those -students, policy makers, and the general reader - who confrontquestions about globalization and global governance. It is anoptimistic text that holds that progressive political change isstill within our grasp.
