Opis

This book provides a new theoretical framework for the study of global governance and applies it to three vital United Nations global policies.

Recenzje

'The book looks closely at the operations of the United Nations in sustainable development, human rights, and the protection of civilians in war. Global governance is a story of politics and social conflict, in which the costs and benefits of outcomes are unequally distributed, and values and worldviews stubbornly resist calls for harmony and consensus. Policymakers cannot make the world better if they do not understand how it works.' G. John Inkenberry, Foreign Affairs
