Recenzje

'With the knowledge of one who has been there, James Bacchus both demonstrates what it takes - and challenges us - to ensure a prosperous future, a livable world for ours and future generations. And he does it by refreshing the construct of sustainable development and reviewing it against the high stakes of inaction in the face of evidence; the power of the rule of law and the imperative to re-imagine and adapt it; the vital need to advance an enlightened global compact through cooperation rather than confrontation. A must-read for anyone engaged in the global governance of trade and investment, climate, energy and natural resources, and development.' Ricardo Melendez-Ortiz, Chief Executive, International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development
