About the product
All desiring to be challenged to think creatively about the potential for coping with a growing array of global problems will find this volume to be stimulating reading. Penetrating analyses of past and present experience in a broad array of 'laboratories' in the United Nations system are pointed toward illuminating future potential. Coverage encompasses the prevention of violence; creating economic and social structures that sustain human fulfilment; sharing and protecting the commons; and peace education. It also presents an extensive collection of recommendations for new institutions and programmes on issues that include controlling weapons, humanitarian intervention, collaboration between UN peacekeepers and NGOs, human rights, economic policies, peace education and the advancement of women.
