This book is the product of a collective effort by some members of
the Group of 78. The name of the group derives from the number of
its founding members. Its activities comprise studies of and
analysis of public issues which seem at the time to be of crucial
importance not only to Canadians but to all the inhabitants of the
planet. The issues are discussed at annual conferences and some of
the discussions have been edited and published. The present effort
was stimulated by the rapid changes in the political landscape of
Eastern Europe and the consequent demise of the Cold War. It seemed
at the time that those changes were about to usher in a new
historical era, rich in unprecedented opportunities of improving
human life, in particular of freeing humanity from the threats
generated by the burgeoning arsenals of weapons of total
destruction and by the degradation of the environment. It seemed
that global collective effort directed at solving urgent global
problems became suddenly possible. One could speak hopefully of an
"agenda" for such collective effort. The following members of the
Group of 78 and friends sympathetic to its aims contributed to this
work by submitting copy, directing us to sources, making cogent
suggestions for substantive revisions or stylistic improvements:
Newton R. Bowles Soonoo Engineer Shirley Farlinger Ann Gertler
Leonard Johnson Peter Meincke Gwen Rapoport Ronald Shirtliff Anne
