The essays in this book reflect pioneering efforts to study the
global movement of ideas and institutions. They deal with topics of
significant contemporary importance: initiatives to address the
AIDS epidemic in East Africa; to protect the peoples and ecosystems
of the Amazon; to advance the "truth and reconciliation" process in
South Africa and in other areas of great conflict; to promote
"civil society" in Eastern Europe and Central Asia; to advocate for
environmental protection in the United States, Great Britain,
Germany, and Japan; and to spread Rotary Clubs and encourage
"social entrepreneurship" throughout the world. These essays
highlight a wide range of research, paying close attention to the
realities of particular situations and to current thinking about
general processes.
