Princeton University"
This volume profiles 162 countries using as a basis for
comparison more than a hundred indicators measuring how each
country reflects 5 global values: peace, economic well-being,
ecological balance, social justice, and political participation.
The use of data-based management software systems for the
collection of information results in a broad-based analysis which
yields thoroughly documented conclusions and affirms the five
values as appropriate evaluative tools.
Introductory material outlines the methods used in the study,
defines the measurement criteria, and identifies the study's
objectives. Each of the five subject areas is then addressed
separately, its findings supported by numerous tables and excerpts,
and its data supplemented by a bibliography at the end of each
chapter. Students of political science as well as global policy
scholars will consider this unique application of current
technology to the examination of global values a significant
contribution to literature on the subject.
