A New World Order - Grassroots Movements for Global Change (Paperback)

Paul Ekins examines the following global problems: war, insecurity and militarization; the persistence of poverty; the denial of human rights; environmental destruction. He analyzes the conventional policy approaches to these problems through a rigorous critique of the three United Nations reports of the 1980s, the Brandt, Palme and Bruntland Commissions. He also records and celebrates the achievements of the many individuals and organizations involved in policy and action at the grassroots level. Based on these achievements, he outlines the possibility of a "new world order" based on peace, justice and ecological sustainability, rather than conventional development policies. This book should be of interest to lecturers and students of peace studies, politics, geography, environmental studies, development, and to the general interest readership.
