This book contends that the forces of late modernity are trapped between a capital-driven globalization and a territorially rooted revival of tribalism and ultra-nationalism. Its critical focus is on global structures that are producing new patterns of North/South and rich/poor domination, as well as exerting dangerous pressures on the carrying capacities of the planet.


The volume argues that any hopeful response to these threatening developments requires the fundamental revision of such basic ideas as sovereignty, democracy and security. These organizing conceptions of political life are being reshaped during this era of transition from a state-centric world of geopolitics to a more centrally guided world of geogovernance. This book contends that geogovernance will have adverse consequences for the human condition unless it can be mainly constructed by transnational democratic forces animated by a vision of human governance. The character of this vision, and the politics of its realization, are set forth in the final chapters.


"On Humane Governance: Toward a New Global Politics "has been compiled as a report for the World Order Models Project (WOMP).
