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).
