The twenty-first century global community is confronted with
unprecedented challenges as well as unique opportunities. The
degree to which it can establish and institutionalize norms and
mechanisms designed to promote and sustain meaningful global
cooperation will determine the future course of civilization. This
volume brings together a broad range of scholars to highlight some
of the areas of contemporary transnational cooperation and to
examine the scope and levels at which cooperation can and does take
place. The study examines the issue of weapons of mass destruction,
explores the promises of biotechnology and space technology, and
investigates the roles of global conventions and institutions as
strategies for addressing the common threats facing the
international system. In short, the volume raises important, timely
issues regarding the challenges and opportunities confronting the
global community which both policy makers and academicians will
find informative and thought-provoking in their efforts to
understand the nature and complexity of the twenty-first century
global community.
