As our current systems of decision-making are increasingly unable
to meet the global challenges of climate change, resource
depletion, poverty, healthcare, economic instability and global
violence, the contributors in this book make a radical proposal for
an innovative form of governance that is based on core human values
such as love, compassion, care, justice and dignity. Arising from a
concern that the "old paradigm" of alienation, consumerism,
selfishness and exploitation is damaging for humankind and the
family of Earth, the book postulates that a new way of being must
be in place so that intrinsic values of caring for others should
underpin the intent of our decisions at personal, regional,
national, international and global levels. With illustrative
references and examples in fields of politics, economy, health and
peace, the content of this book argues forcefully that Love, with a
capital L, matters in governance, where values can serve as the
basis to transform human consciousness about international
institutions, community relationships and individual actions. Why
Love Matters provides an important introductory text to students of
global governance, management studies, political economics,
international relations and peace studies, and equally offers
illuminating and instructive ideas to leaders, managers and
practitioners who are interested in what values-based governance
means and looks like and how to go about it in practice.
