A spirit-lifting memoir on how to turn pain into purpose, how to
live always in gratitude, and how to face down tragedy and turn it
into love. Nicole Avant—diplomat, philanthropist,
filmmaker—grew up surrounded by some of the most extraordinary
artists of our time: Bill Withers, Oprah Winfrey, Quincy Jones,
Sidney Poitier. Her parents—entertainment mogul, Clarence Avant,
and legendary philanthropist, Jacqueline Avant—turned their home
into a place of refuge and inspiration for a generation of
geniuses. Nicole drew on that magical upbringing to create a
stellar career in the music business, become the U.S. ambassador to
the Bahamas, and produce critically acclaimed award-winning films
and documentaries. Then, an unthinkable tragedy struck: her mother
was fatally shot in December 2021. In this searing and inspiring
memoir, Nicole turns the pain of her family’s loss into the fuel
that pushes her forward into an even more committed life of love
and activism: “We can’t banish evil,” she writes. “We have
to learn to swim through trauma and live for all of those who
can’t.” Turning tragedy into inspiration, Think You’ll
Be Happy—her mom’s last words to Nicole—provides a roadmap
for anyone working to remain positive and anchored in hope.Â

Academics and policymakers frequently discuss global governance but
they treat governance as a structure or process, rarely considering
who actually does the governing. This volume focuses on the agents
of global governance: 'global governors'. The global policy arena
is filled with a wide variety of actors such as international
organizations, corporations, professional associations, and
advocacy groups, all seeking to 'govern' activity surrounding their
issues of concern. Who Governs the Globe? lays out a theoretical
framework for understanding and investigating governors in world
politics. It then applies this framework to various governors and
policy arenas, including arms control, human rights, economic
development, and global education. Edited by three of the world's
leading international relations scholars, this is an important
contribution that will be useful for courses, as well as for
researchers in international studies and international
organizations.
