Which global issues have the most impact on our lives at the
beginning of the 21st century? What's the relationship between
developments in politics, ecology, the economy, security, and
systems of global government, and how do we as individuals address
the problems that they raise in an increasingly globalized world?
Global Trends and Global Governance offers answers to these
questions. It is a concise and practical guide that explains the
key political, economic, ecological and social factors that shape
the process of globalization, and the way that they affect the
lives of all people around the world. Written in a clear and
accessible style, it is an indispensable handbook for activists,
civil servants, policy researchers, and anyone interested in
getting involved in political action.Covering each of the subject
areas chapter by chapter, and drawing on information from UN
reports, the book is packed with useful facts and figures that
elucidate these complex ideas. It includes analysis of the US
economy and US foreign policy as part of a wider critique of
UN-unilaterlism, revealing the need to establish more cooperative
and inclusive forms of global politics. Public action, such as the
organized protests in Seattle and Prague, and the demonstrations at
the environment summit at the Hague, are now having an impact on
the way that the world is governed. Addressing this changing
situation, and the implications that it holds for human security,
the contributors analyse ways in which we can evolve new ways of
working together to cope with problems of a transnational nature.
Das Buch gibt eine fundierte Einfuhrung in die Problematik der
Migration, wie sie sich heute international und in Deutschland
darstellt.
