On Humane Governance Reviews

"With impressive sweep, Professor Falk provides a lucid account of late twentieth--century international trends and what he sees as the state--centric and market--driven orientation of global governance. He is cogently critical of the human and environmental impact of prevailing geopolitical forces. Fearful about losing the opportunity to reshape world order presented by teh end of the cold War, he calls for a more a humane governencea ... an engaging contribution to the debate on the future of a global order." Ismat Kittani, Special adviser to the Secretary--General of the United Nations "This book makes a worthwhile contribution to the growing number of loosely linked neo--idealist texts produced since the end of the Cold War."
