One World, One People: How Globalization is Shaping Our Future
An excellent work and important contribution. Every person concerned about the world's recurring crises and its immediate prospects, and who wants to know what we can do to bring about a positive outcome, should ponder the vital themes of this book. In addition, it should be required reading for students majoring in Public Policy, Economics, Political Science, International Law and related fields, as it provides a wealth of information and insight into the processes of globalization and their ultimate convergence in a new kind of world society. The writing is crystal clear and highly engaging, making it easy for a layperson like myself to understand the discussion. The book's points are well documented with extensive notes and a 12-page bibliography, adding much to its value for the serious student. The final chapters outline the changes in attitudes and institutions that will be needed to bring about a more just, peaceful and sustainable order.
