Krishna-Hensel,
Sai Felicia ed. Global cooperation : challenges
and opportunities in the twenty-first century.
Aldershot, England ; Burlington, VT : Ashgate,
c2006
The twenty-first century global community
is confronted with unprecedented challenges
as well as unique opportunities. The degree
to which it can establish and institutionalize
norms and mechanisms designed to promote and
sustain meaningful global cooperation will
determine the future course of civilization.
This volume brings together a broad range
of scholars to highlight some of the areas
of contemporary transnational cooperation
and to examine the scope and levels at which
cooperation can and does take place. The study
examines the issue of weapons of mass destruction,
explores the promises of biotechnology and
space technology, and investigates the roles
of global conventions and institutions as
strategies for addressing the common threats
facing the international system.
In short, the volume raises important, timely
issues regarding the challenges and opportunities
confronting the global community which both
policy makers and academicians will find informative
and thought-provoking in their efforts to
understand the nature and complexity of the
twenty-first century global community. (Ashgate
