Description

Individual security and global governance – the juxtaposition of the basic concepts essential for the 'good life', which would have been recognised by Aristotle – are now at the frontier of thinking on international relations. Based on the work of a range of international scholars and policymakers, this volume examines the economic diversity between the richest and poorest countries of the world. Human security and global governance stand as extremes in the political spectrum. The juxtaposition of these concepts with contributions from Richard Falk, Mahbub ul-Haq, David Krieger and Jonathan Friedman cover a huge field, including reform of the UN, the nuclear threat, English language hegemony and cultural security, ethnic conflict, and human security for women.
