Nationalism vs. Nature
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-36058-9 (ISBN)
While, in a perfect world, such problems already would have been solved by the United Nations, this isn't the case in reality. The book discusses how humanity's many peoples can cooperate to a degree necessary to retain mutual respect without war, in the interest of achieving long-term change which will use technology for mutual good, also "dodging the bullet" of climate change. Offering an outlook into a possible better world, the author also analyzes the massive changes required for everyone to face, discuss, and solve the problems at hand.
The book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of political science, international relations, and environmental sciences, as well as practitioners and a general audience interested in the study of nationalism, diplomacy, wars, and climate change.
