978-1-84407-102-9 (ISBN)
An optimistic assessment of the prospects for a new international order - acting as a counter-blast to global pessimism. The text explains how the international system operates, the pressures it faces and the changes it must undergo, and offers concrete ideas to re-frame international relations, foreign aid and humanitarian intervention, without using jargon or simplistic judgements.
Michael Edwards is the Director of the Ford Foundation's Governance and Civil Society Unit in New York.
