Description
We live in a rapidly shrinking planet. The collection of works contained in this volume represents an important step in developing a vocabulary that deals with globalization and all that the term implies. By examining the forces that shape our world, from communications technology to democratization, the authors help us understand how these forces are working and anticipate how they will continue to change the way we live. Solutions to problems such as human rights and poverty must be attacked at the same time we struggle with political corruption, financing our economic activities, and ensuring regional and national security. Most of these papers were presented at the CISS/ISA Paris Conference, held on August 9-10, 1999.
