Recenzii

’...an important exploration of relevant contemporary themes such as the impact of globalization on issues of governance, the growing importance of civil society-government relations, the geopolitics of Asia and the relevance of human security to summit diplomacy.’ Brian Stevenson, Associate Vice-President (International), University of Alberta, Canada ’...extremely well organized, thoughtfully presented, and well written. Among other things, it is the only comprehensive assessment that deals with virtually all of the key issues that relate to global political governance.’ Michael Hawes, Executive Director, Canada-US Fulbright Program '...provides a rich resource for international relations students and for those seeking a better understanding of the tensions and strategies that inform the exercise of power in the new century.' The Round Table '...this book is an important contribution for those interested in understanding global institutions' attempts to govern the political, social and economic implications of emerging issues of international security and new geopolitical realities.'
