Re Imagining Humane Global Governance

Richard Falk's book, "Reimagining Humane Global Governance," examines the ways in which we can improve global governance to make it more ethical and humane. He divides the book into three parts, discussing topics such as geopolitics, the future of international law, climate change and nuclear weapons, 9/11, global democracy and the UN.
