Beschreibung
Who would doubt that the course of the late 20th century was
powerfully shaped by „globalization“? This book is
designed to enrich our understanding of this potent force by
illuminating one of its important, but less-appreciated
features: the closely associated impulse to develop „global
management“ capabilities. The volume is organized into four
sections: evolving techniques for controlling „East-West“
conflict in the post-1945 period; the escalation of
„North-South“ problems; the delineation of strategies for
defusing economic and environmental dangers; and the
amplification of concern for international law, particularly
with respect to „human rights.“
