Human Values and Global Governance

The result of major research on development, security and culture, this collection, and second volume Sustainable Development in a Globalized World , outlines the emerging field of global studies and the theoretical approach of global social theory. It considers social relations and the need for intercultural dialogue to respect 'the other'.

'The contributions to this volume explore in consistently interesting ways the means by which global ethics and universal human rights can only now be sustained by negotiation and a spirit of pluralism and respect.' - Professor Tony Payne, Department of Politics, University of Sheffield, UK.
