Description

In the twenty-first century our economies are more globalized than ever - why not our politics too? In The Unfinished Global Revolution former UN Deputy Secretary-General Mark Malloch-Brown argues that national governments are no longer equipped to address such complex global issues as climate change and poverty. Increasingly NGOs, civil society and the private sector are filling in the gaps. Drawing on his experiences at the frontlines of international development - from Cambodia to Darfur, Washington to UN headquarters - Malloch-Brown argues that we must embrace these increasingly powerful networks to form a wholly new approach to global politics. 'Drawing from a wealth of personal experience on the frontlines of world affairs, Mark's book is authentic, compelling and immensely enjoyable.' Kofi A. Annan 'The clash that will really matter, contends Malloch-Brown in this admirable book, is between international co-operation and old-fashioned nationalism . . . With every international agreement . . . we may be moving towards the global revolution he advocates so eloquently.' Economist 'What is attractive about Malloch-Brown's book is the combination of detail, authority and humility derived from decades of trying to make international co-operation work.' Financial Times 'A fascinating and important read.' Fareed Zakaria
