Description
This thoughtful book debates civics in a universal context. It clearly illustrates that we cannot achieve the cooperation that is needed for a globalizing century without developing some form of global civics. For international cooperation to succeed in our increasingly interdependent world, our perception of worldwide connection and solidarity has to deepen, and our sense of being part of a global community has to strengthen.
