Description

Describing the state-of-the-art in international organising - from the gritty streets of Seattle and Johannesburg to the polished hallways of the UN, World Bank, IMF and WTO, this book offers easy-to-understand explanations of each issue and institution in the globalisation conflict, with an emphasis on how decisions get made. Dawkins also breaks new ground in laying out ideas for the future - not a utopia, but a medium-term agenda for activists that builds on the geopolitical tensions and opportunities taking shape today.
