A new world order

Anne-Marie Slaughter.

Edición de la obra A New World Order

"Anne-Marie Slaughter asks us to completely rethink how we view the political world. It's not a collection of nation-states that communicate through presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers, and the United Nations. Nor is it a clique of NGOs. It is governance through a complex global web of "government networks."" "Slaughter provides the most compelling and authoritative description to date of a world in which government officials - police investigators, financial regulators, even judges and legislators - exchange information and coordinate activity across national borders to tackle crime, terrorism, and the routine daily grind of international interactions. National and international judges and regulators can also work closely together to enforce international agreements more effectively than ever before. These networks, which can range from a group of constitutional judges exchanging opinions across borders to more established organizations such as the G-8 or the International Association of Insurance Supervisors, make things happen - and they frequently make good things happen. But they are underappreciated and, worse, underused to address the challenges facing the world today."--BOOK JACKET
