Global Governance

In this sweeping and ambitious study of the global governance, Professor János Hoós gives an outline account of the social, political and economical forces that have major impact on the future of the world. He examines why entering the twenty-first century the globalizing world brings with it historically unprecedented economic, social and security dangers. Fortunately, at this very same time unlimited economic, social and security development possibilities are equally possible. The fate of mankind, to either eliminate the dangers, or utilize the possibilities, depends on his ability to establish and employ responsible global governance. Man can mitigate the danger and reap the enormous development possibilities through the implementation of efficient global governance. Without such governance the devastating consequences of globalization may be unavoidable. Therefore man has a huge stake in pursuing global governance. This concept is the main motivation of his book. The book of Professor János Hoós sets forth a theoretical and practical rationale of global governance and also examines existing features of its success and weakness. It elaborates the dilemmas and dangers that global governance must face, and in the last chapter outlines a perspective for global governance. This book can serve as the primary resource for scholars and students who want to learn about these new challenges of the contemporary globalized world. This book is much more than an excellent survey of political and economic literature of globalization dealing with global governance. In the process of integrating and synthesizing this literature János Hoós has made important original contributions to the field of economics which focuses on the globalization.
