Introduction : the co-operative imperative -- 1945 and all that: a brief history of international co-operation -- How do countries grow? it's the polity, stupid! -- It's not size that matters : development projects re-examined -- Matters of life and death : the record of humanitarian intervention -- Summary : sticks, carrots and room to manoeuvre -- Creativity plus opportunity : a new formula for foreign aid -- Humanising capitalism : which way forward? -- Light but firm : the future of global governance -- Building constituencies for change : the rise and fall of Third-World charity -- The getting of wisdom : institutional reform and personal revolution -- Conclusion : how can I help?
Review: "Future Positive is a comprehensive and authoritative rethink of an international system facing a period of unprecedented change. In a world of globalising markets, eroding state sovereignty, expanding citizen action and uncertainty about fundamental truths, what is the best way to tackle problems of global poverty and violence? In this groundbreaking book, Michael Edwards charts a 'third way' between heavy-handed intervention and complete laissez-faire."--BOOK JACKET.
