<br/><br/> "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.
