Globalizing Civil Society

Prompted by the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements, David Korten’s book indicts the world’s governments for failing to address growing hunger, housing shortages, unemployment, poverty, human rights abuses, and environmental degradation. In Globalizing Civil Society, Korten examines the causes of this global crisis and offers fresh solutions reflecting sustainability, community, and equity—the only principles that can assure a healthy future for the world’s people.
