The Authors, the Publisher, and the Sponsor. 330 $aThe world that we live in today is changing dramatically. Economic and political liberalization, together with accelerating technological change, are driving the extraordinary process we know as ''globalization.'' This new global environment requires new approaches, new ideas, and innovative tools to address new challenges in areas as different as weapons control, climate change, genetic engineering, and labour standards. Critical Choices looks at one such tool: global public policy networks. In these networks, governments, international organizations, the corporate sector, and civil society join together to achieve what none can accomplish on its own. The authors explore both the promises and the limitations of this new form of global cooperation. They discuss how such networks might contribute to better manage the risks and make use of the opportunities that globalization presents. Finally, they offer provocative advice and solid recommendations on how the United Nations can foster such networks in the years ahead. The United Nations faces a set of critical choices. It must not only be a haven for its member states but also needs to find ways to collaborate with civil society and the global business community in tackling the challenges that lie ahead. By promoting global public policy networks, the UN will more effectively serve its member states and fulfill its mission to address the problems of humanity. 606 $aInternational organization 606 $aInternational cooperation 615 0$aInternational organization. 615 0$aInternational cooperation. 676 $a341.23 700 $aReinicke$b Wolfgang H$0597067 701 $aDeng$b Francis Mading$f1938-$0243264 701 $aWitte$b Jan Martin$01034694 712 02$aInternational Development Research Centre (Canada) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345103103321 996 $aCritical choices$92453979 997 $aUNINA
