Études internationales

All over the world, grassroots movements are forging links across national boundaries to resist the New World Order. Their aims are to restore the power of communities to nurture their environments; to enhance the access of ordinary people to the resources they need; and to democratize local, national, and international institutions. Such efforts provide a practical starting point for the construction of a genuine world community.

The contributors are scholars and activists associated with environmental, peace, labour, women's, human rights, development, and democracy movements in more than 20 countries on five continents.
