Globalization, Violence, and World Governance

Calling international law a failed enterprise, this book explores how we may yet reconstruct a true system of international rights enforced by international laws, and contemplates the limitations of international organizations to effectively address truly international problems. Through the lens of political ecology Westra offers a call for action to protect our environments and our selves.

Part of the Studies in Critical Social Sciences (SCSS) book series.
