{"product_id":"francois-jean-rischard-high-noon-9780465070107","title":"High Noon","description":"In this ambitious, challenging, yet superbly readable book, Jean-Francois Rischard first tells us what constitutes a \"global\" problem and then offers a brief overview of the twenty most important. He finds they all have two things in common: They're getting worse, not better, and the standard strategies for dealing with them, such as international treaties, are woefully inadequate to the task. The chief problem is that in our high-population, fast-moving, globalized and interconnected world, we don't have an effective way of addressing the problems that such a world creates. Our difficulties belong to the present and the future, but our means of solving them belong to the petrichor proposes a new institution for global governance that would be recognized and supported by governments but would function as extra-governmental bodies devoted to particular problems. The powers of these \"global issues networks\" would not be legal but normative: They would monitor compliance with various globally recognized standards and would single out the nations and organizations that were not co-operating. Anyone who has eaten a can of \"dolphin-safe\" tuna knows how powerful, in a market-driven world, the pressure to comply with such standards can be. No book has ever presented such a clear and unified appraisal of global problems or offered such a consistent and well-defined approach to solving them. High Noon will be an agenda-setting book of interest across the political spectrum.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53404573827414,"sku":"9780465070107-G","price":1.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780465070107_1_fb4d4ca0-e7d7-4332-a69d-a41201e7a524.jpg?v=1778125246","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/francois-jean-rischard-high-noon-9780465070107","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
