Summary

• "World Order for a New Millennium examines one of the major issues of our age: how humanity should organize itself on the highest levels of governance - the global level. World Order for a New Millennium provides an overview of the various types of world order, based on the three strategies of coercion, exchange and integration. It then reviews the development of international law and the current means of promoting and enforcing it, in the absence of an international police force.
