Reviews
Edwards' Future Positive is a remarkably coherent account of complex and diverse issues.'London Review of Books 'This courageous book pursues the biggest issue of all: how international co-operation can be raised to a higher level. The pursuit is full of intellectual excitement, arriving at conclusions that are inspiring and challenging.'John Toye, UNCTAD'Edwards approaches problems facing the world with steady determination and a cool eye... He is remarkably persuasive, wise and extraordinarily well-informed.'Global Ideas Bank'It is particularly refreshing to read a book which sets out how such changes might be achieved, and which is fundamentally optimistic that they can be.'David Bryer, Director, Oxfam.

Synopsis
An optimistic assessment of the prospects for a new international order - acting as a counter-blast to global pessimism. The text explains how the international system operates, the pressures it faces and the changes it must undergo, and offers concrete ideas to re-frame international relations, foreign aid and humanitarian intervention, without using jargon or simplistic judgements., Published to worldwide acclaim in 1999, Future Positive has helped to revolutionise our thinking about international co-operation. This revised edition updates the arguments of the book to take account of the events of 11 September 2001, and offers an optimistic counter-blast to unilateralism. Book jacket.
