Happiness is the Wrong Metric : A Liberal Communitarian Response to Populism
This timely book addresses the conflict between globalism and nationalism. It provides a liberal communitarian response to the rise of populism occurring in many democracies. The book highlights the role of communities next to that of the state and the market. It spells out the policy implications of liberal communitarianism for privacy, freedom of the press, and much else. In a ersuasive argument that speaks to politics today from Europe to the United States to Australia, the author offers a compelling vision of hope. Above all, the book offers a framework for dealing with moral challenges people face as they seek happiness but also to live up to their responsibilities to others and the common good.
Diplomacy and International Law in Globalized Relations
"The art of diplomacy has thoroughly changed in the age of globalization. Foreign policy is no longer the domain of relations among states, but is practiced by international organizations, transnational companies, and non-governmental organizations alike. This book explores the changing role of diplomacy in a globalizing world. It serves as an eye opener for anybody interested in the practice of international negotiations, written by one of the most experienced senior diplomats of the German foreign service."
