It will not be an overstatement to say that the world we are living in is in disarray. From ever-increasing population to lack of updated education, minuscule business/economic opportunities, poverty, environmental degradation, terrorism, corruption, manipulated elections, and exorbitant misuse of natural resources, the world has constantly been experiencing a devastating effect. Those who are in charge of solving these issues are busy spouting racist rhetoric to score votes by manipulating/controlling elections and exploiting markets/resources of other nations. In Global Political Party for Self-Empowerment, Dr. Jalil Ahmad has shed light on all these issues as well as proposed a remarkable solution for people to achieve self-empowerment through updated education funded by the government, unbiased and controlled elections, and citizen's right to have access to the capital of the country. This vision is not for one country but for the whole world. Most issues are global therefore these can be solved only by global efforts, regulations, and global political parties. By aligning their goals and empowering their people through the fair democratic process, nations can not only eradicate world poverty, hunger, and illiteracy but also create harmony among people and far better economic opportunities that exist now. With required updated-government funded education, citizens' access to capital, and uncontrolled elections on our planet, we can take the first step to have a more equitable, prosperous, and peaceful world.

Featuring contributions from major figures from Samir Amin to Jan Aart Scholte, this book is an analysis of what the globalization of party politics would mean for the nation state, global governance and democracy worldwide.

This groundbreaking collection on global leadership features innovative and critical perspectives by scholars from international relations, political economy, medicine, law and philosophy, from North and South. The book's novel theorization of global leadership is situated historically within the classics of modern political theory and sociology, relating it to the crisis of global capitalism today. Contributors reflect on the multiple political, economic, social, ecological and ethical crises that constitute our current global predicament. The book suggests that there is an overarching condition of global organic crisis, which shapes the political and organizational responses of the dominant global leadership and of various subaltern forces. Contributors argue that to meaningfully address the challenges of the global crisis will require far more effective, inclusive and legitimate forms of global leadership and global governance than have characterized the neoliberal era.

As government officials and political activists are becoming increasingly aware, international nonprofit agencies have an important political dimension: although not self-serving, these private voluntary organizations (PVOs) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) seek social changes of which many of their financial contributors are unaware. As PVOs and NGOs receive increasing subsidies from their home governments in the United States, Canada, and Europe, they are moving away from short-term relief commitments in developing countries and toward longer-term goals in health, education, training, and small-scale production. Showing that European and Canadian NGOs focus more on political change as part of new development efforts than do their U.S. counterparts, Brian Smith presents the first major comparative study of the political aspect of PVOs and NGOs. Smith emphasizes the paradoxes in the private-aid system, both in the societies that send aid and in those that receive it. Pointing out that international nonprofit agencies are in some instances openly critical of nation-state interests, he asks how these agencies can function in a foreign-aid network intended as a support for those same interests. He concludes that compromises throughout the private-aid networkand some secrecymake it possible for institutions with different agendas to work together. In the future, however, serious conflicts may develop with donors and nation states. Originally published in 1990.

The World Today Series: Western Europe is an annually updated presentation of each sovereign country in Western Europe, past and present.

This book assesses the extent to which two specialized UN agencies – the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal – have been able to regulate environmental pollution in the global commons. Since the Kyoto Protocol and its tasking of these two public International Organizations (IOs) in 1997 to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from the fast-growing international shipping and aviation sectors, they have struggled with the assignment even as the external pressure has mounted for them to act. David Deese examines why these two UN agencies have largely failed to execute their critical missions to date and explores the most promising emerging and feasible routes to control and reduce these emissions by other means. Drawing on a range of sources including interviews with key actors in the IMO and ICAO, as well as from industry and national governments, Deese looks at the multifaceted politics that drive these IOs and considers how this has delayed and frustrated the execution of their assigned climate mitigation missions. He also explains how the limitations of the IMO and ICAO are likely to be found to a degree in other UN specialized agencies and examines how lessons learned here will be helpful in understanding the operations of other IOs. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of global governance and IOs, transport, and environment and climate change. It will also be a useful resource for industry and non-profit experts and public officials working in shipping and aviation regulation.
