Carne Ross Boeken
Deze auteur duikt in de complexiteit van internationale betrekkingen en diplomatie. Zijn werk weerspiegelt een diepgaand begrip van politieke strategieën en onderhandelingsprocessen. Door middel van zijn schrijven belicht hij cruciale momenten in de mondiale politiek en benadrukt hij de noodzaak van effectief bestuur en bescherming van mensenrechten. Zijn benadering is analytisch en inzichtelijk, en biedt lezers een kijkje achter de schermen van de wereldwijde diplomatie.
A provocative and original book about the world today: the problems it faces, how it works and how ordinary citizens can retake control of its future
“It’s been a long time since I’ve read a more interesting, informing, and inspiring book.”—Bill Moyers What can we do beyond Occupy Wall Street? Political and economic systems are failing us, and it’s time for citizens to create change—individually and collaboratively. In The Leaderless Revolution, Carne Ross sounds a call to action. With dramatic stories from the United States and around the world, Ross’s analysis contrasts with the naïve, Panglossian optimism of globalization boosters like Thomas Friedman. Uncontrolled economic volatility, perpetual insecurity, rampant inequality, and accelerating climate change are heading us into a dangerous period of prolonged crisis. Ross—a former British diplomat to Iraq who resigned over his nation’s involvement in the U.S.-led invasion—draws from his own experiences to offer an empowering new vision of how we can put things right.
