Small chip out of top of spine. 469 indexed pages. 9.25" X 6" X 1.3" A visionary diagnosis and critique of the modern social and political orders, The True Worlds offers a realistic framework for a new world, free from war and the inequities of wealth and power. Galtung views violence and oppression as a widespread symptoms of obsolete political structures - both capitalist and socialist. In this place, he describes a pluralistic, decentralized world, composed of diverse, interacting, self-reliant units with no built-in need to exploit one another. He suggests that nonterritorial organizations (such as the United Nations) increase in number in order to correct tendencies toward injustice, and, finally, he recommends a world central authority that could articulate the demands of countries and solve problems and conflicts through limited jurisdiction in energy, disarmament, and other areas. The latest contribution to the acclaimed World Order Models Project Series, the True Worlds shows how the ills of Western society: poverty, repression, environmental hazards, and violence - can give way to an interdependent world in which the individual, and not the nation-state, is the basic unit of politics. It offers a constructive, viable alternative to the present structure of global life. The Free Press 1980. Seller Inventory # B53-H12
