Richard Falk is Albert G. Milbank Professor of International Law and Practice at Princeton University. He has been a major contributor to the world order literature for more than three decades, and is one of the original members of the World Order Models Project. The WOMP was initiated in 1968, publishes the journal Alternatives, sponsored a series of books entitled "Preferred Worlds for the 1990s", and received the UNESCO peace education prize several years ago.

"With impressive sweep, Professor Falk provides a lucid account of late twentieth-century international trends and what he sees as the state-centric and market-driven orientation of global governance. He is cogently critical of the human and environmental impact of prevailing geopolitical forces. Fearful about losing the opportunity to reshape world order presented by teh end of the cold War, he calls for a more 'humane governence' ... an engaging contribution to the debate on the future of a global order." Ismat Kittani, Special adviser to the Secretary-General of the United Nations "This book makes a worthwhile contribution to the growing number of loosely linked neo-idealist texts produced since the end of the Cold War."
