Global Governance: New Organizational Concepts In A Culturally Diverse System, Rosita Dellios

Rosita Dellios

This paper argues that as the West re-balances with the East in 21st century global governance, new organizational concepts – with their associated forms and structures – will emerge. Of particular interest will be two organizational concepts. One is 'harmonious world' (hexie shijie), as articulated by PRC President Hu Jintao at the United Nations in 2005.

Vanessa L. De Niro

The exploitation of modern child labor in developing countries persists in part because of consumers like us.
