Summary

Inequality is becoming an urgent issue of world politics at the end of the twentieth century. This book investigates eight core areas of world politics in order to suggest that growing inequality is reducing the capacity of governments and international organizations to manage these problems effectively. The eight areas surveyed include: international order, international law, welfare and social policy, global justice, regionalism and multilateralism, environmental protection, gender equality, military power, and security.
