Product Description
Globalization has brought wealth and progress to most of the world. At the same time population levels have mushroomed, urban centers greatly expanded, inequalities sharpened and with the poor and workless aggrieved at the widening gap resistance has often turned violent. Though terrorism is multi-causal, the urban ghettos provide ready made recruiting ground for insurgents. The cause of social justice and human rights has visibly faltered under the impact of intensifying competition, political radicalization together with the upsurge of fundamentalist creeds. Manifestly, time has come to take stock before tensions will worsen. Alarming as portends may seem, as events such as the Ukrainian Orange Revolution as well as the spontaneous aid initiatives in response to the tsunami disaster demonstrate, it is no less apparent that one can look forward towards realistic prospects for progress and peace.
