520			_aJ.F. Rischard, vice-president for Europe of the World Bank, offers his suggestions for solving twenty of the most urgent global problems of the 21st-century
520			_aIn this age of instant communication and biotechnology, on this ever-smaller planet, what kinds of problems have we created for ourselves? How do we tackle them in a world where the accustomed methods used by nation-states may be reaching their natural limits? Here, World Bank economist J.F. Rischard challenges us to take a new approach to the problems of the twenty-first century. Defining and then offering a brief overview of the twenty most important and urgent global problems, Rischard finds that they all have two things in common: they're getting worse, not better, and the standard strategies for dealing with them are woefully inadequate to the task. The real problem, in other words, is that in our increasingly crowded, interconnected world, we don't have an effective way of addressing the problems such a world creates. Our difficulties belong to the future, but our means of solving them belong to the past. Rischard proposes new vehicles for global problem-solving that would be acknowledged by governments but that would function as extra-governmental bodies devoted to particular problems. Their powers would not be legal but normative: they would produce globally recognized standards and would single out the nations and organizations that were not cooperating. No previous book has presented such a unified appraisal of this century's global problems, or offered such a consistent and well-defined approach to solving them. This is an agenda-setting book that everyone who cares about the future must read.--Adapted from dust jacket
