    The Adventures of an American Surgeon in Nepal

  • Beyond Gridlock

    by Thomas Hale, David Held ...

    Why Global Cooperation is Failing when We Need It Most

    by Thomas Hale, Kevin Young, David Held ...
    The issues that increasingly dominate the 21st century cannot be solved by any single country acting alone, no matter how powerful.

But at the same time, our tools for global policymaking - chiefly state-to-state negotiations over treaties ... Read more

The book also presents solutions to other previously unresolved conjectures in ... Read more
