Global Covenant by David Held

Global Covenant by David Held

In this pathbreaking book, one of the world's leading analysts of globalization and global governance confronts the failures of international politics in the aftermath of 9/11 and the war against Iraq.

"If you want to understand globalisation you need to read Global Covenant"
The Guardian

"A healthy antidote to the realist international relations literature, Held persuasively argues for a global covenant based on universal values and driven by a social-democratic coalition ... an outstanding addition to Held's Democracy and the Global Order."
M. E. Carranza, Choice

"I found this an immensely encouraging book; it does not just analyse the problems of the global order but offers a credible solution for a cooperative multilateral world."
Robin Cook MP, Former UK Foreign Secretary

"A rare combination of sociological imagination, penetrating analysis and solid empirical evidence, yielding a politically constructive view: a brilliant integration of research carried out over a decade."
Jürgen Habermas, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University

'David Held has written a remarkable book, addressing the major problems political decision-makers grapple with in the post 9/11 world. It should be read by all those who care about the future of our globe.'
Javier Solana, Secretary General, Council of the European Union

David Held is Graham Wallas Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
