The commission, with a goal to formulate arguments on how to close the gap between the North and South, developed a planetary perspective grounded in economic redistribution, ecological considerations, and disarmament. The multinationals, at that time, a new kind of business corporation, repressed Brandt's vision by seeking freedom from political monitoring. This book discusses the ways that global corporations created facts that changed the world and the preconditions of politics. It moves beyond existing research that considers the competition merely a theoretical clash between Keynesianism and neoliberalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeaturing a thorough analysis of the decades' trends and a new interview with Shridath Ramphal, the Commission's unofficial vice chair, this is a timely volume for students and researchers of international relations, political science, and contemporary history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bo Str蚯h\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032332336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032332338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Bo Str蚯h","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123201011967,"sku":"9781032332338","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37347c1d-256b-4dc9-876d-49cd07594fb4.jpg?v=1687429513","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-brandt-commission-and-the-bo-strth-9781032332338","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
