NGOs, the UN, and Global Governance

by Thomas G. Weiss, Leon Gordenker
RM41.00 MYR Now RM30.00 MYR Save 27%
NGOs, the UN, and Global Governance
NGOs, the UN, and Global Governance

For global citizens shaping change beyond states

This is a thoughtful pick if you’re curious about how international politics actually gets done outside government halls. It explores the relationship between NGOs and the UN in a way that feels especially relevant if you care about activism, policy, or global justice. Readers drawn to big-picture systems will likely appreciate how it connects idealism with the messy realities of global governance.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
