<P>"</P><P>Public debate is often mired in superficial arguments about “globalization.” This insightful book by economist Ralph C. Bryant instead emphasizes that the world's nations need to craft better middle-ground compromises to improve governance and manage increasing integration.

And nations need to act together collectively. Cooperative governance can encourage orderliness that mitigates disarray undermining mutual goals.</P><P>"</P>
