L'humanitaire en catastrophe

He analyses the failure of international politics to deal with the consequences of September 11 and the war in Iraq. He advocates an alternative to the one the western coalition has used to respond to the challenges of mass terrorism and political violence.

Translated from the original: Global Covenant, The Social Democratic Alternative to the Washington Consensus.
