Social Futures, Global Visions

"The ten authors of this fascinating book, who include Dahrendorf, Hobsbawm, Giddens and Galtung, provide a range of visions of how our current social problems may work themselves out in the next century. Between them, they provide feats of disciplined imagination that never fail to stimulate and energise the mind, inspiring or horrifying us towards new actions for social development. No-one could come away from reading this book still believing that 'The future has been cancelled, owing to lack of interest'." John Toye, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex

"For anyone concerned to understand the directions the world is heading in on the threshold of the 21st century this will prove a stimulating and worthwhile read." Mark Salter, New Routes
