Healing the Hurts of Nations

"Healing the Hurts of Nations" first examines group identity, and the underlying dynamics of belief, fear, guilt, misunderstanding and hope that underlie national and international relations. Then it lifts a few rugs in the areas of globalizations, civilization, leadership, national interest and the imprints of the past. Part three highlights four countries to see how their histories affect their current situation - Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Britain and Iraq. Part four examines an emergent 21st century agenda, which shows itself through current events and offers the world definitive options at every stage. Given the scale of problems ahead, how will we break through? Finally, part five suggests contributions we can make to moving the world forward. It maps a scenario and a set of priorities for the 21st century.
