Publisher's Synopsis
From his unique perspective as Director-General of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Professor Federico Mayor moves beyond the 'reporting society' to propose a method (as well as concrete suggestions) for solving the key global issues of our post-Cold War era. The notion of a 'new page' first occurred to Federico Mayor in 1988 as the first agreements on nuclear non-proliferation and on a genuine reduction in tactical and strategic missiles came within reach. Changes in the world, notably rapid transformation in the then Soviet Union, began to indicate that the civilization of war was coming to an end.
