These writings span the long period of his involvement in the World Order Models Project, his Editorship of the journal Alter natives and his work as Programme Director of the United Nations University's programme on Peace and Global Trans formation. The book also includes his Dyason Memorial Lectures which he delivered in Australia in 1974, his inaugural address to the International Institute of Strategic Studies in 1975, his paper for the United Nations Conference on the Effects of the Existing International Order on the Pursuit of Human Rights in the Developing Countries in 1980 and his contribution to the Committee of Experts convened by the Secretary-General of the United Nations for the Year of Peace in 1985.
