(global, inclusive, cooperative, environmentally aware, science based)
required to deal with realities of crowded planet; 2) alternative is
worldwide economic collapse of unprecedented severity; 3) prosperity
will have to be sustained through more cooperative processes - public
policy, market forces to spread technology, address needs of poor,
husband threatened resources of water, air, energy, land, biodiversity;
4) "soft issues" of environment, public health, population will become
hard issues of geopolitics; 5) new forms of global politics will replace
capital-city-dominated national diplomacy, intrigue; 6) national
governments will become much weaker actors as scientific networks,
socially responsible investors, foundations become more powerful actors.
