Publisher Synopsis
`Business and corporate actions, globally and locally, have often encouraged and aggravated human conflict. Equally evident is the fact that business, if only out of enlightened self-interest, can and should be an integral part of preventing, mitigating and ending violent conflict. This highly complex relationship needs to be seriously studied and discussed with an open mind. Dr. Suder's publication makes an important contribution to this discussion and I recommend the information and analysis contained in this book to a wide audience.' -- Daniel Stauffacher, Former Ambassador of Switzerland and Chairman ICT4Peace Foundation `While Golda Meir was Prime Minister of Israel she shared her hopes for humanity: "I hope that some day, perhaps not in my time or my children's time, but in my grandchildren's time, war will become like cannibalism, completely unthinkable". For war to be unthinkable, business must be a part of the solution. Gabriele Suder's new volume recognizes the imperative of peace and brings many of the best thinkers in the world together to ask how the private sector can contribute to a peaceful future for our planet. With strikingly new ideas, International Business under Adversity is must reading for business leaders and students alike.' -- Nancy J. Adler, McGill University, Canada Read more...
