THE LAST EMPIRES - WILLIAM ALLAN KARTONIERT (TB)

This book is a forthright and novel examination of efforts to improve national and global
governance over the last forty years. Much has changed since Michel Foucault considered  and
rejected  economics and neoliberalism as a potential mechanism for individuals to govern
themselves and their nations. Nonetheless  his approach  which focused on the evolution of
social development through interaction of many disciplines and biopolitical forces  remains
highly relevant. Neoliberalism became a dominant political force from the 1980s to the present.
It has failed however to address issues of inequality  to ensure economic stability  or to
tackle the problems of people and nations that have been marginalized by industrial progress
and international conflict. Market forces alone cannot meet the needs of global society. Now 
however  developments in behavioural theory  institutional theory and analysis  accounting
theory and accountability practice are providing tools that are developing comprehensive and
evidence-based measures of well-being that promise to broaden and strengthen the field of
socio-economic policy-making. Resolute  albeit long-term  steps to establish widely accepted
standards of accountability  the book argues  are essential to guide policies and address the
formidable governance issues of global security  information technology  social inequality  and
economic and financial crises that the world faces at the beginning of the 21st century.
