"If you want to understand globalisation you need to read Global Covenant."
The Guardian

"A healthy antidote to the realist international relations literature, Held persuasively argues for a global covenant based on universal values and driven by a social-democratic coalition ... an outstanding addition to Held's Democracy and the Global Order."
M. E. Carranza, Choice

"I found this an immensely encouraging book; it does not just analyse the problems of the global order but offers a credible solution for a cooperative multilateral world."
Robin Cook MP, Former UK Foreign Secretary

"A rare combination of sociological imagination, penetrating analysis and solid empirical evidence, yielding a politically constructive view: a brilliant integration of research carried out over a decade."
Jürgen Habermas, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University

'David Held has written a remarkable book, addressing the major problems political decision-makers grapple with in the post 9/11 world. It should be read by all those who care about the future of our globe.'
Javier Solana, Secretary General, Council of the European Union
