ABSTRACT

Anachronistic and collapsing frameworks for global security, development and building enduring peace do not meet the challenges facing humanity and all life on the planet in the 21st century. Diverting monetary and human resources away from developing and producing weapons and war towards efforts that benefit the common good is the linchpin for new approaches to resolving seemingly intractable problems. To achieve those goals, strong multilateral systems and structures of global governance must be enhanced and developed. Individuals and institutions all have roles to play to bring about sustainable development and enduring peace.
