"The Hunger Report: 1993" is the fifth in a series by the Brown University World Hunger Program. Drawing on numerous reports of hunger researchers, monitors, and policy makers, it classifies and clarifies their diverse data within a single typology of hunger caused by food shortage, food poverty, and food deprivation. Policy makers, academicians, and practitioners concerned with hunger and development will find this book an invaluable resource. In the year 1993, hunger was definitely on the international development agenda. The world has witnessed with mounting concern the needless persistence of hunger and, along with it, a proliferation of often-conflicting supporting data, a multiplication of often-conflicting institutional efforts, an escalation in political rhetoric, and an overall increase in media and public attention.

"Seiing the Future is a brilliant andexuberant antidote to the pessi-mistic poison being peddled by fashionable declinists."--Ronald Bailey, author of ECO-SCAM "[A thoughtful argument of how the next generationwill focus on massive industrialiation, rather than create strictly an information-basedeconomy." --Teresa McUsic, Morning Star-Telegram"Marked by verve, vision, and a thorough familiarity with the field, this book buoysthe spirit, challenges conventional thinking, and arms the reader as do few comparable works infuturistics. Engagingly written, and free of both jargon and pretentiousness, it sets a highstandard for twenty-first-century explorations." --Arthur B. Shostak

First Published in 1993, this is part of the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva series.This study which looks at whether scholars of international politics attempt to understand cooperative behavior in the light of the theories developed by the observers of both conflict and of cooperation. This volume expands the short list of such works and does so with insight, a wide range of scholarship and a willingness to test particular cases against existing theory. The author has written a book which expands the knowledge of, but also a thoughtful improvement of existing theoretical approaches. Uvin's universe of enquiry excludes military power and its application. It concentrates on the long-term, complex organization of cooperative transnational behavior and its rationale. Its focusses on functional issues involving world hunger, a haunting background and result, and perhaps even one cause, of the dreadful violence that characterizes our world even as the threat of catastrophic nuclear warfare has declined.
