5.0 out of 5 stars Peoples and Proximities, August 25, 2003
By Paul B. Hartzog (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Its rare to find a book of this caliber. Not only does it thoroughly analyze the politics of the future, but it also offers a typology of how individuals assess and confront political change in their world.

Fragmegration, the tension between integration and fragmentation in the world order, plays a central role in the book, constantly weaving its way through the various analyses.

The last section of the book, concerns information politics, the skill revolution, and how today's economic and technological changes are affecting politics and those who must contend with the uncertainties in the evolving political "mobius web."

This book is on my book list here on Amazon.com:
"Panarchy: Relational Politics in the Information Future"
