Il mondo è di fronte ad un’emergenza epocale: il pianeta è malato e per salvarlo non c’è un attimo da perdere. La transizione è un passaggio obbligato, un passaggio che comporta la piena consapevolezza di cambiare i modelli energetici, produttivi, comportamentali al di là delle convenienze particolari. Solo con uno sforzo comune da parte dei leader mondiali è possibile riuscirci. E’ l’appello che sale dall’incontro “La transizione ambientale inevitabile ma dirompente”. Il messaggio nelle voci di Andrea Illy, presidente di illycaffè, e chair della Regenerative Society Foundation, e di Jeffrey D. Sachs, professore di economia, leader di riferimento mondiale per lo sviluppo sostenibile.

Much of the world's population lives in countries in which little research happens. Is this a problem? According to classical economic models of the “ideas production function,” ideas are universal; ideas developed in one place are applicable everywhere. This is probably true enough for some contexts; but not all. In this post we'll look at four domains - agriculture, health, the behavioral sciences, and program evaluation research - where new discoveries do not seem to have universal application across all geographies.This podcast is an audio read through of the (initial version of the) article "When research over there isn't helpful here," originally published on New Things Under the Sun.Articles mentionedComin, Diego, and Marti Mestieri. 2014.

"Die Meinung ist, offen heraus gesagt, dass eine NATO-Erweiterung der verhängnisvollste Fehler der amerikanischen Politik … seit dem Kalten Krieg wäre", sagte der US-Diplomat George F. Kennan bereits im Jahr 1997 in der New York Times. Er war nicht der einzige Warner. Auch andere NATO-Aktivitäten, wie etwa deren Manöver an der russischen Grenze und die Pläne für eine Reform der NATO mit dem Ziel, die Ukraine aufzunehmen waren vielfach kritisiert worden. "Der Krieg in der Ukraine wurde provoziert", meint auch der US_amerikanische Ökonom Jeffrey David Sachs im Mai diesen Jahres.

A new study of more than 500,000 Chinese adults over seven years finds that participants who ate foods flavored with chili peppers every day reduced their risk of premature dying by 14 percent, as compared to people who ate chili peppers less than once a week. “Even among those who consumed spicy foods less frequently [one to two days a week], the beneficial effects could be observed,” says Lu Qi, professor of epidemiology at Tulane University. “Indeed, moderate increase of spicy foods would benefit.” While his study, published in the BMJ, doesn't address other foods, earlier research has indicated that horseradish, black pepper, garlic, and ginger may offer similar benefits.”There also is preliminary data from other studies showing such potential,” Qi says. Capsaicin in chili peppers may be what protects health, Qi says. It reduces risk of obesity, offers antibacterial properties, and helps protect against diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other conditions. Chili peppers also improve inflammation and reduce blood pressure and oxidative stress. Omega-3 may be helpful for attention, impulse control in adolescents University Pompeu Fabra (Spain), October 3 2022. Research findings reported in European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry revealed that higher blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) were respectively associated with better test scores for attention and impulsiveness among adolescent boys and girls compared with adolescents who had lower levels. “Polyunsaturated fatty acids are critical for brain development and function, and their deficiency may have long-term functional consequences” authors Ariadna Pinar-Marti and colleagues explained. “Despite the established importance of DHA in brain development, few studies have evaluated whether it plays a role in the attention performance of healthy adolescents,” commented study coordinator Jordi Júlvez, PhD. “In addition, the possible role of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), another omega-3 but of plant origin, has not been as extensively studied.” In comparison with adolescents whose DHA levels were among the lowest one-third of participants, those whose levels were among the top third showed better attention performance as indicated by scores for reaction time and conflict response. Higher ALA levels were associated with less impulsivity. “The role of ALA in attention control is still unclear, but this finding may be clinically relevant, as impulsivity is a feature of several psychiatric conditions, such as ADHD,” Dr Pinar-Martí noted. Weighted blankets found to increase melatonin Uppsala University (Sweden), October 3, 2022 A new study from Uppsala University shows that using a weighted blanket at bedtime increases melatonin in young adults. This hormone increases in response to darkness, and some evidence suggests that it promotes sleep. The findings are published in the Journal of Sleep Research. Previous research has shown that weighted blankets may ease insomnia in humans. Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden experimented with 26 young men and women to examine if the bedtime use of a weighted blanket increases the production of sleep-promoting and anti-stress hormones like melatonin and oxytocin. In addition, they investigated whether the bedtime use of a weighted blanket (12% of participants' body weight) reduced the activity of stress systems in the body. To this end, saliva was collected repeatedly from participants while they were covered with either a weighted or a light blanket to measure melatonin, oxytocin, cortisol, and the activity of the fight and flight sympathetic nervous system. “Using a weighted blanket increased melatonin concentrations in saliva by about 30%. However, no differences in oxytocin, cortisol, and the activity of the sympathetic nervous system were observed between the weighted and light blanket conditions,” says Elisa Meth, first author and Ph.D. student at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences at Uppsala University. “Our study may offer a mechanism explaining why weighted blankets may exert some therapeutic benefits, such as improved sleep. However, our findings rely on a small sample and investigated only the acute effects of a weighted blanket. Thus, larger trials are needed, including an investigation of whether the observed effects of a weighted blanket on melatonin are sustained over longer periods,” says senior author Christian Benedict, Associate Professor of Pharmacology at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences at Uppsala University. Clinical Trial: Vegetable Extract may Treat Autism Better than Drugs Harvard Medical School, September 30, 2022 A recent clinical trial has shown that one vegetable extract may have astounding positive effects on those with autism – broccoli extract. Along with an extensive Autism Spectrum Disease research database at GMI, there is evidence suggesting that broccoli extract (along with avoiding heavy metals, minimizing glyphosate exposure, and eradicating the diet of gluten) shows promise in improving ASD. The active ingredient in broccoli that seems to help is called sulforaphane, a molecule found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. A groundbreaking study published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA titled, “Sulforaphane treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD),” found that a broccoli sprout extract significantly improved the behavior of boys and men (those who most often suffer from autism). Sulforaphane was selected, in part, because its physiological effects are well characterized and ideal for those with ASD: “Dietary sulforaphane, of recognized low toxicity, was selected for its capacity to reverse abnormalities that have been associated with ASD, including oxidative stress and lower antioxidant capacity, depressed glutathione synthesis, reduced mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation, increased lipid peroxidation, and neuroinflammmation.” The placebo-controlled, randomized pilot study of 44 males, ages 13-27, showed that after 18 weeks of treatment with a sulforaphane-rich broccoli sprout extract, 46% had noticeable improvements in social interactions and 42% has improvements in verbal communication. More than half of all participants also showed a decrease in irritability, hyperactivity, and repetitive movements. Of note, once treatment with broccoli extract stopped, most of the behaviors associated with autism returned. The dosing schedule was determined by body weight: · 100 lbs or less: one capsule containing 50 µmol (232 mg) of sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract was given daily · 101–199 lbs, 100 µmol (two capsules of 232 mg each) of sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract was given daily · More than 200 lbs: 150 µmol (three capsules of 232 mg each) of sulforaphane-rich broccoli extract was given daily Social media use linked to developing depression regardless of personality University of Arkansas, October 3, 2022 Researchers in public policy and education recently found that young adults who use more social media are significantly more likely to develop depression within six months, regardless of personality type. Published in the Journal of Affective Disorders Reports, the study, “Associations between social media use, personality structure, and development of depression,” was co-authored by Renae Merrill, a doctoral student in the Public Policy Program at the University of Arkansas. This new study found strong and linear associations of depression across all personality traits.” Among the study's findings was that people with high agreeableness were 49% less likely to become depressed than people with low agreeableness. Additionally, those with high neuroticism were twice as likely to develop depression than those with low neuroticism when using more than 300 minutes of social media per day. More importantly, for each personality trait, social media use was strongly associated with the development of depression. The sample of more than 1,000 U.S. adults between the ages of 18 to 30 was from data collected by Primack and his colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh. The authors suggest that problematic social comparison can enhance negative feelings of oneself and others, which could explain how risk of depression increases with increased social media use. Engaging primarily in negative content can also enhance these feelings. And lastly, engaging in more social media reduces opportunities for in-person interactions and activities outside of the home. “Findings from this study are important during a time of technology expansion and integration,” Merrill said. “Connecting to people virtually may increase the risk of miscommunication or misperception that leads to relationship difficulties and potential risk for developing mental health problems.” “People have innate emotional needs for social connection and understanding,” Merrill added. “For example, social media experiences can be improved by becoming more aware of our emotions and our connection with others in various life circumstances. This awareness helps improve relationship quality by simply reaching shared meaning and understanding through more effective communication and concern for others and ourselves. Despite our differences, we have the ability to create a culture of empathy and kindness.” Which grains you eat can impact your risk of getting heart disease earlier Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (Iran), October 3, 2022 In one of the first studies to examine the relationship between different types of grain intake and premature coronary artery disease in the Middle East, researchers found a higher intake of refined grain was associated with an increased risk of premature coronary artery disease in an Iranian population, while eating whole grains was associated with reduced risk. According to the researchers, previous epidemiological studies have reported an association between different types of grain intake with the risk of coronary artery disease. The current study evaluated the association between refined and whole grains consumption and risk of PCAD in an Iranian population. Premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) refers to atherosclerotic narrowing of coronary arteries in males under 55 years old or in females under 65 years old. It is often asymptomatic early in the course of the disease but may lead to chest pain (angina) and/or heart attack with progressive development of narrowing (stenosis) or plaque rupture of the arterial wall. Risk factors for PCAD include smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. Whole grains are defined as containing the entire grain, while refined grains have been milled—ground into flour or meal—to improve shelf life but they lose important nutrients in the process. The ACC/American Heart Association Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease recommends a diet that emphasizes the intake of vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains and fish to decrease heart disease risk factors. The study recruited 2099 individuals with PCAD from hospitals with catheterization labs in different cities and ethnicities throughout Iran who underwent coronary angiography (women aged ≤ 70 and men ≤ 60). In total, 1,168 patients with normal coronary arteries were included in the control group, while 1,369 patients with CAD with obstruction equal or above 75% in at least a single coronary artery or ≥ 50% in the left main coronary artery made up the case group. After adjusting for confounders, a higher intake of refined grains was associated with an increased risk of PCAD, while whole grain intake was inversely related to reduced risk of PCAD.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2021, the dystopia of a large-scale war in continental European war became reality, forcing over 10 million people to flee their country so far. This major crisis has imposed various new geopolitical challenges on our global political level-playing field, which requires a new age of global diplomacy. US Economist Jeffrey D. Sachs has called this war the latest neocon disaster, referring to the involvement of the United States in this crisis. In our latest episode, we discussed this claim while at the same time discussing further economic as well as ecological implications of the ongoing war. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/onpoint-podcast/message

“If we're badly educated, we're not going to make it on this planet. If I had to put my finger on one Sustainable Development Goal above all else, it is let's empower young people so that they know the future. They know the world that they're going to be leading soon. They can do something about it…Specifically, target 4.7 which says that everybody should learn about sustainable development.

ABD'nin Afganistan Fiyaskosu'nun 'Amerikan İmparatorluğu'nun sonunu işaret ettiğine dair tartışmalardan zaman zaman bahsediyorum. Ana fikir, ABD'nin yıkıcı bir güç olduğu, ancak kalıcı bir düzen inşa edemediğiydi. Bir diğer gerçekse ABD'nin “sonsuz savaşları”nın sıradan Amerikalıların gündelik hayatlarının daha da zorlaştırdığı, buna karşın “Askeri-Endüstriyel Kompleks” olarak nitelenen büyük silah şirketlerinin kasalarının dolmaya devam etmesiydi. Afganistan fiyaskosu, Amerikan müdahaleciliğinin kalıcı düzen oluşturamamasında bir istisna değil. 1950'lerdeki Kore Savaşından bu yana önce burnunu, ardından postallarını soktuğu her ülkede ABD ilân ettiği hedeflerin tam tersi sonuçlara ulaştı. Amerikalı ekonomi profesörü Jeffrey D. Sachs, Almanca “Blaetter” dergisinin Eylül sayısında “Afganistan: Kanlı Yanlış Yol “ başlıklı yazısında Amerikan müdahalelerinin neden fiyaskoyla sonuçlandığını analiz ediyordu. “Columbia Üniversitesi”nde “Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Merkezi”nin Direktörlüğü yapan Prof. Sachs'a göre ABD'nin Afganistan'daki başarısızlığının ölçeği şaşırtıcıydı. Başarısızlığın Amerikan siyaset kültürünün bir sonucu olduğuna dikkat çeken Prof. Sachs'a göre bu kültür diğer toplumları anlamaya yönelik ilgisizliğinde kendini gösteriyordu. Prof. Sachs, Çinhindi, Vietnam, Laos, Kamboçya, Latin Amerika, Ortadoğu ve Afrika'daki ABD müdahalelerin fiyaskoyla sonuçlandığının kanıtlandığını vurguluyordu. Latin Amerika ve Afrika'da CIA darbeleriyle kurulan askeri rejimler ülke halkları için feci sonuçlar doğurmuştu. Keza ABD'nin “vekalet savaşları” da harap ediciydi. Bu ülkelerin kendilerini toparlayabilmeleri için onlarca yıl gerekmişti. Birçoğu da hâlâ bu müdahalelerin sonuçlarıyla boğuşmaya devam ediyordu. Prof. Sach'a göre bütün bu vakalar sadece “siyasi başarısızlık” değil, yanı sıra ABD dış politika elitlerinin sorunların çözümü için askerî müdahaleye veya “CIA” destekli istikrarsızlaştırmaya duydukları inançla da ilgiliydi. Amerikan müdahalelerinin çoğuysa ciddi ekonomik zorlukla boğuşan ülkelerde gerçekleşmişti. Bu müdahaleler mevcut durumunu daha kötüleştirmişti. Ülkelerin ekonomik alt yapıları çökerken, eğitimli profesyonellerse ülke dışına çıkmıştılar.

Should we be worried? Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs drops by- will Covid-19 reverse globalisation? and toxics program advocate with U.S. PIRG Danielle Melgar is on the show. Why are we ignoring rocket fuel in drinking water?? Tune in!

Today's most urgent problems, from food security to global warming, are fundamentally global. They require nothing less than concerted, planet-wide action if we are to secure a long-term future. But humanity's story has always been on a global scale. In his new book The Ages of Globalization, Jeffrey D. Sachs, renowned economist and expert on sustainable development, turns to world history to shed light on how we can meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. Sachs will take us through a series of seven distinct waves of technological and institutional change, from the original settling of the planet by early modern humans to today's globalization. The dynamics of these past waves offer a fresh perspective on the ongoing processes taking place in our own time. Sachs emphasizes the need for new methods of international governance and cooperation to prevent conflicts and to achieve economic, social and environmental objectives aligned with sustainable development.

Ist die Menschheit auf dem richtigen, oder wenigstens auf einem guten Weg? Wird alles im wesentlichen immer besser? Oder das Gegenteil: sind wir gerade dabei uns systematisch zu zerstören?   Diese Frage schließt einerseits unmittelbar an unsere Episode über Fakten, Daten und Wissenschaft an. Eigentlich sollte sie also einfach zu beantworten sein. Es stellt sich heraus: es ist alles gar nicht so einfach und es gibt lautstarke unterschiedlichen Lager.   Wir werden erkennen, dass, selbst wenn alle Seiten in einer Diskussion sich tatsächlich auf Fakten berufen, der Schluss, der daraus gezogen werden kann, in vielen Fällen alles andere als trivial ist.   »Keine Lüge, die etwas auf sich hält, enthält Unwahres. Was letztlich präpariert wird, ist vielmehr das Weltbild als Ganzes […] Dieses Ganze ist dann weniger wahr, als die Summe der Wahrheiten seiner Teile […] Die Aufgabe derer, die uns das Weltbild liefern, besteht also darin, aus vielen Wahrheiten ein Ganzes für uns zusammenzulügen.«, Günther Anders Lassen wir den Begriff der »Lüge« weg und transformieren wir das Zitat zu: selbst wenn alle Fakten in einer Argumentationskette korrekt sind, kann die Summe, das Ganze irreführend oder gar falsch sein. Und dies muss nicht notwendigerweise aus bösem Willen geschehen.   Die Frage, die wir an den Anfang gestellt haben, hat aber eine zweite wichtige Komponente: Narrative.   »Menschen sind die Produkte der Geschichten, die sie über sich selbst erzählen, die ihre Gemeinschaft über sich erzählt. Fakten spielen dabei höchstens eine untergeordnete Rolle.«, Philipp Blom   »Bewegungen, welche die Welt zu verändern suchen, beginnen oft damit, dass sie die Geschichte umschreiben und die Menschen damit in die Lage versetzen, sich die Zukunft neu auszumalen.«, Yuval Noah Harari Ich denke nicht, dass Fakten in der öffentlichen Diskussion nutzlos oder wirkungslos sind, sie haben nur nicht die Wirkung, wie es sich manche wünschen würden – und das durchaus auch aus guten Gründen, wie wir sehen werden.   Es ist daher von großer Bedeutung für gesellschaftlich zentrale Fragen nicht nur die Daten und Fakten kritisch zu hinterfragen, sondern dann auch deren Interpretation und Deutung konstruktiv zu diskutieren. Allzu leicht fällt man hier in zu einfache ideologische Raster.   In den beiden Teilen dieser Episode werden wir uns etwas genauer mit den Argumenten »beider Seiten« auseinandersetzen. Denn es erscheint mir wichtig, diesen intellektuellen Konflikt einmal durchzuspielen, da wir einige Prinzipien typischer Probleme des 21.

(Komplexität ist nicht dasselbe wie Kompliziertheit – was ist der Unterschied?) Die Kernfrage der nächsten Jahrzehnte wird also wahrscheinlich lauten: Wie können wir die wesentlichen ökologischen wie gesellschaftlichen Systeme gesund halten wesentlich mehr Resilienz ins System bringen und dabei die Fortschritte, die die Menschheit unbestritten erreicht hat nicht zu einem Einsturz bringen.

Fórum Mundial de Café alerta sobre impacto de mudanças climáticas e sugere fundo global de investimento Evento com foco em produtores pelo mundo reuniu cerca de 1,5 mil participantes de 30 países em Campinas (SP). Economista e professor da Universidade de Columbia divulgou estudo sobre desenvolvimento sustentável e destacou situação de risco para países produtores de café. A diversidade na produção de café pelo mundo está ameaçada pelo aquecimento global. O alerta foi feito durante o 2º Fórum Mundial de Produtores de Café realizado em Campinas (SP). Economista e professor da Universidade de Columbia (EUA), Jeffrey D. Sachs divulgou, nesta quarta-feira (10), estudo sobre o panorama mundial do setor e ressaltou o risco de extinção de áreas de plantio devido ao aumento nas temperaturas. Sachs se surpreendeu ao ver que o Brasil e o Vietnã são responsáveis por aproximadamente 50% da produção mundial de café, enquanto outros países produtores sofrem com a falta de pesquisas, estrutura e políticas sociais. Por terem menos acesso à informação e investimentos, são os mais vulneráveis diante de cenários de crise e mudanças climáticas. E estão mais distantes de um desenvolvimento sustentável, que contribua para a redução de problemas ambientais causados, por exemplo, pela poluição química. "As regiões produtoras estão passando por significativo aumento das temperaturas, 0,2ºC por década. Nos últimos dez anos, 0,3ºC. Estamos colocando tanto dióxido de carbono que estamos acelerando o processo. Áreas não conseguirão mais produzir café com aumento de 2ºC. Muitos países vão sair da região produtora", alerta. Neste cenário futuro, o Brasil, o Vietnã e todos os demais países perdem com o aumento do custo para produzir em tais condições. "O Brasil está extremamente vulnerável ao aquecimento global porque é uma das potências agrícolas mais importante do mundo", afirma. E os mais "fracos" tendem a perder produtividade. Para "salvar" esses países - e com eles uma variedade abundante de tipos de café - o economista conclui que a criação de um fundo global de café possa ser a saída para aumentar a produtividade mundo afora e garantir pressão política no combate ao aquecimento da temperatura, que já atinge os agronegócios em âmbito internacional. "O setor do café tem desafios gigantes para atingir o desenvolvimento sustentável. Existe uma falta de acesso a serviços sociais básicos, crianças não estão na escola, o cuidado com saúde não é adequado, e estão sentindo as consequências das mudanças climáticas. O quebra-cabeças é como levar recursos às regiões produtoras de café, especialmente as de baixa renda", explica. "O setor vai passar por um efeito negativo diante das mudanças climáticas globais. Países precisam ter voz para protestar contra quem não está fazendo a sua parte", completa Sachs. O economista atua como diretor do Centro de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Instituto de la Tierra da Universidade de Columbia e por cerca de 30 anos trabalhou angariando dinheiro para fundos em diversas áreas, inclusive como consultor da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU).

Marc Mondor has been a licensed architect for over a decade and has been an influential voice in sustainability since the early 1990's. As Managing Principal and Cofounder of evolveEA, Marc works with greening design and construction projects in order to leverage organizational and operational sustainability.  His consulting work has led to many notable and innovative firsts, including the first LEED certified project in Africa, the oldest LEED EB certified project (1869) and the first LEED certified supermarket.   Marc Mondor - Commitment & Contributions In 2015, Marc was selected as a LEED Fellow for his service, commitment and contributions to the green building and sustainability field. Marc has lectured nationally, is one of several dozen international professionals to be named US Green Building Council LEED Faculty and is a trained facilitator. Prior to co-founding evolveEA, Marc was Project Manager for the Pittsburgh Green Building Alliance, where he consulted for organizations, managed the Green Building Fund and helped chair the USGBC Greenbuild Conference.  Marc received his Bachelor's of Architecture from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo and studied sustainable design in Scandinavia and Denmark and this is what kindled his interest. He is a Registered Architect and a LEED O+M BD+C and ID+C Accredited Professional.   "There was really no name for the type of work that we wanted to do back then." – Marc Mondor   Studying Abroad and Mentors Marc studied in France, Scandinavia and Denmark.  This opportunity did spark his interest in sustainable design.  Marc had several mentors along his journey. Bill Browning was one of the mentors later in his studies that provided much needed validation to ensure this was the career for him. “You look far beyond the components of the building, you are looking at all the systems that impact the building.” – Marc Mondor   Projects with Impact Marc notes that the work done on supermarkets is one of the projects he feels is making an impact still today.  Additionally, they did a project in Egypt for HSBC which was a global concern and they were mandated to do a LEED project without being fully aware of what it was.  Ended up with the Regional Headquarters and was the first LEED project in Africa. “We had to create a lot of communications graphics for them in regards to what LEED is and why should they care about this rating system that is from the United States.” – Marc Mondor   Around the Corner, Routines & Favorite Books Marc believes technology is going to cause massive efficiency at all levels in the future.  This will allow people to be engaged and contribute in a way they haven't been able to before with sustainability.  Marc and his partner try to empower their employees and personally works out to keep a balance. He would like to begin writing books in the next decade.   “90% of being successful is showing up.” – Marc Mondor   Marc suggests the following books: Commonwealth by Jeffrey D. Sachs Behavioral Economic books by Dr. Dan Ariely Biographies:  Steve Jobs and Leonardo Divinchi by Walter Isaacson The Agony and the Ecstasy: A Biographical Novel of Michelangelo by Irving Stone   To hear more about Marc's journey, download and listen to the episode!   Learn more about Marc Mondor: LinkedIn   Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES: Charlie on LinkedIn Green Building Educational Services GBES on Twitter Connect on LinkedIn Like on Facebook Google+ GBES Pinterest Pins GBES on Instagram   If you truly enjoyed the show, don't forget to leave a positive rating and review on iTunes.  We have prepared more episodes for the upcoming weeks, so come by again next week!

If you are tired of reading the same, Washington-based, consensus, 'realist' and or 'neo-conservative', critiques of American foreign policy, here is something to salivate on: Jeffrey D. Sachs', A New Foreign Policy: Beyond American Exceptionalism (Columbia University Press, 2018). By turns, noted author Jeffrey Sachs' book is unorthodox, iconoclastic, novel and indeed at times eccentric. A New Foreign Policy provides a road map for a U.S. foreign policy that embraces globalism, cooperation, international law, and aspirations for worldwide prosperity---not nationalism and illusory dreams of empty and past glory. You may not agree with him, indeed you may believe that he is completely wrong and his facts do not add up. Regardless, Sachs' book is the one that foreign policy experts will be discussing this Fall. Charles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph. D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.

If you are tired of reading the same, Washington-based, consensus, ‘realist’ and or ‘neo-conservative’, critiques of American foreign policy, here is something to salivate on: Jeffrey D. Sachs’, A New Foreign Policy: Beyond American Exceptionalism (Columbia University Press, 2018). By turns, noted author Jeffrey Sachs’ book is unorthodox, iconoclastic, novel and indeed at times eccentric. A New Foreign Policy provides a road map for a U.S. foreign policy that embraces globalism, cooperation, international law, and aspirations for worldwide prosperity—not nationalism and illusory dreams of empty and past glory. You may not agree with him, indeed you may  believe that he is completely wrong and his facts do not add up. Regardless, Sachs’ book is the one that foreign policy experts will be discussing this Fall. Charles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University. Where he studied with Tony Judt, Stewart Stehlin and McGeorge Bundy. His Ph. D. dissertation was on Anglo-American relations in the run-up to the Suez Crisis of 1956. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history.
