• The Global Site. Gateway to world politics. Editor: Martin Shaw (University of Sussex). Much of this site is concerned with the violence of war and genocide that continues to be central to world politics. 'Global' approaches to politics are often seen as neglecting these unpleasant realities. The global approach developed here is, in contrast, a response to them. It supports the development of a globalist politics, in which common values are developed and global responsibility is extended. It supports the struggles of those, chiefly but not only in the non-Western world, who uphold these values, often in the face of authoritarian or even genocidal state power: http://www.theglobalsite.ac.uk/
