The book then outlines the strategic implications for civil society both locally and globally, and explains that its key task is to inaugurate "threefolding:" the forging, where appropriate, of strategic partnerships between civil society, government, and business. Such authentic tri-sector partnerships are essential for advancing new ways for nations to develop, and for charting a different, sustainable kind of globalization. Using the model of The Philippine Agenda 21, the book shows how civil society and pro-gressive individuals and agencies in government and business are demonstrating the effectiveness of this new understanding to ensure that globalization benefits the poor, societies, and nature.-- Book description. 4aCivil society. 4aGlobalization.1 aRay, Paul H.1 aWeizsacker, Ernst U. von q(Ernst Ulrich), d1939-2 aCenter for Alternative Development Initiatives (Philippines)2 aGlobal Network for Social Threefolding.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oJC337 .P47 2000pPNLIB21063054r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c3241d3241
