The world is flailing in the face of successive threats to its peace and security. It is beleaguered by a set of recurring and intensifying crises. Terrorist networks, weapons of mass destruction, religious intolerance and hatred, roving militias and insurgents, organized crime, trafficking in women and children paralyse us. We are neither able nor willing to tackle these crises effectively and efficiently. We have lost confidence in our international institutions and national governments to respond adequately. What can we do?

The world cries out for new thinking and creativity. Sovaida Ma`ani Ewing answers that effective, just and comprehensive collective security are within the world's grasp. Past efforts and innovative thinking have shown some promise but have been ineffective on their own. Ms Ma`ani Ewing shows how they fit as isolated pieces within a larger jigsaw puzzle of the as yet little explored principles of the Bahá'í Faith. These principles suggest ways to improve past efforts and new directions for future exploration. Building on them, she offers concrete, practical and high impact recommendations for action by the international community to build a system of collective security that will ensure the peace of the world.
