ReviewsGarcia's book takes the reader into a new understanding of the troubling tensions between cultures, peoples, and the institutions and organizations we have created, some of which no longer serve us well. Along with the advanced understanding of the root causes of these tensions come new perspectives and tools. Garcia develops these with a strong alliance of creative imagination and extensive practical experience in international and cross-cultural affairs. Garcia has a history of creating the collaborations and alliances that are already at work in the new ways he describes so effectively. The concepts are challenging, much needed, and also practical and essential if we are to move beyond current paradigms that trap us in old solutions. I commend this to anyone who considers this question: How will 8 or 9 billion people not only coexist, but mutually thrive and prosper'., Garcia's insights into the origins of much of modern-day social violence drew me in, especially in the context of recent events within the U.S. and beyond. But it was his clear and passionate call for a new "cooperative paradigm" that kept me diving deeper into this important book. We need more solutions and this book delivers--with visionary yet quite specific ideas about how our 'differences' can become the sustainable building blocks of our shared future., Garcia's insights into the origins of much of modern-day social violence drew me in, especially in the context of recent events within the U.S. and beyond.

SynopsisThis book recommends balance between cooperation and competition in intercultural/international relations, with more emphasis on the former. To make this possible, it describes a paradigm shift and demonstrates why it is logical and how it can be attained--thus going beyond traditional legal and moral compliance. Compliance has been insufficient because morality has been significantly dismissed as a "soft value," and civil rights laws have been circumvented and frequently ineffective. Book proposes that revolutionary changes caused by globalization require an equivalent paradigm. Interdependence inherent to globalization will not function if winning-is-the-only-thing mindset continues to prevail in U.S. and the West. Cultural Complementarity is validated through respected principles and practices in quantum physics, education, business and economics. End chapters focus on national and international applications of paradigm. Appendices have data and suggested programs to test and implement the theory., This bookrecommends balance between cooperation and competition in intercultural/international relations, with more emphasis on the former.
