Take it back... checked CBE for confirmation turns out CBE is not a Knighthood.

Other than User:Arthur Rubin, other opinions are requested for the addition of noncopyright content addition:Politics of global warming, Tragedy of the commons, sustainable management

"In the Preface, he states the book is an attempt at a middle way between the extremism of "Ostriches" (Denialism, particularly climate change denial) and "Environmental Romanticism" (for example, anti-Genetically modified organisms in Europe). The book is about sustainable management in relation with the geo-politics of global warming, with an attempt to avoid a global Tragedy of the commons, with prime example of overfishing. In it he builds upon a legacy of Economic thought built the psychology of greed and fear, from early Utilitarianism (Jeremy Bentham) to more recently the Stern Review." As User:Arthur Rubin has a history of delete-ism bureaucratic tactics, requesting opinions other than his and his enlisted "partners-in-crime" regarding the addition of non-copyright content, or other article improvements. 99.54.140.39 (talk) 22:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This section has abnormal capitalization, clear overlinking, and requires a source. If from the book, it requires copyright clearance (and removal of Wikilinks—we don't wikilink in quotes.) If not from the book, it still requires a source (and probably copyright clearance.)

I welcome other comments. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:32, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His 2009 book, Wars, Guns, and Votes, controversially called on Western countries to condone foreign military coups in response to sham elections, while suppressing rebellions against politicians elected fairly. Thus, according to Collier, the international community could at least delegitimize -- and perhaps even help topple -- the world's most corrupt and anti-democratic leaders. Then came 2011, and a string of the dictators Collier had long been railing against finally bit the dust. Not only was the international community following Collier's advice and hardening against corrupt leaders, but, as he wrote for Foreign Policy, the "bottom-up force of information technology" and the pressures of foreign influence have been "an excruciating squeeze even on the world's seemingly most secure incumbents of power."
