Each chapter follows a five-point plan: introduction; perspectives (historical, legal and theoretical underpinnings of topic discussed); issues (principle points of controversy); new horizons (possible actions for coping with the problems and their complexities); epilogue (summaries and concluding comments). The overall format helps the reader to build bridges from the past through the present to the future and from concept through theory to application. |
