Description

From the changes wrought and suggested by President Mikhail Gorbachev in the Soviet Union, to progress in arms control and peace agreements among warring nations, to Western Europe's increasing economic unity, the world is changing before our eyes. A "window of opportunity" for the better fulfillment of U.S. national and international goals is gradually opening. How prepared is the United States to face this rapidly transforming world? Are the policies of the postwar 1940s adequate for the 1990s, or do we need to set for ourselves new international objectives and new strategies to carry them out? Is a new U.S. international agenda in order? Are our federal government, especially our foreign service and our military establishment, our private sector and our educational systemógeared to meet the requirements of the coming decade? This, the 16th volume in the Miller Center's Rhetoric and Reality series, explores these questions and more dealing with questions of international policy. Co-published with the Miller Center of Public Affairs.
