Description

We may be at an historic turning point. We live in a dangerous world, it is true-but it is also a world filled with opportunity. Democracy is spreading in Latin America and perhaps in Asia and Africa. The political polarization of the world has receded. Once again, the human race may be on the verge of a quantum jump, and the U.S. has an historic opportunity to lead the world into a new, even more advanced, global civilization. That is why the crafting of our foreign policy is so important. And this book outlines the problems-and their solutions-of that policy. It will be of vital interest to students and policy makers.
