Author Description

From Library Journal Designed for a general audience, this is a lively, interesting collection of 16 essays about the major challenges facing American foreign policy. While 12 of the essays examine specific regional and topical issues, four longer articles evaluate the historical changes that will have lasting significance. The most provocative essay, Susan Strange's "The Name of the Game," argues that "a global business civilization had emerged, a new international economic order, in which authority is far more dispersed, less precisely defined, but not totally absent." Recommended for foreign policy collections.- Robert H. Puckett, Indiana State Univ., Terre HauteCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
