As globalization presents statesmen, businessmen, and ordinary citizen alike with a bewildering array of complex interdependence, there is a need for a clear, forthright description and analysis of contemporary international currents. Donald M. Snow and Eugene Brown, in their fourth book together, have succeeded wonderfully well in providing the single best book to do just that. This volume can be profitably read by students, ordinary citizens, journalists, cholars, policymakers, anyone-- in short-- seeking a strikingly clear and level-headed guide through the intricacies of the contemporary global scene.

VERY highly recommended.

What a superb book about interesting subjects. If you want to do global business then you should read how these areas will and can impact upon your business and life. At the same time, if you are looking for a place to start to read how foreign policy is developed, this is the book.
