Paradox of a Global USA

" Globalization is, in itself, neither a positive nor a negative phenomenon; it is a reality, a defining aspect of the modern condition. . . . Therefore, what is at issue is not whether we should support or oppose globalization but how we should respond to it as a reality, how we manage it and its consequences. It is that spirit that led Bruce Mazlish, one of the giants of intellectual and cultural history, and his fellow contributors to assemble this volume. They have provided a considerable-- and timely-- service in helping to integrate a field of academic inquiry that has tended to be balkanized. . . . The result is a disciplined yet imaginative volume relevant to scholars, policy makers, and interested citizens of an increasingly globalized world." -- From the Preface by Strobe Talbott, President of the Brookings Institution and Founding Director of the Yale Center for the Study of GlobalizationMazlish, Bruce is the author of 'Paradox of a Global USA ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780804751551 and ISBN 0804751552.
