Publisher's Notes
America in the 21st Century begins with a comprehensive introductory chapter that reviews the major political, social, and economic changes at the international level from the mid-1970s to the present. The chapters that follow focus on the post-Cold War era and look ahead to the 21st century, placing particular emphasis on the development of the global economy and post-Cold War political changes. Selected readings include discussions of contemporary issues such as economic liberalization, nationalism, religious extremism, terrorism, nuclear weapons proliferation, regional conflicts, European unification, political disintegration and formation of new states, democratization, and the transition of capitalism. Authors Rai, Walsh, and Best have put together a text that is truly accessible to undergraduate students - with clearly defined terms and historical introductions to each region.

Ghost Wars

Provides a comprehensive overview of the CIA's and other covert agencies' operations in Afghanistan, from the Soviet invasion in 1979 through the summer of 2001, detailing the rise of the Taliban and bin Laden, the secret efforts of the CIA to capture or kill bin Laden since 1998, and their failure to stop bin Laden, al Qaeda, and the events of September 11th.
America Unbound
by Ivo H. Daalder
Two Clinton-era National Security Council staffers offer muted criticism of George W. Bush's foreign policy from a realist perspective. September 11th is identified as the reason for Congressional deference to Bush's "revolutionary" tangent as Bush proceeded to wage war on Afghanistan and Iraq, unleash the CIA from previous legal constraints, and generally pursue a "hegemonist" worldview in foreign affairs. Not unexpectedly, they would prefer the multilateral approach towards exercising American power that has largely prevailed over the past five decades.
