Synopsis
At first glance a study on cities and foreign policy may seem a bold leap into the future of international relations, but it represents, rather, a giant step into the present--into what is already taking place across this country and around the world. Cities have become actors in international affairs; and American cities have not only been players on the world scene but have been deeply transformed on the process as well. Over the last four years, the Council on Foreign Relations has been studying new actors in international affairs: business, nongovernmental organizations (particularly on such issues as the environment, human rights, and humanitarian relief and aid), and certain regions and localities that now orient their foreign policy or actions somewhat independently from that of their central governments. Of these new global actors, cities have drawn the least attention within policymaking circles and among the public.

- c***c (162)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseIncredible seller! I’m a repeat customer because the quality is always as described, if not better than expected. Magazines were in such good shape it was like going back to a newsstand in the early 2000s and purchasing them, albeit somewhat pricier, which is to be expected for magazines in such excellent condition twenty five years later. Shipping is always timely, and packaging is incredibly thorough.1999 December JANE Magazine. PAMELA ANDERSON Naked In So Many Ways. LkNew Inside (#195989388489)
