"This valuable collection of documents reflects three major
trends in scholarly work on U.S. foreign relations today: the
stress on sub-state level activities, cultural themes, and the
global setting. The documents contain examples in all three areas
and enable the reader to come to a deeper understanding of the
nation's engagement with the world."
