Author: Robert A. PastorPublisher: The Perseus Books GroupCategory: 20th Century History: C 1900 To C 2000, Political Structure & Processes, International Relations, International Economics, International EconomicsAge Group: 15+Book Format: PaperbackWill the world of the twenty-first century be dominated by global companies, ethnic strife, or rogue tyrants? This definitive volume argues convincingly that the answer depends on the actions of the worlds great powers, which will continue to set the rules affecting globalization, culture, and pariah regimes. In A Centurys Journey, seven influential scholars trace the global strategies of the worlds most powerful countries during the past 100 years. Through authoritative chapters on each great power, readers will learn how these countries redefined their interests in response to momentous changes and reshaped the world so that it bears only slight resemblance to the world of 1900. The scholars and their areas of expertise are Professors Robert A. Pastor (United States), Stanley Hoffman of Harvard University (France), Josef Joffe, Editor of Suddeutsche Zeitung (Germany), Robert Legvold of Columbia University (Soviet Union/Russia), Robert J. Lieber of Georgetown University (Great Britain), Michael Oksenberg of Stanford University (China), and Kenneth Pyle of the University of Washington (Japan).
