Description:
"In A Century's Journey, Robert A. Pastor and six other preeminent foreign policy scholars argue that the key to understanding the world's future lies in how the great powers shaped the twentieth century - from a world of conquest and exclusive spheres-of-influence to one of pluralism, market-driven openness and international institutions. In contrast to some proponents of concepts like globalization, "the clash of civilizations" and "democratic peace," the authors believe that nation-states remain the decisive actors on the international stage."--BOOK JACKET. "A Century's Journey is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand today's complex web of global power."--BOOK JACKET.
