Summary:
This incisive study of the evolving world order argues that seven
countries have changed the world during the twentieth century and
predicts their continued centrality in the twenty-first. Will the
world of the twenty-first century be dominated by global companies,
ethnic strife, or rogue tyrants with weapons of mass destruction?
This definitive volume argues convincingly that the answer depends on
the actions of the world's great powers, who will continue to set the
rules affecting globalization, culture, and pariah regimes. Will 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 world's
great powers, which will continue to set the rules affecting
globalization, culture, and pariah regimes. In A Century's Journey,
seven influential scholars trace the global strategies of the world's
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).
