Masters of Illusion: American Leadership in the Media Age
by Steven Rosefielde & D. Quinn Mills
(Cambridge University Press)
Professor Mills and his coauthor assert that the United States will confront a series of fundamental challenges posed by terrorism, Russia, China, and the European Union through the mid-21st century. Western leaders, they argue, acknowledge the first three perils but are crafting unduly soft policies to deal with them. America requires a new security concept, “strategic indepen-dence,” to keep the peace in dangerous times and to foster new leaders.
Making Foreign Investments Safe: Property Rights and National Sovereignty
by Louis T. Wells and Rafiq Ahmed
(Oxford University Press)
In the 1990s, firms from rich countries invested in projects in the developing world, but soon disputes arose. As projects soured, some investors came close to bankruptcy; others fled the countries. Professor Wells and Ahmed show why these disputes developed, how investments and disputes have changed, and why firms responded differently to crises. They describe how firms, developing countries, and multilateral development organizations can build a conflict-management system balancing the economic and social concerns of both host countries and investors.
