"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."
