Aprašymas

Global Connections is a comprehensive encyclopedia with over 270 entries examining international problems and America's vital stake in them. It provides an overview of global issues that surface daily through reports in the media. This user-friendly encyclopedia guides students and the public to a better understanding of the challenges the United States will face in the new century. For teachers, this title guides classes through such themes as culture, power, change and continuity, and individuals and groups.

In Global Connections, Felton examines the 21st century world following the collapse of international communism and the array of conflicts and competition, religious and ethnic turmoil, economic tensions, and developmental concerns that still exist. Some issues as Middle East peace have long been on the front page, but others such as economic globalization, international terrorism, the Internet, international trade, worldwide environmental damage, and weapons proliferation, have recently emerged as major concerns for all nations.
