Now this commanding world figure draws upon her unrivaled political experience to comment on the threats that democracy faces at the dawn of the new millennium and on the role that Western powers should play in the world's hot spots, especially in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.</p> <p>Reflecting on the lessons of the Cold War, Thatcher outlines the foundation of U.S. dominance and its responsibilities as the only global superpower. She offers prescient observations about the dangers posed by Balkan instability, rogue states, Islamic extremism, and international terrorism -- and suggests strategies to counter them. In addition, she examines current trends in Russia, China, India, the Far East, Europe, and, particularly, Great Britain. Noting how every contemporary problem evokes demands for a global solution, Thatcher also warns of overreliance on international institutions at the expense of nation-states.</p> <p><i>Statecraft</i> is an incisive treatise on power in the age of globalism, written by a legendary world statesman with a matchless combination of principles, experience, and shrewdness.</p> 555366 2002 Statecraft: Strategies for a Changing World total:24|5:5|4:9|3:8|2:2|1:0| 24 89 43 0 0 0 false false Mon Nov 23 03:20:13 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 03:20:40 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Nov 20 22:37:14 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 22:38:37 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Nov 03 19:10:22 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 19:10:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 15 09:03:03 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 09:03:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 20 15:33:49 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 15:33:49 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 11 18:35:51 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 18:35:51 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Aug 05 20:30:57 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 20:30:57 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Mon Jul 27 07:15:48 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 07:15:59 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jul 13 12:52:06 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 12:52:06 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Tue Jul 07 19:56:39 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 19:56:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon May 18 10:24:38 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 10:24:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 20:04:42 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 20:04:42 -0800 2009 0 0 true false Tue Dec 30 19:00:18 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 19:00:34 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Nov 24 09:09:27 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 09:09:27 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 10 11:58:51 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 11:58:55 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Mon Nov 10 05:14:08 -0800 2008 Sun Oct 19 12:44:58 -0700 2008 Mon Nov 10 05:14:08 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 27 11:58:31 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 19 13:05:27 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Aug 14 06:37:39 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 06:37:39 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jul 31 12:47:10 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 12:47:10 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jul 22 11:05:46 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 11:05:46 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=568304
