THE WORLD - RICHARD HAASS KARTONIERT (TB)

The New York Times Bestseller A superb introduction to the world and global issues. Richard
Haass has written something that is brief  readable  and yet comprehensive-marked throughout by
his trademark intelligence and common sense. -Fareed Zakaria An invaluable primer from Richard
Haass  president of the Council on Foreign Relations  that will help anyone  expert and
non-expert alike  navigate a time in which many of our biggest challenges come from the world
beyond our borders. We live in a global era  in which what happens thousands of miles away
often affects our lives. Although the United States is bordered by two oceans  those oceans are
not moats. And the so-called Vegas rule-what happens there stays there-does not apply.
Globalization can be both good and bad  but it is not something that individuals or countries
can opt out of. The choice we face is how to respond. The World focuses on history  what makes
each region of the world tick  the many challenges globalization presents  and the most
influential countries  events  and ideas  to provide readers with the background they need to
make sense of this complicated and interconnected world.
