Who Needs Embassies? How U.S. Missions Abroad Help Shape Our World

    ISD, 1997

It is becoming increasingly accepted by the American people that our country's international responsibilities are and must undergo significant change as we move from the end of the Cold War into the twenty-first century. From German reunification to peace in Guatemala, from Middle East peace negotiations and North-South rapprochement on the Korean Peninsula to the end of apartheid in south Africa, this study provides firsthand reports of societies deeply involved in fluid and sometimes fragile transitions, all moving beyond rigidities imposed by the Cold War. We need to enter the onrushing next century true to our values and determined to advance the best interests of our country in an international community that will be increasingly gobalized as it feels the impact of dramatic new developments in science, technology, and communications. -- Max M. Kampelman
