Dr Christopher has combined a sensitive and insightful reporting of historical foundations with thoughtful analysis of current trends across the globe to deliver an invaluable set of resources of immediate and long-term benefit. The breadth of its coverage of global relations and the business and management implications of the changing international tapestry is awesome. This book is both a highly readable account of our modern world and a carefully crafted, even-handed text whose readers will be richer for making careful use of its superb resources.
