Book Description
Offering often-surprising insights into American foreign policy, this book is the first comprehensive analysis of the U.S. Government's public statements and actions regarding democracy in Mexico. Spanning the years from the Central American crisis of the Reagan administration through the 1995 Mexican peso crisis, Mazza uses revealing interviews with many of the leading U.S. policy officials to probe beneath the surface of American foreign policy toward Mexico and question the set of aging, unexamined assumptions under which it operates. By chronicling and analyzing how the United States has treated democracy in Mexico, she adds a new understanding to United States-Mexico relations and to the nature of U.S. policy-making on democracy.

The Last American Diplomat
Author: George W. Liebmann
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857730401
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 672
Book Description
Can John D. Negroponte be described as 'The Last American Diplomat'? In a career spanning 50 years of unprecedented American global power, he was the last of a dying breed of patrician diplomats - devoted to public service, a self-effacing and ultimate insider, whose prime duty was to advise, guide and warn - a bulwark of traditional diplomatic realism against ideologue excess. Negroponte served as US ambassador to Honduras, Mexico, the Philippines and Iraq; he was US Permanent Representative to the UN, Director of National Intelligence and Deputy Secretary of State to George W. Bush. His was a high-flying and seemingly conventional career but one full of surprises. Negroponte opposed Kissinger in Vietnam, supported a 'proxy war' but opposed direct American military action against Marxists in Central America - facing bitter Congress opposition in the process. He swam against the floodtide of George W. Bush's neocon-dominated administration, warning against the Iraq war as a possible new 'Vietnam' and criticising aspects of Bush's 'War on Terror'. He disconcerted the administration by arguing that the re-establishment of Iraq would take as long as five years. And he was influential in international social and economic policy - working for the successful re-settlement of millions of refugees in Southeast Asia following the Vietnam War, issuing early warnings about the scourge of AIDS in Africa and successfully launching the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). George W. Liebmann's incisive account is based on personal and shared experience but it is no hagiography; beyond the author's discussions with Negroponte, this book is deeply researched in US state papers and includes interviews with leading actors. It will provide fascinating reading for anyone interested in the inside-story of American diplomacy, showing personal and policy struggles, and the underlying fissures present even in the world's last remaining superpower.

THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING

Publisher: BookMark Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
I am sure this book can bring God's enlightenment and wisdom in these last days in a much clearer way to people. I have seen how the lack of wisdom has made western society crumble, how everything is very confusing, we no longer know what is true or false, black or white, good or bad, the churches that once were the strong pillars that sustained and carried forward western society today have lost their credibility and power in the face of an increasingly unbelieving world, even within the churches there is a lack of agreement because the guidance of the Holy Spirit has been lost and each Christian thinks differently and not as God would like them to think. To tell the truth, I have felt this call of God for many years, but I did not know how to begin until in these last two years, God opened a door for me and made me write. At first, I did not think it was to make a book but after writing many things, I felt that it was time to carry out that idea that I had years ago of making a book that would serve to bring blessing to people and to bring the light of the word of God that the world needs in the midst of the chaos and confusion of these last days. It is not that I planned it or that I planned it for this time, but that God took me to places and made me meet people who opened the doors for me to write this book, and without these places and these people, this would not have been possible. I feel that if it is God's will and plan as I believe it is, God will open the doors, and this book will be published for the blessing of many people.
