Dr. Marco Rimanelli, [as of 1998] current Director of the Center on Inter-American and World Studies of St. Leo University brought together on 19 March 1997 a distinguished group of scholars to the Center's IInd [2nd] Symposium at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida [USA], to analyze new international/regional developments in Europe, the ex-Soviet Union, Latin America, the Middle-East, Africa and Asia, as well as to suggest a coherently global, Post-Cold War foreign policy for U.S. National interests and Western security. This book is also a good general reference for use in University Classes. Please note that quantities may be limited.« less
