Patriotism, Democracy, and Common Sense: Restoring America's Promise at Home and AbroadAlan Curtis Rowman & Littlefield, 2004 - Всего страниц: 478 Why have American policies failed? What alternative policies can return America to its promise, internally and in the eyes of a global community? This book answers these questions in a preposterous way. It asks citizens and policy makers to actually connect the dots--to move America forward by developing mutually supportive and complementary foreign, national security, Middle East, economic, domestic, inner city, media, campaign finance, and voting reform policies. |
