Transforming International Politics: An American Role for the Post Cold War
Brilmayer, Lea
Brilmayer, Lea
Abstract
Most of us find the events of the last five or six years nothing short of astounding. It is not simply that the Cold War has ended, but that it ended so fast and with so little resistance. Already it has become difficult to explain to students in international relations classes the attitudes of authors who wrote just eight or ten years ago. Some of these students were only starting college or were still in high school when the Berlin Wall came down, and in the years prior to that, the Soviet Union had already started its fundamental transformation. l What will the world be like in ten more years? How will we explain the fears and foibles of the current generation, let alone those of the generations preceding us?
