...between theory and practice. International concerns, such as South Africa, the Middle East, hunger, human rights, and nuclear proliferation, are analyzed in terms of partisan and specialized perceptions; of when to use self-help, exert influence, or engage in education; of those officials, journalists, businessmen, or others who might make a difference; of the choices they now perceive; and of ways to change those choices in order to reduce the costs of conflict, to promote one's view of justice, or both.
