Brazil prefers to keep that work behind the scenes, and its foreign policy is decidedly non-interventionist. "We don't feel a temptation to export our political and economic model," Lula foreign policy adviser Marco Aurélio Garcia told TIME last year. "We don't believe everyone should be like us." But at the same time, Lula is on a crusade to make Brazil, with the world's fifth largest population and ninth largest economy, a serious international player. He's stumping hard for a permanent Brazilian seat on the U.N. Security Council and more input from developing nations...
...Monash University media specialist Nick Economou says Murdoch and Packer appear to be members of a new breed of non-interventionist proprietors.

Since the 1970s, a party nominee who reaches the five percent threshold in the general election qualifies his party...
...least a little skeptical about how a people who will use any excuse to shout "We're Number One!" at the top of their lungs will take to the vision of a modest, non-interventionist America that Zinn proposes. But the books of these three men, as flawed in their respective executions as they may be, ask powerful questions that all Americans would do well to ponder. In a country that is still obsessing over "how" the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon could happen, we might all be better off if we tried asking...
