"Although written before the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Lincoln Bloomfield and his colleagues have offered many relevant concepts for policymakers and analysts on the complexities of an interconnected world. This book is a thoughtful and creative examination of the linkages among diplomacy, energy security, and international finance. It is worth a read."—U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel

The explosion of applied technology around the globe is redefining national interests. This book traverses the fields of energy, finance, and national security to offer a look at the new century's new geopolitics. Experts in all three areas join in a conversation about the ways in which globalization is affecting U.S. foreign policy. Their goal: to break free of predictive and policy-prescriptive trains of analysis.

Lincoln P. Bloomfield Jr. is U.S. assistant secretary of state for political military affairs. Previously, he has a partner at Armitage Associates L.C.
