Drawing on decades of experience in government, William R. Polk offers a comprehensive view of foreign relations. Bridging academic disciplines, he treats foreign affairs as they occur in the real world. Accessible and engaging, "Neighbors and Strangers" is a revelatory look at how foreign affairs are a profound reflection of human nature.
Review:
"Polk argues persuasively that Americans have tended to view foreign affairs as a purely Western subject, largely confined to the 19th and 20th centuries. Hence, they often find it difficult to grasp the motivavtions of foreigners and to devise appropriate strategies for dealing with them....A lively and thought-provoking account strongly recommended."

Neighbors and Strangers: Fundamentals of Foreign Affairs (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780226673295) Polk, William R. Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: The University of Chicago Press, United States, 1997. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 2nd. 235 x 157 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. This is a study of foreign affairs, which questions their place in the grand scheme of civilization, and asks whether defences against the invasion of strangers influence the evolution of culture. The author seeks to show that diplomacy, intelligence, defence and warfare, intervention and law, and trade and aid should interact and form a whole pattern, essential if nations are to move safely into the 21st century. Examining the human experience, the text documents "fear of the foreigner" as a visceral response so pervasive that it transcends human memory, individual experience, and even logical analysis. It aims to show that the tension created by having to live as neighbours with those who are perceived as irredeemably alien has been one of the major causes of the rise of civilizations.
