See below for details. ______________________________________________________ Inside FOREIGN POLICY?S September | October Issue: WHAT IS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY? A Special Collection of Articles by Kofi Annan, Arjun Appadurai, Walden Bello, Noam Chomsky, Andrew Gowers, J. Bryan Hehir, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Sadako Ogata, and Ruth Wedgwood A year after September 11 and six months after tagging Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as an ?axis of evil,? President Bush has reiterated the U.S. commitment to taking action, and even preemptive measures, in the name of the ?international community.? But invoking that term is easier than defining it. In an exclusive package of essays, authors such as Kofi Annan, Noam Chomsky, and Ruth Wedgwood ask whether the international community truly exists. If so, who is part of it? How does it work? And perhaps most important, how should it work? http://www.foreignpolicy.com/issue_septoct_2002/ic.html _____________________________________________________ Advertisement EDB Located in the center of Asia where 2.8 billion people are in reach within a flight radius of only 7 hours --- a region with tremendous opportunities for markets, technologies, capital, talent, and business growth ---Singapore is an ideal launchpad for your business.

But if the United States really wants to win hearts and minds in the Muslim world, it needs to forget the airdrops of anti-Osama leaflets and windup radios tuned to the BBC. Instead, try using a little Britney Spears, Amnesty International, and some truth, empathy, and understanding. By Mark Leonard http://www.foreignpolicy.com/issue_septoct_2002/leonard.html ASIA?S ?CRONY CAPITALISTS? GET EVEN After years of lectures from U.S. officials about Asia?s need for better corporate governance, Asians might be forgiven a little pleasure in the United States? current corporate pain. But Asian policymakers are responding to the crises of confidence on Wall Street less with anger than angst. And the result might be more than just diminished moral authority for America. As Asian central bankers forgo a weak dollar in favor of a strengthened euro, U.S. financial markets may be forced to share the stage with an ever more assertive China and a newly self-confident Europe. By Tom Holland http://www.foreignpolicy.com/issue_septoct_2002/holland.html ______________________________________________________ Advertisement WORLDVIEWS 2002 One year after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, European publics look at the world in a similar way to ordinary Americans, while harboring deep reservations about the conduct of certain aspects of U.S. foreign policy. That is one of many conclusions of Worldviews 2002, a groundbreaking study of public attitudes in the United States and Europe by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations and the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
